Physical Therapy
Accessory motion - correct answers-ability of the joint surfaces to glide, roll, spin on
each other
active assisted range of motion - correct answers-joint movement in which the patient
may be assisted either manually or mechanically through an arc of movement
active free range of motion - correct answers-joint movement in which the patient does
not receive ant support or resistance through an arc of movement
active range of motion (AROM) - correct answers-Ability of patient to voluntarily move a
limb through an arc of movement
active resisted exercise - correct answers-joint movement in which an external force
resists the movement
aerobics training - correct answers-exercise program that uses oxygen as the major
energy source
aquatic physical therapy - correct answers-therapeutic use of water for rehabilitation or
prevention of injury
Bad Ragaz method - correct answers-Aquatic therapy technique suing proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation techniques while the patient is suspended by rings in the
water.
bursitis - correct answers-inflammation of bursae, fluid-filed sacs located throughout the
body that decrease the friction between two structures
closed kinetic chain exercise - correct answers-Exercise incorporating several muscle
groups through the use of several joints with the end segment fixed.
cryotherapy - correct answers-Application of cold agents to cause decrease in blood
flow and metabolism, which results in a decrease in swelling and pain.
dysfunction - correct answers-any functional disability
electrical stimulation - correct answers-application of electricity at specified locations to
stimulate nerves, muscles, and other soft tissues to reduce pain and swelling, to
increase strength and range of motion, and to facilitate wound healing.
flexibility - correct answers-ability to move a limb segment through a range of motion
flexibility exercise - correct answers-exercise performed over time , using stress, to
change the length and elasticity of soft tissue such as muscle; usually performed for
postural or ROM enhancement
fluidotherapy - correct answers-use of self-contained unit filled with sawdust-type
particles heated to the desired temperature and circulated by air pressure around the
involved body part.
fracture - correct answers-break in a bone
functional exercise - correct answers-exercise that mimics functional movements and
activities. Functional movements incorporate strength, flexibility, balance, and
coordination.
gonionmeter - correct answers-instrument used to measure and document ROM
goniometry - correct answers-Methods to measure and document ROM
Halliwick method - correct answers-Aquatic therapy technique using a preswim stroke
instruction and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
history - correct answers-description of the past and current health status of the
patient/client.
