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 it’s 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
