1.1 Introduction To Therapeutic Interventions Flashcards
What is any bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that result in a substantial increase in caloric requirements over resting energy expenditure
Physical Activity
What is any planned and structured physical activity designed to improve or maintain physical fitness
Exercise
What is general term used to describe the ability to perform physical work which requires cardiorespiratory functioning, muscular strength and endurance, and musculoskeletal flexibility
Physical fitness
What is systematic planned performance of physical movements, postures, activities intended to provide a pt with means to:
- remediate or prevent impairments of body functions and structures
- improve, restore, or enhance activities & participation
- prevent or reduce health-related risk factors
- optimize overall health, fitness, or sense of well-being
Therapeutic Exercise
What is capacity of muscle to produce tension & do physical work; encompasses strength, power, & muscular endurance
Muscle Performance
What is ability to perform moderate-intensity, repetitive, total body movements over an extended period of time
Cardiopulmonary exercise
What is ability of structures or segments of the body to move or be moved to achieve the range of motion (ROM) needed for functional activities (functional ROM); passive mobility is dependent on soft tissue (contractile & non-contractile) extensibility; active mobility requires neuromuscular activation
Mobility
What is ability to move freely without restriction; used interchangeably with mobility
Flexibility
What is interaction of sensory & motor systems that enables synergists, agonists, as well as stabilizers & neutralizers, to anticipate or respond to proprioceptive & kinesthetic information & to work in correct sequence & magnitude to create coordinated movement
Neuromuscular Control
What is correct timing & sequencing of muscle firing combined with the appropriate intensity of muscular contraction leading to the effective initiation, guiding, & grading of movement; bases of smooth, accurate, efficient movement & occurs at a conscious or automatic level
Coordination
What is ability of neuromuscular system through synergistic muscle action to hold a proximal or distal body segment in a stationary position or to control a stable base during superimposed movement
Stability
What is ability to align the body segments against gravity to maintain or move the body within the available base of support without falling; ability to move the body in equilibrium with gravity via interaction of the sensory & motor systems
Balance
What are the 3 aspects of exercise dosage
- intensity
- frequency
- duration
Define intensity
resistance applied
Define frequency
number of repetitions
