PERTEMUAN 16C - VIDEO PRAKTEK KEPERAWATAN (LATIHAN RANGE OF MOTION - ROM)

Summary

In this video, Hilda from Timescape demonstrates a practical guide to Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, focusing on the importance of maintaining joint flexibility and improving muscle tone. The video explains the seven key benefits of ROM, such as preventing joint stiffness and enhancing circulation. Hilda provides step-by-step instructions for various ROM movements, including flexion, extension, and rotation for the head, arms, legs, and wrists. She emphasizes the significance of monitoring patient responses during each movement, ensuring proper technique, and achieving optimal results for joint and muscle health.

Takeaways

• 😀 ROM (Range of Motion) exercises help maintain joint mobility and improve muscle mass and tone.
• 😀 ROM exercises can prevent joint stiffness, improve heart and respiratory function, and enhance blood circulation.
• 😀 There are seven main benefits of ROM exercises, including improving muscle tone and increasing joint mobility.
• 😀 Proper hand hygiene is essential before performing ROM exercises on a patient.
• 😀 Always verify patient identity before starting ROM exercises to ensure safety and compliance with healthcare standards.
• 😀 ROM exercises for the neck include flexion, extension, hyperextension, lateral flexion, and rotation to maintain flexibility.
• 😀 Shoulder ROM exercises involve abduction (moving away from the body) and adduction (moving toward the body).
• 😀 Arm ROM includes flexion (bending the elbow towards the shoulder) and extension (straightening the elbow).
• 😀 ROM exercises for the wrist include pronation (turning palm down) and supination (turning palm up), along with flexion and extension.
• 😀 Lower body ROM exercises include abduction and adduction for the legs, as well as flexion and extension for the knees and ankles.

Q & A

What is the purpose of Range of Motion (ROM) exercises?

The primary purpose of ROM exercises is to maintain joint mobility, increase muscle mass and tone, prevent joint stiffness, and improve overall cardiovascular and respiratory function. These exercises also promote blood circulation, improve muscle tone, and enhance joint mobilization.

Why is it important to perform ROM exercises with patients?

ROM exercises are essential for preventing joint stiffness, enhancing blood flow, and improving overall joint and muscle function. They also help patients tolerate exercise better and support cardiovascular and respiratory health.

What safety measures should be followed before performing ROM exercises on a patient?

Before performing ROM exercises, it’s important to wash hands for hygiene. Additionally, it’s essential to verify the patient’s identity and ensure their comfort with the planned exercises.

How many times should each ROM movement be performed?

Each ROM movement should be performed 8-10 times, depending on the patient’s condition. It’s important to monitor the patient's response during the exercises.

What are the five ROM movements for the head and neck?

The five ROM movements for the head and neck include: flexion, extension, hyperextension, lateral flexion, and rotation.

What is the difference between flexion and extension of the neck?

Flexion of the neck involves bending the head forward toward the chest, while extension involves tilting the head backward. Hyperextension is a more extreme version of extension, where the head is tilted further back.

What is the purpose of lateral flexion of the neck?

Lateral flexion of the neck involves tilting the head sideways, either to the left or right, which helps improve flexibility and mobility in the neck muscles and joints.

How is the ROM exercise for shoulder abduction performed?

For shoulder abduction, the patient is instructed to raise their arm away from the body, moving it outward and upward. This movement increases the distance between the arm and the body’s midline.

What is the difference between flexion and extension of the elbow?

Elbow flexion involves bending the elbow so that the forearm moves toward the upper arm, while extension involves straightening the arm back to its original position.

How do ROM exercises help improve circulation and muscle tone?

ROM exercises enhance circulation by stimulating blood flow to various parts of the body, while also promoting muscle activity that helps tone and strengthen muscles over time.

What are some key exercises for improving ankle joint flexibility?

Key ankle exercises include dorsiflexion (lifting the foot upward) and plantarflexion (pointing the foot downward). These movements help improve the flexibility and mobility of the ankle joint.

How can ROM exercises help with joint pain management?

ROM exercises can help reduce joint pain by improving flexibility, reducing stiffness, and promoting circulation. They allow the joint to move through its full range, which can alleviate discomfort and improve overall function.
