AROM
active range of motion
- movement produced by one’s own muscles
AAROM
active assisted range of motion
- movement produced by one’s own muscles and assisted by an external force
PROM
passive range of motion
- movement produced by an external force
functional ROM
ROM needed to perform functional movements
- ex. reach top of head or small of back
WNL ROM
within normal limits range of motion
- indicates that the arc of AROM is within normal acceptable limits
limitations, contraindications, and precautions to ROM
hard end-feel normal/abnormal
normal: bony block - olecranon process in olecranon fossa
abnormal: client has an external fixator bone in grown
firm end-feel normal/abnormal
normal: soft tissue, tight but a bit resilient
abnormal: client has frozen shoulder
soft end-feel normal/abnormal
normal: flexing elbow with excess adipose tissue
abnormal: flexing elbow with edema
always round to the nearest ___ when using a goni
5 degree
rotator cuff muscles (4)
shoulder condition: shoulder instability
shoulder condition: impingement and tears
shoulder impingement: tendonitis, bursitis, tendinopathy
- causes: tendons/ bursa trapped/ compressed by shoulder movements
rotator cuff tears: acute vs. chronic
- causes: acute - trauma/ chronic extension of shoulder impingement
shoulder condition: adhesive capsulitis
adhesions
- synovitis
- fibrosis
- primary vs. secondary
4 stages of adhesive capsulitis & treatment
shoulder condition: fractures
cause: FOOSH
- rehab depends on stability
- complex immobilized 4-6 weeks
- minimally displaced 1-3 weeks
* must consider different questions
- non-operative management
- stable, non-displaced
- surgical management
shoulder condition: brachial plexus
shoulder condition: cervical radiculopathy
medical and surgical management: factors in decision making
medical and surgical management: conservative treatment
when is it the best option
- education
- HEP
- strategies for balancing rest & modified activities
when for a poor surgical candidate
- prevention of further injury
- caregiver education
immobilization, pain/edema control/modalities
medical and surgical management: different types of surgery/ surgical management
OT evaluation of the shoulder
OT assessment - shoulder
outcome measures - shoulder
