Answer 0

B: mobility
P: self-image
S: support network

Question 1

What is the biopsychosocial model?

Answer 1

A medical model that has shifted to a bio-social model along with many other areas of health, care including PT
-bio-is pathoanatomical and pathophysiological changes that effect function
-psy-thought patterns and behaviors of the individual
soci- the behaviors and interactions of the individual within a group of individuals

Question 2

Define homeostasis

Answer 2

a balance of interdependent functions in a system

-too much or too little

Question 3

what is a pathology?

Answer 3

a disruption in homeostasis

Question 4

what are examples of external pathologies?

Answer 4

• microorganisms (virus, bacteria, pirons)
• toxins (lead, radiation, mercury)
• physical stressors (repetitce motions, direct trauma, climate, lack of appropriate stress)

Question 5

What are internal pathologies

Answer 5

• genetics: downs syndrome, klinefeliter’s (xxy), ehlers-Danlos syndrome (affects the connective tissue)
• Autoimmune: Rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes melitus, Gullian-barre syndrome ( demeylinates the PNS)

Question 6

What are examples of pathoanatomy? and define it?

Answer 6

• structural change that causes problems with normal function
• torn ACL, fractured tibia, kidney stones,
  note: not all abnormal structural changes are pathological (i.e. cervical rib, lumbarization of sacral vertebrae

Question 7

how do you diagnose and treat pathoanatomy?

Answer 7

• diagnosed with imaging of some type (MRI, CAT radiographs)
• often treated medically with “physical” intervention (surgery, casing, extracorporeal shock waves-used for kidney stones)

Question 8

Define pathophysiology and what are examples of it?

Answer 8

• physiological change that causes problem with normal function
• hyperthyroidism, hepatitis
• NOTE: not all abnormal changes are pathological (i.e. elevated hemoglobin in runners, increased bone mass c WB exercise)

Question 9

how are pathophysiology diagnosed and how are they treated?

Answer 9

• Dx c clinical laboratory tests (CBC, Thyroxine)

- Tx medically c chemical intervention (medication, radiation, dialysis)

Question 10

just some info about pathology

Answer 10

-pathoanatomical and pathophysiology changes often are found together

Question 11

what are the effects of too little stress on the skeleton?

Answer 11

decreased mass = osteoperosis/osteopenia

• decreased of joint mobility
• more susceptible to fractures

Question 12

what are the effects of too much stress on the skeleton?

Answer 12

• stress fracture
• repetitive strain/stress injures
• loss of bone mass because the breakdown of bone because of excess stress and the bone can’t repair fast enough

Question 13

what does too much thyroid hormone look like? also what is it called

Answer 13

• hyperthyroidism/Grave’s disease
• elevated metabolism (often nervous appearance)
• poor temperature control (sensitive to warmer temperatures)
• fast pulse
• anxiety

Question 14

what does too little thyroid hormone look like and what is it also called?

Answer 14

• hypothyroidism
• decreased metabolism (overweight)
• poor temperature control (doesn’t tolerate conder temps)
• slow pulse
• depression
