ROM/Stretching Kahoot Flashcards
When should ROM exercises not be performed?
when disruptive to healing process
T/F: Passive ROM is performed with external force only.
true
What is the purpose of Passive ROM (PROM)?
maintain muscle elasticity
When a two-joint muscle becomes shortened to the point that it cannot generate tension, this is called:
active insufficinecy
The distance that a muscle is capable of shortening after it has been elongated to its maximum is called
functional excursion
Movement of a segment within unrestricted ROM produced by contraction of the mm crossing the segment joint is called?
AROM
T/F: The main goal for PROM is to decrease complications that would occur with immobilization.
true
indications for PROM x3
acute, inflamed tissue
unable/not supposed to actively move segment
after surgical repair of contractile tissue
Passive motion performed by a mechanical device that moves the joint slowly & continuously through ROM is called:
CPM
The gastrocnemius is an example of a _____ joint muscle.
2 joint muscle
T/F: PROM is an appropriate precursor for a PTA to use prior to initiating stretching.
true
A pt presents with difficulty moving and limited ROM from time spent in bed. Which ROM would be most appropriate?
A/AROM
The limitations of ? include inability to prevent mm atrophy, increase strength, or greatly assist with circulation.
PROM
T/F: PROM can help develop coordination & motor skills for functional activities.
false
T/F: Flexibility exercise can improve mobility.
true
What type of stretching is performed with synergistic muscle groups?
PNF
What type of stretching involves repeated application and release?
cyclic/intermittent
What should be the intensity of stretching to minimize muscle guarding?
low intensity, low load
What are the properties of soft tissue related to stretching?
viscoelasticity
elasticity
plasticity
What are the contraindications to stretching?
hypermobile joint
acute inflammation
bony block
recent fractures
What is the effect of slow stretching speed?
minimizes muscle activation
What is the recommended frequency for stretching?
2+ times per week
