Foundational Concepts
A patient demonstrates triceps strength of 3/5 and decreased AROM throughout all shoulder motions. According to the ICF model, this would be considered?
An impairment
Connectors and Stabilizers between 2 bones
Ligaments
This is the most basic massage technique, often called “stroking,” that helps to relax the patient and spread lotion or oil.
effleurage
This type of range of motion occurs when the therapist moves the patient’s joint without any effort from the patient.
Passive ROM
This type of stretching involves slowly moving a muscle to the end of its range and holding the position for 15–60 seconds.
static stretching
Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants can both complete what part of patient care?
Interventions
The layer of the joint capsule that is highly vascular but poorly innervated ; crucial for joint lubrication and nutrition; produces synovial fluid
Stratum Synovium - inner
This massage technique uses kneading, lifting, or rolling motions to increase circulation and decrease muscle tightness.
petrissage
This type of ROM exercise is used when a patient can move a joint independently without assistance, but no resistance is added.
Active ROM
This type of stretching uses repetitive bouncing or rapid movements and is generally not recommended for most rehab patients.
ballistic stretching
Which training principle states : the human body adapts specifically to imposed demands
SAID principle
This type of cartilage is found between bones that require little motion. shock absorber, avascular, aneural, alymphatic
fibrocartilage
Massage strokes should generally be performed in this direction to assist venous and lymphatic return.
toward the heart
What is the correct order that ROM should be progressed/ performed
PROM > AAROM > AROM
This stretching technique uses an isometric contraction of the target muscle followed by relaxation and a passive stretch, often performed with a partner or therapist.
PNF stretching ( contract relax or autogenic inhibition)
which stage of motor learning is characterized by : a patient understands basics of how to complete the task, and is now working to refine movement pattern-focusing on how to make it smooth and most efficient/effective
associative stage
Which grade injury is classified as : Partially torn ligament fibers(sprain)/indentation of muscle belly with palpation(strain). Some joint laxity. Moderate swelling. Moderate pain with palpation or stress to ligament(sprain)/significant pain with muscle contraction
Grade 2
This condition, characterized by the presence of a blood clot, is a major contraindication for massage because of the risk of dislodging the clot.
Deep vein thrombosis
Name two goals of performing passive ROM exercises.
What are maintaining joint mobility, preventing contractures, improving circulation, or decreasing pain?
Name two benefits of regular stretching for musculoskeletal health.
What are increased flexibility, improved joint range of motion, decreased risk of injury, or reduced muscle soreness?
Which stage of motor learning is characterized by a patient focusing on how to complete a task and reducing distractions?
cognitive phase
This grade of sprain or strain is the most severe, involving a complete tear of the ligament or muscle/tendon, resulting in significant loss of function, severe pain initially (that may decrease due to nerve damage), and often requires surgical repair.
Grade III
this type of manual therapy involves applying pressure to spread the tissues until resistance is felt, then maintaining tension until the resistance yields
what is myofascial release
A patient recovering from a rotator cuff repair is restricted to passive ROM only for the first 4 weeks. Explain the clinical reasoning behind this restriction.
to protect healing tissues by preventing active contraction of the repaired muscles/tendons, while still maintaining joint mobility and preventing stiffness
The application of a quick stretch to a muscle to enhance muscle contraction will stimulate which of the following sensory organs?
