Assessment and Prevention of Immobility Complications
Assessment and Prevention of Immobility Complications ( 5 Questions)
Which assessment finding indicates a potential musculoskeletal complication of immobility?
Increased muscle tone is not typically associated with immobility and can be a manifestation of other conditions such as spasticity.
Active range of motion (ROM) suggests preserved joint mobility, which is not indicative of musculoskeletal complications of immobility.
Contractures, which are permanent shortening of muscles and tendons, can occur as a musculoskeletal complication of immobility. Contractures limit joint mobility and flexibility.
Strong and flexible joints are not commonly observed in individuals experiencing immobility-related musculoskeletal complications.
