Range of Motion is the second window in the exam progression. This training shows how to enter range of motion information.
The window is divided into three reporting sections: Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar. Those panels are further divided into sections:
- LOM: Loss of Motion, which holds Severe, Moderate, Mild and WNL (Within Normal Limits) severities
- Pain: Pain includes Severe, Moderate, Mild and None severities
- Deg: Enter a measurement of degrees by typing it in the box. The total range is shown in the next column, for example, /90
- Note icon: Click the Note icon and enter details that appear on the document
- Clear: Use the Clear button at the end of a row to remove all of the information in that row.
In the window above, Cervical and Lumbar are expanded. Thoracic is collapsed in the center, but can be expanded by clicking the + icon. If you enter data in the Thoracic section, it stays expanded when you come back to the Range of Motion window here, or in the Daily Visit
The top of the window includes shortcut options
Import From Previous Test - Click to see all Previous Test and select one to Import
Severity Selector: When documenting multiple findings of one severity, choose it at the top and each box that is clicked in the panels will show that severity. Click each box individually to cycle through the severity options if one differs, or if you want to mark them separately.
Click Clear All to Clear the Severity and Degrees
Each panel is divided into three sections: Active, Passive, and Resisted. Click the All Active WNL, All Passive Normal, or All Resisted Normal links to set all of the boxes to normal, as shown below. Clicking on any one of the boxes cycles it through to the other severities.
Fill in the Deg. field with degrees then click enter and will drop down to the next degree box
Entering the degree value automatically updates the LOM box and is the fastest way to record range of motion values. If you enter degrees, you don't need to update the LOM boxes with severities. Update the Pain severities according to the patient's level of pain
