Chapter 19 Rehabilitation
Section 19-2 Rehabilitation Procedures

2. ROM Each joint in our body has a range of motion
If patients have an illness or disability that requires long periods of immobility or extended bed rest, it is important that all their joints be moved through their full ROM

3. ROM
Pts can be encouraged to do ROM exercises while do their ADLs (dressing, bathing)
ROM exercises help maintain muscle tone and joint flexibility

4. ROM ROM exercises also help prevent contractures
Contractures=permanent shortening of muscles due to lack of use

5. ROM Active ROM=pt moves their own extremities without assistance
Passive ROM=pt is unable to move their limbs so the health care worker must move the extremities for the pt

6. ROM movements: Abduction – moving a body part away from the midline
Adduction – moving a body part toward the midline

7. ROM movements:
Flexion – decreasing the angle between 2 bones, or bending a body part
Extension – increasing the angle between 2 bones, or straightening a body part

8. ROM movements:
5. Hyperextension – excessive straightening

9. ROM movements:
6. Inversion – moving toward the inside 7. Eversion– moving toward the outside

10. ROM movements:
8. Dorsiflexion – bending backward

11. ROM movements: 9. Rotation – turning a body part around its own axis
10. Internal Rotation – turning inward
11. External Rotation – turning outward

12. ROM movements:
12. Pronation – turning a body part downward 13. Supination – turning a body part upward

13. Let’s Review! Range of motion
____________________ exercises help to maintain muscle tone and joint flexibility and prevent contractures.
The correct answer is:
Range of motion

14. Let’s Review!
_______________________ ROM is when a patient can move their own extremities without assistance.
The correct answer is:
Active

15. Let’s Review! Contracture
The permanent shortening of muscles due to lack of use is called _______________________.
The correct answer is:
Contracture

16. Let’s Review!
Moving toward the inside, such as turning the ankle inward is called:
Adduction
Extension
Inversion
Internal rotation
The correct answer is: C

17. Let’s Review!
Decreasing the angle between 2 bones, bending is called:
Flexion
Extension
Inversion
Eversion
The correct answer is: A
