Tanya, Voluntary does not mean willfull. If you view the Rt pick up a spoon, for instance, that is voluntary. They may be able to perform a movement but not process the information you are giving. Not voluntary means more like the muscle/ nerves don't work.
-----Original Message----- From: Tanya Jordan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 12:56 PM To: List Server Subject: Voluntary Movement I have read and re-read the manual on this question posed to me by one of the nurses and I still dont have a clear understanding to explain it to her. How do we document voluntary movement if the resident will not follow directions and you are doing passive ROM? My answer would be observation of the resident performing ADLs at other times. help!
