Question

question 7 (2.5 points)
listen
when the patient allows the doctor to move their head into a position outside of neutral without muscular activation by the patient this is called:
a) passive range of motion
b) musculoskeletal facilitation
c) active range of motion
d) isometric motion

Explanation:

• Passive Range of Motion (PROM): In PROM, the patient's muscles are relaxed, and an external force (like from a doctor) moves the joint. This matches the description in the question where the doctor moves the patient's head without the patient's muscular activation.
• Musculoskeletal facilitation: This term is more about techniques to enhance muscle - bone function rather than the described motion scenario.
• Active Range of Motion (AROM): Here, the patient actively contracts their muscles to move the joint, which is the opposite of what is stated (no muscular activation by the patient).
• Isometric Motion: In isometric exercises, the muscle contracts but there is no joint movement (static contraction), which is not relevant to the described joint - movement situation.

Answer:

A. Passive Range of Motion
