week 7 Flashcards
Active movement
the movement of a joint or body segment produced by active, voluntary muscle contraction by the individual.
Active-assisted movement
Active-assisted movement is the movement of a joint or body segment whereby an external force is used to assist the active, voluntary muscle contraction of the individual.
What is Passive Movement
Passive movement is movement of a joint or body segment by a force external to the body, without active, voluntary muscle contraction by the individual.
Physiological joint movement
Physiological joint movement refers to the normal, natural range of movement (ROM) of a joint within its anatomical and biomechanical limits.
Passive physiological movement
the movement is performed through the normal physiological range of movement present in the joint.
Accessory movement
Accessory movement is a movement that a person cannot perform independently but is necessary for normal joint movement. eg spin, roll, slide
Arthrokinematic motion
A. Anterior gliding of the femur on the tibia. B. Posterior rolling of the femur on the tibia. C. Both gliding and rolling.
manipulation
Manipulation is a specialised technique performed through a few degrees of motion at the end of joint range.
It is a forceful high velocity thrust in localised area – most commonly the spine.
3 planes of movement
- Frontal/coronal – vertical plane that divides the body into front and back
- Sagittal – vertical plane that divides the body into right and left sides
- Transverse – horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower components
Indications for use of passive movements
✓ familiar with joint movement
✓ assess an individual’s ROM if unable
✓ gain information about joint
× Passive movement cannot- prevent muscle atrophy, increase muscle strength or endurance, reduce adipose tissue
Can passive movements prevent effects of immobilisation?
x Low levels of evidence available to support the use of passive movements in these circumstances
✓ Active/volitional movement by the individual more likely to have an effect
Position of patient
- patient comfort
- support and stability
- neutral position
- access and exposure to
areas to be moved
Draping
- Protects Patient
- Protects you
what info do we get when we preform passive movements (normal & abnormal)
normal= joint will move smoothly & friction free until near end of range when some resistance is felt & increases until the limit reached
abnormal= jerky, resisted, catching, spasm
what is p1 and p2
p1= pain onset
p2= pain limit
