What is the range of motion (ROM) for shoulder abduction in a healthy individual?
The range of motion for shoulder abduction in a healthy individual is typically between 0 to 180 degrees.
Why would weakness of ligaments lead to a greater range of motion at a joint?
there is a defect in the collagen tissue which allows for more ROM. if the collagen was not defective it would be more elastic and not allow a greater ROM range of movement
What is the amount of movement you can make at a joint?
The amount of movement you can make at a joint is determined by the structure of the joint itself, as well as the surrounding muscles and ligaments. Different joints have different ranges of motion, such as hinge joints like the elbow having primarily flexion and extension movement, while ball-and-socket joints like the hip have a wider range of motion including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.
What are the ranges of motion of the lumbar spine?
The full possible Range Of Motion in the spine from fully extended to fully flexed is 250o (140o extension and 110o flexion) - however the only way to get full 140o extension is flip over backwards so your stomach is facing upwards and your hands and feet are both on the floor (make sense?), however the lumber spine only accounts for 95o of this motion (35o extension and 60o extension). The full possible lateral ROM the spine is 75o each way, however the lumber spine only accounts 20o of this.
What do you mean by locomotor disability?
An impairment in any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological or anatomical structure or function in a human being. Impairment may cause functional limitations which are partial or total inability to perform those activities, necessary for motor, sensory or mental function within the range or manner of which a human being is normally capable. A disability is any restriction or lack ( resulting from an impairment ) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being. Locomotor disability is defined as a person's inability to execute distinctive activities associated with moving both himself and objects, from place to place and such inability resulting from affliction of musculoskeletal and/or nervous system. * Guidelines for Evaluation of Permanent Physical Impairment of Upper Limb * Guidelines for Evaluation of permanent physical Impairment in Lower Limb * Guidelines for Evaluation of Permanent Physical Impairment of Trunk (Spine) * Guidelines for Evaluation of PPI in cases of Short Stature/Dwarfism * Guidelines for Evaluation of Permanent Physical Impairment in Amputees * Guidelines for Evaluation of Permanent Physical Impairment of Congenital deficiencies of the limbs # The estimation of permanent impairment depends upon the measurement of functional impairment and is not expression of a personal opinion. # The estimation and measurement should be made when the clinical condition has reached the stage of maximum improvement from the medical treatment. Normally the time period is to be decided by the medical doctor who is evaluating the case for issuing the PPI Certificate as per standard format of the certificate. # The upper limb is divided into two component parts; the arm component and the hand component. # Measurement of the loss of function of arm component consists of measuring the loss of motion, muscle strength and co-ordinated activities. # Measurement of loss of function of hand component consists of determining the prehension, sensation and strength. For estimation of prehension opposition, lateral pinch cylindrical grasp, spherical grasp and hook grasp have to be assessed as shown in Hand Component of Form A Assessment Proforma for upper extremity. # The impairment of the entire extremity depends on the combination of the functional impairments of both components.

The loss of ROM should be calculated in each arc of motion as envisaged in the Assessment Form A.|+ Assessment Performa for Upper Extremity ! Arc of ROM ! Normal value ! Active ROM ! Loss of ROM | Shoulder Flexion- 0-220 110 50% Rotation 0-180 90 50% Abduction-Adduction 0-180 90 50%Hence the mean loss of ROM of shoulder will be:50+50+50/3 = 150/3=50% Shoulder movements constitute 30% of the motion of the arm component therefore the loss of motion for arm component will be 50 x 0.30 = 15%. If more than one joint of the arm is involved the loss of percentage in each joint is calculated separately as above and then added together. Summary value for upper extremity is calculated from component and hand component values # Strength of muscles can be tested by manual method and graded from 0-5 as advocated by Medical Research Council of Great Britain depending upon the strength of the muscles.# Loss of muscle power can be given percentages as follows: |+ Loss of Muscle Power ! Manual muscle Strength grading ! Loss of strength in percentage | 0 100% 1 80% 2 60% 3 40% 4 20% 5 0%The mean percentage of loss of muscle strength around a joint is multiplied by 0.30.If loss of muscle strength involves more than one joint the mean loss of percentage in each joint is calculated separately and then added together as has been described for loss of motion. # The total value for coordinated activities is 90% # Ten different coordinated activities should be tested as given in the ASSESSMENT PFROFORMA FOR UPPER EXTERMITY # Each activity has a value of 9% The total value of loss of function of arm componet is obtained by combining the value of loss of ROM, muscle strength and coordinated activities, using the combing formula. [A+B(90-A)/90]where,a = higher valueb = lower value Let us assume that an individual with an intra articular fracture of bones of shoulder joint in addition to 16.5% loss of motion in arm has 8.3% loss of strength of muscles and 5% loss of coordination. These values should be combined as follows: Loss of ROM - 16.5%16.5+8.3(90-16.5)90 Loss of strength of muscles - 8.3%=23.33% To add Loss of coordination - 5%23.3+5(90-23.3)=27.0%90 So the total value of loss of function in Arm component will be 27.0% # Total value of hand component is 90%. # The functional impairment of hand is expressed as loss of prehension, loss of sensation and loss of strength.Total value of prehension is 30%. It includes; # Opposition - 8%Tested against#* Index finger - 2%#* Middle finger -2 %#* Ring- 2 %#* Little finger- 2% # Lateral pinch -5% - Tested by asking the patient to hold key between the thumb and lateral side of index finger.# Cylindrical grasp - 6% Tested for ## Large object of 4 inches size -3% ## Small object of 1 inch size - 3% # Spherical grasp -6% Tested for ## Large object of 4 inches size - 3% ## Small object of 1 inch size - 3% # Hook grasp - 5% -Tested by asking the patient to lift a bag # Total value of sensation in hand is 30% # It should be assessed according to the distribution given below: Complete loss of sensation * Thumb ray-9% * Index finger-6% * Middle finger-5% * Ring finger-5% * Little finger-5% Partial loss of sensation: Assessment should be made according to percentage of loss of sensation in thumb/finger(s) # Total value of strength is 30% # It includes: ## Grip strength-20% ## Pinch strength-10% Strength of hand should be tested with hand dynamo-meter or by clinical method (grip method).Additional weightage - A total of 10% additional weightage can be given to following accompanying factors if they are continuous and persistent despite treatment. # Pain # Infection # Deformity # Mal-alignment # Contractures # Cosmetic disfiguration # Dominant extremity -4% # Shortening of upper limb First 1" - No weightageFor each 1" beyond first 1" -2% The extra points should not exceed 10% of the total Arm Component and total PPI should not exceed 100% in any case The final value of loss of function of hand component is obtained by summing up values of loss of prehension, sensation and strength.

What is The range of motion around specific joints is?
The range of motion (ROM) around specific joints refers to the extent to which a joint can move in various directions, typically measured in degrees. It varies by joint type; for example, the shoulder joint has a greater ROM than the knee joint. Factors influencing ROM include joint structure, surrounding muscles and ligaments, age, and activity level. Maintaining flexibility and strength through regular exercise can help preserve or improve the range of motion in joints.

What does ROM of your joints mean?
ROM is the shorthand way of saying Range of Motion. ROM usually means the movement one has in a joint, and is observed by moving the joint through the extremes of movement possible without causing pain. Massage and physical therapy, as well as some chiropractic procedures, can improve the range and strength of a joint.
