Therapeutic Exercise 1 Flashcards
A systematic and planned performance of bodily movements and physical activities intended for patients and clients.
Therapeutic Exercise
An individual without diagnosed dysfunction who undergo PT for wellness
Client
An individual with impairment and functional limitations diagnosed by PT
Patient
Most stable position
Lying
The position that is hard to maintain due to decrease BOS
Standing
The basic technique used for examination and giving instruction to the patient
Range of Motion
The exercise that takes the muscle tendons and the joint through the entire ROM
Mobility exercise
The capability of the muscle to shorten after its elongated into its maximum
Functional Excursion
Movement of a segment through unrestricted ROM by an external force
Passive ROM
Assistance is provided to the prime mover because it cannot attain full ROM
Active-Assistive ROM
Maximum lengthened position of the muscle
Passive Insufficiency
A movement where it can actively contract without assistance of external force
Active ROM
The length of the muscle is shortened where it can no longer apply force
Active Insufficiency
Used to protect the healing tissue when more intensive muscle contraction is contraindicated
Self-Assisted ROM
Four examples of external forces
Gravity, Machine, Another individual, Another part of own body
Type of ROM: Does not increase or maintains strength
AAROM
Type of ROM: Used for acutely inflamed tissue
PROM
Type of ROM: Provide sensory feedback
AROM
Type of ROM: Introduction to exercise
PROM
It can provide enough assistance to the muscle in a controlled manner
AAROM
Type of ROM: Maintains contractile of the muscle
AROM
Type of ROM: Uses tools
Self-assisted ROM
Type of ROM: Enhance synovial fluid movement
PROM
Type of ROM: Increases circulation and prevents thrombus formation
AROM
Type of ROM: For aerobic conditions
AROM
Type of ROM: Decrease joint pain
PROM
Type of ROM: Can be progressively be strengthened to achieve ROM
AAROM
Ability to the muscle to be stretched
Extensibility
Type of stretch: elongated past point of resistance
Static Stretch
Any therapeutic intervention designated to increase extensibility to tissue
Flexibility Exercise
PNF stretch: (+) isometric contraction and relaxation
Hold-Relax
Type of stretch: Quick, jerky movements, usually high velocity and painful
Ballistic
Type of stretch: Tissue is incrementally lengthened to a new range
Static Progressive
PNF stretch: (+) isotonic contraction and relaxation
Contract-Relax
Type of stretch: Short duration stretch with multiple repetitions
Cyclic Stretch
The ability of the muscle to recoil after being stretched
Elasticity
PNF stretch: When the target muscle is stretched, the agonist contracts
Agonist-Contract
PNF stretch: Combinations of two techniques
Hold-Relax, Agonist-Contract
Type of contracture: (+) pathology with adaptive shortening of the muscle
Pseudomyogenic
Type of contracture: (+) adhesion around the joint
Arthrogenic
