Q

What is the purpose of ROM through functional patterns?

A
  1. assists in teaching ADLs and IADLs
  2. helps pt realize purpose and value of ROM
  3. assists in developing motor patterns
  4. promotes compliance for “meaningful” exercises
24
Q

Exercise RX for acute stage

A

PROM 3-5 reps
within pain tolerance (surgical restrictions) several times per day

25
Exercise RX for subacute stage
PROM --> AAROM --> AROM: 10-15 reps with brief hold periods (3-5 seconds) within pain free range 2-3 times per day
26
Exercise RX for Chronic stage
AROM: >30 reps for mm re-education, maintenance of ROM, stretching to gain ROM
27
What is "any therapeutic maneuver designed to increase mobility of soft tissues"?
Stretching
28
What does stretching help with?
Improve ROM by elongating structures that have adaptively shortened and have become **hypomobile** over time
29
What is dynamic flexibility?
Flexibility due to active movement
30
What is passive flexibility?
Flexibility due to a passive force
31
What is it called when you have limited arthrokinematic movement of a joint?
Hypomobility
32
Which arthrokinematic movement can we help with? can we NOT help with as much?
We can help: glides We CAN'T help: rolls
33
What is "designated by location and position the joint is 'stuck in'"?
Contractures
34
What is "MT unit is adaptively shortened"?

Pseudomyostatic contracture
36
What is "adhesions, synovial proliferation, joint effusion, osteophytes"?
Arthrogenic and periarticular contractures
37
What is "fibrous changes in connective tissue leads to adhesions & is difficult to re-establish normal tissue length"?
Fibrotic contracture and irreversible contractures
38
What is "**purposefully** stretch or mobilize certain muscles and joints while letting **others** become **hypomobile** to improve function"?
Selective Stretching
39
What is "purposefully overstretch certain muscles or joints to increase function"?
Overstretching and Hypermobility

what is manual or mechanical stretching?
Utilizes an external force to perform a passive stretch
41
What is passive stretching?

43
What is "patient performs the stretch"?
Self-stretching
44
What is neuromuscular facilitation and inhibition?
