Question

1. ROM in anatomical planes is performed by moving:

Select one:

a. all joints of an extremity through all planes of motion simultaneously

b. a joint through the available motion in each plane separately

c. a joint through the available motion in multiple planes of motion simultaneously

d. muscles through ROM

2. In the sidelying position, the uppermost lower extremity is placed:

Select one:

a. on pillows to prevent adduction and pressure on the lowermost lower extremity

b. all

c. directly on top of the lowermost lower extremity

d. on pillows in abduction to decrease pressure on the lowermost lower extremity

Answer 1

1.

Option B - a joint through the available motion in each plane separately

Range of motion is performed in different planes like frontal plane (abduction & adduction), sagittal plane (flexion & extension) and transverse plane (internal rotation & external rotation) but each movement is performed separately.

2.

Option A - on pillows to prevent adduction and pressure on the lowermost lower extremity

In side lying due to hipbone the lowermost lower extremity are not in correct position so as to make it proper they should be placed on pillows.
