DPT 540 EXAM 2 FINAL STUDY GUIDE EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
LATEST UPDATE
Active Flexibility
ability to contract mm through ROM
passive flexability
passive ROM, must have extensability of soft tissue @/around joint
Contracture
shortening of soft tissue @/around joint limiting ROM/functional activities and resist
passive/active stretch
Myostatic contracture
mm shortening w/ fewer sarcomeres in series (NOT individual sarcomere length)
Pseudomyostatic contracture
hypertonicity/mm spasm/guarding/pain from CVA, SCI or TBI
Arthrogenic/periarticular contracture
CT/joint capsule losses mobility, = decrease in arthrokinematic motion (join
effusion/adhesion/osteo formation)
fibrotic/irreversible contracture
loss of soft tissue extensibility from long-term immobilization or serve tissue trauma or
neuromuscular disease
, how to name contracture
based off the mm that is shortened
(shorten elbow flexors or elbow flexion contracture = unable to extend elbow)
Indications for stretching
- ROM limited
- Mm weakness/shortening of opposing tissue
- Fitness program to reduce risk of injury
-Before or after vigorous exercise
Contraindications for stretching
- Bony block
- Fracture
- Inflammation or infection
- sharp/acute pain with joint movement
- Hematoma/soft tissue trauma
