Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Circumduction is movement in a circle while the proximal end remains fixed. The two joints that are circumducted are the shoulder and the hip. The foot and neck cannot make a complete circle, whereas the knee does not rotate in that manner.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The client is using one arm to assist the other arm through range of motion, so it is active-assistive range of motion. If the client performed range of motion in each extremity without assistance, it would be active range of motion. Passive range of motion is defined as motion performed by another without the client's intervention, whether continuous or intermittent.
