S1_L3-4: ROM, Stretching, & Flexibility Flashcards
(1) ____ is when a muscle contracts on both joints that it crosses to the point where it cannot be shortened anymore.
- Active insufficiency
Name the 6 structure that can affect ROM.
- Muscle
- Joint structure (synovial fluid & capsule)
- Ligament
- Fascia
- Nerve
- Vessels
This is also known as the range of muscle
Functional excursion
TRUE OR FALSE: PROM may prevent muscle atrophy that is why itβs used in early stages of healing.
False.
PROM does not prevent muscle atrophy.
TRUE OR FALSE: AROM & AAROM prevents thrombus formation
True.
In wall climbing, proper posture must be taught to avoid (1) ___, (2) ____, (3) ____.
- trunk side bending
- toe reaching
- shoulder shrugging
Continuous Passive Motion must initially start at (1) ____ degrees then progress (2) ____ degrees per day as tolerated.
- 20-30
- 10-15
TRUE OR FALSE: Gravity provides resistive force against the prime motion, therefore, prime mover
requires assistance.
False.
Gravity provides assistive force.
Functional activities require assistance when muscle grade is ___
below 3/5
TRUE OR FALSE: PROM prevents muscle atrophy.
False
TRUE OR FALSE: PROM is indicated when a patient is in a comatose.
True
____ is dependent on the amount of muscle contraction
and tissue resistance
Dynamic Flexibility (Active Mobility / AROM)
What 6 factors contribute to hypomobility?
5&6 from Kisner 7th ed.
- Prolonged Immobilization
- Sedentary lifestyle/habitual postures
- Postural malalignment (congenital/acquired) / muscle
- Paralysis / weakness
- Tissue trauma resulting in inflammation and pain
- Congenital or acquired deformities
TRUE OR FALSE: Pseudomyostatic contracture occurs on shortened musculotendinous unit.
False.
Myostatic contracture occurs on shortened musculotendinous unit.
_____ contracture develops when connective tissue that
attaches to a joint capsule becomes stiff
Periarticular
TRUE OR FALSE: PROM is used to prevent cartilage degeneration & decrease pain.
True.
____ is a time-dependent property of non-contractile connective tissues that allows change in length when sustained.
Viscoelasticity
5 factors that cause changes in collagen, thereby affected stress-strain response
- immobility
- inactivity
- age
- corticosteroids
- injury
Autogenic inhibition is the inhibition of the contractile components of the muscle by the ____
golgi tendon organ
Name the 7 contraindications for stretching
- Bony block
- Recent fracture or incomplete bony union
- Acute inflammatory or infectious process
- Sharp, acute pain with joint movement or muscle elongation
- Hematoma or tissue trauma
- Hypermobility
- Contractures or shortened tissues
TRUE OR FALSE: Lengthening of opposing tissue is indicated for stretching
False.
Stretching is only indicated for shortening of opposing tissue.
TRUE OR FALSE: Low intensity stretching is recommended to minimize muscle guarding.
True
Which statement is correct?
- Cryotherapy is used to minimize post-stretch muscle soreness.
- Cryotherapy is used before stretching muscles to prevent soreness.
Only the 1st statement is correct.
Stabilization is the fixation of the body segment that has an (1) ____ to the muscle that is to be (2) ____.
- attachment
- stretched
TRUE OR FALSE: Ballistic stretching is indicated for stroke patients
False.
Ballistic stretching is avoided.
Increased tension resists (1)____ & is thought to compromise the effectiveness of the stretching procedure.
- lengthening
____ may be the adaptive shortening of other soft tissues that cross or surround a joint
Contracture
TRUE OR FALSE: Muscle range is describe with terms such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, or rotation.
False.
Joint range is describe with terms such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, or rotation. Conversely, muscle range is related to the functional excursion of the muscles.
Functional excursion is (1)___ influenced by the joint it (2)___.
- Directly
- Crosses

TRUE OR FALSE: A skateboard or a power board is a friction-free surface that encourages movement without the resistance of gravity of friction.
True.

TRUE OR FALSE: For two-joint or multi-joint muscles, their range goes beyond the limits of any one joint they cross.
True
