Q

What is Spongy/Trabecular/Cancellous bone

A

It is one of the two types of bone tissue found in the body. It is very porous and contains red bone marrow, where blood cells are made. It is weaker and easier to fracture than cortical bone.

Q

What is a fragility fracture

A

any fall from a standing height or less that results in a fracture

24
Q

What are the 7 principles for maximizing the influence of exercise on bone?

A
  1. Bone adapts best to dynamic rather than static mechanical stimulation
  2. If a bone is to respond to training, the stimulus must be at a suprathreshold level
  3. The response of bone to exercise is improved by brief but intermittent exercise
  4. Bone responds best when the exercise employs a pattern that differs from the usual loading pattern
  5. The response that any bone has to a mechanical stimulus such as exercise is proportional to the loading cycle
  6. For bone to adapt, it must have sufficient energy to rebuild itself
  7. For exercise to work there should be abundant calcium and vitamin d availability
25
Q

A

The message that tells bone to grow in response to mechanical loading is most likely fluid flow through the canalicular channels and around the bone trabeculae

26
Q

28
Q

A
  • yes
  • yes
  • greater than 75% on 10 RM
29
Q
  1. The response of bone to exercise is improved by brief but intermittent exercise

Dividing the total volume of work performed/week across 5 days has a greater __________ effect than doing the same volume of work in fewer days

Short intense exercise bouts build bone more __________ than longer sessions do. The goal is to reduce exercise time, it is better to shorten each exercise session than to reduce the number of sessions performed

A

Dividing the total volume of work performed/week across 5 days has a greater osteogenic effect than doing the same volume of work in fewer days

Short intense exercise bouts build bone more effectively than longer sessions do. The goal is to reduce exercise time, it is better to shorten each exercise session than to reduce the number of sessions performed

30
Q

What are the goals, contraction and variations of the box drill

A

Goal: Balance training in ADL situations

Contractions: dynamic (concentric and eccentric)

Variations: directions in which the force is applied. you can control the intensity by changing the distance between the books, making them higher or lower, changing their size or weight

31
Q

What are the goals, contraction, variation of the ladder drill

A

Goal: agility training

Contractions: Dynamic (concentric and eccentric)

Variations: Intensity (walking vs jumping and patterns of movement)

32
Q
  1. The response that any bone has to a mechanical stimulus such as exercise is proportional to the loading cycle i.e how frequently the stimulus is applied

Is there a limit in the number of repetitions?

Based in the scientific literature, the number of loading cycles appears to have a positive effect up to approximately ______ cycles per day, after that adding more cycles has little or no additional effect

A

Yes there is a limit

40 cycles

As the number of cycles increases up to 40, there is a positive relationship btw # of cycles and bone density

33
Q
  1. For bone to adapt, it must have sufficient energy to rebuild itself

Development of new bone = ______?

What are the 2 major dietary problems that OA may face?

A

-Development of bone = metabolic process requiring energy

    1. Low energy intake (especially low protein)
    1. Low calcium intake
34
Q

What is the relationship between calcium and exercise on BMD in post-menopausal women?

A

There is only a positive change in BMD with the combination of exercise and Calcium

35
Q
  1. For exercise to work there should be abundant calcium and vitamin d availability

What is the major role of calcium and vitamin d?

A
  • Calcium: major raw material used to build bone, along with phosphate and magnesium. these raw materials need to be delivered from the digestive system to the building sites in the bones
  • Vitamin D: Facilitates the absorption of calcium, phosphate and magnesium ions through the intestinal wall and into the blood stream
36
Q

According to the ACSM guidelines for PRESERVING health in adult hood what is the mode, intensity, frequency and duration?

A

Mode: weight bearing endurance activities (jogging) activities that involve jumping and resistance exercise

Intensity: mod to high

Frequency: weight bearing endurance activities 3-5 times per week resistance training 2-3 times per week

Duration: 30-60 min of a combo of weight bearing endurance (jumping and resistance) that targets all major muscle groups

37
Q

According to the ACSM guidelines for ELDERLY women and men DIAGNOSED w OSTEOPOROSIS what are the recommendations

A
  • 1-3 sets with 5-8 reps of 4-6 weight bearing lower body strength exercises using BODY WEIGHT as resistance
  • activities performed 2-3 days/week
  • additional resistance may be applied gradually and conservatively with weighted vest
  • Theraband and rubber tubing may be used to facilitate range of motion exercises
  • avoid impact exercises, spinal flexion, extension, high compression and quick rotation
38
Q

Are compression fractures likely to cause nerve or spinal cord damage in OA with osteoporosis? why?

A

For most fractures damages are limited to the front of the vertebral column so they are rarely associated with spinal cord damage
