Lecture 2: Exercise Basics Flashcards
- Objective 6: Define therapeutic exercise in the context of physical therapy care and services
- Objective 11: Identify the appropriate guidelines for determining the intensity, duration and frequency of an exercise program
- Objective 1: Describe the role of the PTA in data collection and management of the orthopedic patient
FYI
- Objective 19: Recognize and monitor vital sign responses to positional changes and activities
- Continued practice on anthropometric measurements
Objective 21: Measure height, weight, length and girth
- Please donn shorts for lab
FYI
To develop and implement an effective exercise intervention, a therapist must understand several things.
The relationship between physical function and disability and appreciate how the application of the process of disablement to patient/client management facilitates the provision of effective and efficient health care services.
what are some impairments of musculoskeletal?
pg 8 kc box 1.3
- pain
- muscle weakness/ reduced torque production
- decreased musular endurance
- limited ROM
- restriction of the joint capsule
- restriction o periarticular connective tissue
- decreased muscle length
- joint hpermobility
- faulty posture
- muscle length/ strength imbalance
What are some impairments of neuromuscular?
pg 8 kc box 1.3
- Pain
- imparied balance, postural stability, or control
- incoordination, faulty timing
- delayed motor development
- abnormal tone (hypertonia, hypotonia, dystonia)
- ineffective/ inefficient functional movement strategies
what are some impairments of cardiovascular/pulmonary?
pg 8 kc box 1.3
- Decreased aerobic capacity (cardiopulmonary endurance)
- impaired circulation (lymphatic, venous, arterial)
- pain with sustained physical activity (intermittent claudication)
what are some impariments of the integumentary?
pg 8 kc box 1.3
skin hypomobility (e.g., immobile or adherent scarring)
What are some common activity limitations and Functional limitations related to physical tasks?
pg 10 K&C box 1.4
- reacing and grasping
- lifting, lowering, and carrying
- pushing and pulling
- bending, stooping
- turning, twistin
- throwing catching
- rolling
- sitting or standing tolerance
- squatting and kneeling
- standing up and sittind down(from and to a chair the floor)
- getting in and out of bed
- moving around (crawling, walking, running) inv various environments asceding a descending staris
- hopping and jumping
- kicking or swinging an object
What are some areas of functioning associated with participation restrictions and disability?
pg 11 K/C box 1.5
- self-care
- mobility in the community
- occupational tasks
- school-related tasks
- home management (indoor and outdoor)
- caring for dependents
- recreational and leisure activities
- socialzing with friends/family
- community responsibilities and service
The Guide uses the concept of disablement as what?
a framework for organizing and prioritizing clinical decisions made during the continuum of PT care and services
What are the 5 Components of Patient/Client Management?
- exam
- eval
- dx
- px
- intervention
What are the components of physical function?
- balance
- cardiopulmonary fitness
- coordination
- flexibility
- mobility
- muscle performance
- neuromuscular control
- postural control, postural stability, equilibrium
- stability
The ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move the body (center of mass) within the available BOS without falling; the abiltiy to move the body in equilibrium with gravity via interaction of the sensory and motor systems
Balance
the ability to perform moderate-intensity, repetitive, total body movements (walking, joffing, cycling, swimming) over an extended period of time.
Cardiopulmonary fitness or also called cardiopulmonary endurance
The correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with the appropriate intensity of muscular contraction leading to the effective initiation, guiding, and grading of movement. It is the basis of smooth, accurate, efficient movement and occurs at a conscious or atomatic level
Coordination
