Treatment Principles Lecture 14 Flashcards
What are the goals of therapeutic exercise and activities?
- Prevention of dysfunction
2. Restoration or improvement of ROM, Strength, Coordination, & Skill
What are four things that can be achieved by the improvement of ROM
- Enhanced positioning
- Ease of care by caregiver
- Enhanced ability to perform ADLs
- Prepare for strength
What are four goals of strength training?
- Development of strength
- Enhancement of strength
- Maintenance of strength
- Improve muscular and CV endurance
What is coordination?
Using the right muscles at the right time with correct intensity. It is the basis of smooth and efficient movement, often occurring automatically.
T/F Does coordination require an intact musculature?
True.
Name three therapeutic exercises for improvement of intramuscular coordination.
- Constant repetition of few motor activities
- Use of sensory cues to enhance motor performance
- Increase the speed of the activity
What are three things that cause decreased ROM?
- Systemic, joint, neurological, or muscular diseases
- Surgical or traumatic insults
- Inactivity or immobilization
T/F ROM activities are administrated to increase strength of muscles
False. ROM activities are administered to maintain existing joint and soft tissue mobility
T/F Passive ROM is the same as passive stretching
False Passive ROM is movement within unrestricted ROM produced by external force.
T/F There is no voluntary muscular contraction during passive ROM
True
What are three diagnoses you would use Passive ROM to treat?
- Comatose, or paralyzed
- Complete bed rest
- When Active ROM is painful
What do you do if a section of the body is immobilized?
A. Let the surrounding section remain immobile
B. Do ROM to regions above immobilized section only.
C. Do ROM to regions above and below immobilized region
C. Do ROM to regions above and below immobilized section
T/F Controlled passive ROM is used to decrease complications of immobilization
True. This is done by:
- Maintaining Joint integrity
- Maintaining elasticity of muscle
- Minimizing effects of formation of contractures
- Decrease & inhibit pain
- Maintain awareness of movement
What doesn’t passive ROM do? (3)
- Prevent atrophy of muscle
- Increase strength or endurance
- Assist circulation
T/F Passive ROM is contraindicated hen any motion is disruptive to healing
True.
T/F Early motion is demonstrated to decrease pain and increase rate of recovery
True
