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
