One purpose of joint ROM evaluation is to establish a baseline for an individual's ROM in a joint. T or F | True, this allows for comparison of the normal range for that patient or can be used to compare ROM available in the unaffected side. |
Database ROM values can: (a)show progression, (b)show need for modification of treatment, (c)provide documentation for legal evidence, (d)all | D,Documented baseline values provide documented evidence to third party payers of progression or need for modification. |
The ROM eval. results cannot be used in Workman's comp cases. T or F | False |
Hypomobility and hypermobility of joint function does not interfere with ADL's. T or F | False |
Hypomobility describes joint ROM that is due to the patient being lazy. T or F | False, Hypomobility is decreased ROM due to joint tightness. |
An ergonomic study research could use ROM eval results to design ideal products for the average person. T or F | True |
A patient would have no interest in seeing their ROM results. T or F | False, ROM eval results could be used to motivate patients. |
Research conducted on determining the effectiveness of treatment regimes would not be enhanced by ROM eval results. T or F | False |
Goniometry is not useful when there is suspected limitation of motion. T or False | False |
Documentation of abnormal or fixed joint positions do not have to be communicated to other healthcare staff. Just record the findings on discharge. | False |
A fixed joint position is called a contracture. T or F | True |
AROM can determine a patient's muscle _______,willingness to move, and their overall coordination. | strength |
Which motion is greater AROM or PROM? | PROM |
PROM is greater than AROM because a joint has some additional motion available. Where does this occur? | At the end of the range, not under voluntary control. |
The purpose of the additional available motion not under voluntary control is to absorb intrinsic forces and protect the joint. T or F | False, it protects against extrinsic forces and protects the joint. |
PROM would not be helpful in determining whether a certain motion causes symptoms. T or F | False |
PROM can reveal the type of tissue resistance. T or F | True |
Tissue resistance, or the feeling occurring at the end of PROM is called the End Determination. T or F | False, it is called the end feel. |
There are no differences in end feels, all are the same. T or F | False |
Normal end feels are classified as ________, ________, and hard. | Soft,Firm |
PROM that is less than AROM is usually due to patient guarding or not being relaxed. T or F | True |
A Soft end feel is an abrupt increase in resistance, like when flexing the elbow. T or F | False, a soft end feel is a gradual increase in resistance as soft tissue approximation occurs as with elbow flexion. |
Firm end feels are abrupt increases in resistance due to muscle or capsular tension. T or F | True |
A "creep" may be described as a give that is felt as the tissue is being stretched. T or F | True |
A Hard end feel is gradual and does not involve stoppage of the joint movement. That's called 'bone on bone' movement. T or F | False, Hard end feels are abrupt stoppages of joint movements as with the 'bone on bone' feeling that occurs with elbow extension. |
An example of a Firm end feel is hip extension with knee flexion. T or F | False, hip flexion with knee extension produces the feeling due to the stretch of the muscle tissue. |
Abnormal end feels can be described as occurring sooner or later in the ROM than what is typical for that joint. T or F | True |
Empty end feels can be classified as soft, firm or hard. The emptiness relates to the joint structure. T or F | False, they can't be categorized, and are due to patient guarding, muscle spasm, or noncompliance. |
Muscular end feels occur with tight or reactive muscles but not with spasmy muscles. T or F | False, all are causes |
Capsular end feels occur with stiff, painful, leathery joints but are not in a specified pattern of LOM. T or F | False, all are present |
Ligamentous end feels is firm and this is normal. T or F | False, this is an abnormal end feel. |
Springy end feels relate to tendons, and are normal. T or F | False, springy end feels are abnormal if they are cartilaginous. |
Overpressure is the pressure an examiner applies at the beginning of ROM so that there will be slack at the end of the motion. T or F | False, Overpressure is applied by the examiner at the end to take up slack of motion remaining in the joint. |
Proximal joint component describes the portion of the joint below the joint axis. T or F | False, Above |
The movement arm is aligned in the proximal joint component. An example would be the humerus for elbow flexion. T or F | The stationary arm is aligned. |
