9/3d ROM

Question 1

PROM

Answer 1

Passive Range of Motion - truly passive is hard to accomplish.
why - someone who is unable to do active ROM and you don’t want them to fatigue
how - manual therapy and stretching

Question 2

AROM

Answer 2

Active Range of Motion - muscle contraction necessary
why - strengthen weak muscles
how - active and resistance motion is critical

Question 3

AAROM

Answer 3

active assisted range of motion - Patient uses the muscles surrounding the joint to perform the exercise but requires some help from the therapist or equipment (such as a strap)
why - tendon repair, and you’re trying to give the sensory perception that fullmotion is there the the whole patient is not available
how - strap

Question 4

flexibility

Answer 4

the length of a muscle/the ability for a muscle to elongate

Question 5

what structures influence ROM?

Answer 5

ligaments
meniscus - enhance surface area of joint, stability
tendons - muscle to bone
joint capsule - bone to bone, stability
fat pads
bursae
synovial fluid
***articular/hyaline cartilage - critical for friction/free surface between joints

Question 6

which is more important PROM or AROM?

Answer 6

• PROM allows for more force than AROM. PROM can surpass AROM
• If P is more than A, then patient is unable to relax the muscle and there is a tissue length issue

Question 7

Lag

Answer 7

when there is a problem in the force production system
