Terms

- Simple motion of joint, performed entirely by the therapist without effort on patient's part is called:
- Passive
- Simple motion of joint made to give the impression that the movement is executed by the patient is called:
- Assistive
- In passive joint movements, the extent of movement should be:
- sufficient to produce a distinct feel of resistance
- In resistive joint movements, the degree of resistance should be:
- regulated to the condition of the patient's tissues
- In joint movements, the bone distal to the joint which is to be treated, is handled how?
- grasped to execute movement
- Passive joint movement increases what?
- the flow of blood and lymph
- What actions do the patient and therapist make during resistive joint movements?
- 1) both patient and therapist take part 2)patient resists therapist's move 3)therapist resists patient's move
- The bone proximal to the joint to be treated is handled how?
- steadied
- When a patient's tissues are in normal condition, how is joint movement applied?
- Patient initiates movement, therapist then offers resistance, slight at first, then increasing, and ending with diminished resistance.
- Lymph and venous channels are largest in the joints than anywhere else in the limb because:
- a great amount of absorption is required to maintain a healthy articular surface
- What are the physiological effects of joint movements?
- produce powerful derivative effects, modify nutrition, affect neighboring & distal parts
- In joint stretching, how is force applied and withdrawn?
- gradual force and sudden withdrawl
- In cases involving acute inflammation, joint movements should be applied where?
- to the proximal joint
-
T or F
A new sprain is a therapeutic application for joint movement. - False
- According to Kellogg, joint movements may be done how?
- passively, assistively, and resistively
- Helping a patient to move his arm toward his body midline would be an example of ?
- passive abduction
- Your client is paralyzed. Should your joint movement be reflexive, resistive, passive, or assistive?
- passive
-
T or F
Spinal sclerosis is a therapeutic application of joint movements. - False
- Name 3 therapeutic application of joint movements:
-
1)fractures & sprains previously treated by immobilization
2)chronic joint disease
3)joint inflammation (derivatively) - Moving the forearm toward the arm at the elbow joint would be an example of what movement?
- flexion
- What movement typically involves restoring a part of the body to the anatomical position?
- adduction
- According to Tortora & grabowski, circumduction is a continuation of:
- flexion, abduction, extension, adduction
- Movement of the femur laterally at the hip joint is an example of what movement?
- abduction
- If your elbow were bent at a 90 degree angle, and your forearm were made to cross your waist such that your hand came to rest upon the opposite hip, you would be performing:
- medial rotation of the arm at the shoulder
- Movement of the forearm such that the palm is turned posteriorly or inferiorly is called:
- pronation
-
Which of the following is a defining feature of the anatomical position:
supination, pronation, flexion, or extension? - supination
- A bone revolves around its own longitudinal axis in what movement?
- rotation
