1. Define Relaxed Passive Movement & Explain Its Principles
   Definition:
   Relaxed Passive Movement is a movement performed accurately, rhythmically, and
   smoothly by the physiotherapist through the available range of motion while the
   patient’s muscles are inactive and fully relaxed. The joint is moved within the painless
   range and in the same direction as active movement.
   Principles:
   • Relaxation: Provide a comfortable position and support for both patient and
   therapist.
   • Fixation: Stabilize proximal and distal joints to isolate movement to the specific
   joint.
   • Support: Fully and comfortably support movable part maintain patient relaxation.
   • Traction: Thought to facilitate movement by reducing intra-articular friction.
   • ROM: Movement should be within painless limit to avoid muscle spasm.
   • Speed & Duration: Movements should be slow, rhythmic, and repeated at a
   suitable pace to promote relaxation.

   • Start with small arc of motion (20–30 degrees), increasing 10–15 degrees per
   day.
   • Rate of motion is about 1 cycle per 45 seconds to 2 minutes.
   • Duration typically 60 minutes, three times a day, totaling 6–8 hours post-op.
   • Controls include power, range of motion adjustment, speed,
   acceleration/deceleration, and pause time at end ranges.
   • Devices are mainly for knee, but also for shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, TMJ.
   • Patient instruction and device fitting are essential for effective use.


7. Explain Indications of Active Assisted ROM Exercises
   • Muscle weakness preventing full independent movement.
   • After trauma, neurological disease, or chronic pain.
   • Post-cast removal or following tendon/muscle transplantation.
   • Muscle re-education.
   • Insufficient muscle strength or control to complete full ROM.


8. Contraindications for Active Assisted ROM Exercises
   • After myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass surgery (only with careful
   monitoring).

   • When movement would threaten healing or be life-threatening.
   • Increased pain or inflammation with movement.


9. Define Active Assisted ROM Exercise & Explain Types of Assistance

   Active Assisted ROM exercises are movements where the patient voluntarily contracts
   muscles but cannot complete full range of motion without help. Assistance may come
   from the therapist, the patient’s other limb, or mechanical devices.
   Types of Assistance:
   • Manual: Therapist or self-assisted using the unaffected limb.
   • Mechanical: Devices like pulleys, slings, or wheels.


10. Define Stretching Exercise & Explain Terms Related to Mobility
    A. Definition : therapeutic maneuver designed to lengthen shortened soft tissue
    structures to increase ROM.
    B. terms related to mobility.
    • Flexibility: ability to move joint smoothly and easily through unrestricted, pain-
    free ROM.
    • Dynamic flexibility: type of flexibility, referred to active mobility, is degree to
    an active muscle contraction moves a body segment through available ROM of a
    joint.
    • Passive flexibility: type of flexibility,referred to passive mobility , degree to a
    joint can be passively moved through available ROM , it is dependent on
    extensibility of muscles and connective tissues that cross and surround a joint.
    • Hypomobility: Hypomobility refers to decreased mobility or restricted motion.
    • Contracture: Restricted motion can range from mild muscle shortening to
    irreversible contractures
    adaptive shortening of the muscle tendon and other soft tissues surrounding
    joint that results in resistance to passive or active stretch and limitation of ROM.
    • Contracture Versus Contraction: The terms contracture and contraction (the
    process of tension developing in a muscle during shortening or lengthening ) are
    not synonymous.
    • Types of Contracture: pathological changes in different types of soft tissues
    involved.
    • Myostatic (myogenic) Contracture:
    ✓ adaptive shortening musculotendinous unit with reduced (ROM)
    ✓ no specific muscle pathology present.
    ✓ may be reduction in sarcomeres in series,no change in sarcomere length
    ✓ These contractures resolved in a relatively short time with stretching
    exercises.
    • Pseudomyostatic Contracture:
    ✓ results from muscle hypertonicity (spasticity or rigidity) due to CNS
    lesions (e.g., stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury,cerebral
    vascular accident), Or muscle guarding/spasms Or pain.
    ✓ muscles remain in a constant state of contraction, giving rise to excessive
    resistance to passive stretch
    • Fibrotic Contracture and Irreversible Contracture:
    ✓ Fibrous changes in connective tissue of muscle and periarticular structures
    can cause adherence of these tissues and development of a fibrotic
    contracture.
    ✓ it is possible to stretch a fibrotic contracture and increase ROM
    ✓ it is often difficult to reestablish optimal tissue length.
    ✓ may result from prolonged immobilization in a shortened position or from
    tissue trauma followed by inflammation.
    ✓ longer a fibrotic contracture persists or greater normal tissue replacement
    with nonextensible adhesions and scar tissue or bone, the harder to restore
    optimal mobility and the more likely it is that contracture will become
    irreversible.
    • Mechanical Properties of Noncontractile Soft Tissue:
    ✓ permeates entire body
    ✓ organized into various types of connective tissue to support structures of the
    body.
    ✓ Tissue Connective tissue is composed of three types of fiber:
    ✓ collagen, elastin ( reticulin ) , non-fibrous ground substance
