Q

What is coordination?

A

Using the right muscles at the right time with correct intensity. It is the basis of smooth and efficient movement, often occurring automatically.

Q

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.

Q

T/F Controlled passive ROM is used to decrease complications of immobilization

A

True. This is done by:

  1. Maintaining Joint integrity
  2. Maintaining elasticity of muscle
  3. Minimizing effects of formation of contractures
  4. Decrease & inhibit pain
  5. Maintain awareness of movement

17
Q

T/F When performing Passive ROM, the patient should be comfortable and free of restrictions

A

True

18
Q

T/F When performing PROM, the therapist shouldn’t worry about using proper body mechanics

A

False

The therapist should use proper body mechanics when performing PROM

19
Q

T/F When performing PROM, the therapist should not grasp around the joint

A

False, Control movement by grasping around joint, modify your grip based on subjective complaints

20
Q

T/F Therapist can move client past their available range

A

False, The therapist should move through a pain free range and Should NOT force beyond available range

21
Q

How many times should the therapist repeat PROM motions?

A

5-10 times in smooth movements

22
Q

T/F Should the therapist monitor the client’s vital signs and pain level during and following treatment?

A

True. The therapist should document any observed or measurable reactions.

23
Q

T/F Generally as strength increases, endurance increases.

A

True

24
Q

Weakness can be caused by what? (3 things)

A

Disease, disuse, & immobilization

25
Q

What are three goals of strength training?

A

Increased strength, increased endurance, & increased power.

26
Q

Name three precautions to strength training

A
  1. Cardiovascular precautions-remind the patient to breath, no Valsalva
  2. Fatigue- general fatigue. Local fatigue is normal
  3. Osteoporosis
27
Q

Name two contraindications to strength training

A
  1. inflammation

2. Pain- if during or more than 24 hours after

28
Q

T/F Strength, endurance and power can be developed from isotonic exercises

A

True.

29
Q

T/F Strength, endurance and power can be developed from isometric exercises

A

False, power can only develop with isotonic exercises

30
Q

T/F It is not necessary to do isometric exercises through out the entire range of motion, doing one position will increase strength of entire muscle

A

False. Will only increase strength in position held, so you have to do it at different positions to get full ROM

31
Q

Put these in order from easiest on weak muscles to hardest.

Isotonic-eccentric, Isometric, & Isotonic-concentric

A

Isometric, Isotonic- eccentric, Isotonic- concentric, then a combination of all

32
Q

A ______ is the shortening of muscle or other tissues that cross a joint resulting in limitation of joint motion.

A

contracture

33
Q

T/F Some contractures are permanent

A

True, fixed, or organic contractures result in a permanent loss of ROM when soft tissue is replaced by nonextensible tissue

34
Q

T/F In Passive stretching, the therapist moves a client beyond the unrestricted range

A

True. The patient must be relaxed. The therapist controls direction, intensity and duration

35
Q

Intensity and duration of passive stretching is dependent on______ and _______

A

patient tolerance and therapist’s strength and endurance

36
Q

T/F It is not necessary to warm tissue before before doing passive stretching

A

False. Warm tissue first with either low intensity exercise or therapeutic heat

37
Q

How long should you hold a stretch?

A

30 seconds

38
Q

________ is a technique in which a patient reflexively relaxes the muscle to be stretched before stretching

A

Active inhibition

39
Q

T/F Active inhibition is only possible with innervated muscle

A

True. Cannot be done on paralysis or neuromuscular dysfunction

40
Q

What are four precautions of Active inhibition?

A
  1. Do not force past normal ROM
  2. Be careful with osteoporosis
  3. Guard newly united fractures
  4. If pain, or muscle soreness over 24 hours
41
Q

Name 6 contraindication to active inhibition

A
  1. when bony block limits joint motion
  2. after recent fracture
  3. If acute inflammation around joint
  4. If any sharp acute pain when moving joint
  5. hematoma present
  6. if contracture is providing functional stability to joint
