Activity And Exercise Flashcards
Center of gravity
The point at which all of the body’s mass is centered
Antigravity muscles
Extensor muscles
Cochlea
Hearing
Vestibule and semicircular canals
Equilibrium
Proprioception
Awareness of posture
Flexion
Decreasing the angle of the joint
Extension
Increasing the angle of the joint
Hyperextention
Further extension or straightening of a joint
Abduction
Movement of the bone away from midline of body
Adduction
Movement of the bone toward the midline of the body
Circumduction
Movement of the distal part of the bone in a circle while the proximal end remains fixed
Eversion
Turning the sole of the foot outward by moving the ankle joint
Inversion
Turning the sole of the foot inward by moving the ankle joint
Pronation
Palm of hand faces downward when held in front of body
Supination
Palm upward when held in front of body
Balance is controlled by
Cerebral cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia
Cerebellum
Coordinates movement
Cerebral cortex
Operates movements, not muscles
Basal ganglia
Maintain posture
Isotonic exercises
The muscle shortens to produce muscle contraction and active movement
Isometric exercises
Muscle contraction occurs without moving the joint (muscle length does not change)
Isokinetic exercises
Muscle contraction or tension against resistance
Aerobic exercise
Oxygen taken into body is greater than that used to preform the activity
Talk test
When exercising, person should be labored breathing and talking
Borg scale of preceived exertion
How difficult the exercise feels in terms of heart and lung exertion
Anaerobic exercise
Activity in which the muscles cannot draw enough oxygen from bloodstream. Additional energy needed
Relaxation response
Recitation of word or phrase or prayer while sitting quietly and relaxing your muscles
Spastic
Too much muscle tone
Flaccid
Without muscle tone
Disuse osteoporosis
Without weigh bearing activity, bone demineralize
Disuse atrophy
Decrease in size
Contractures
Permanent shortening of the muscle
Foot drop
Stronger muscle dominates weaker, plantar flexion
Ankylosed
Permanently immobile
Diminished cardiac reserve
Sympathetic activity tries to keep basal metabolic rate up, but also increases heart rate
Valsalva maneuver
Client used to move (holds breath) then opens, may cause arrhythmia
Orthostatic hypotension
Vasoconstriction reflex becomes dormant during prolonged immobility
Dependent edema
Venous blood is so great, it forces fluid into the interstitial spaces
Thrombophlebitis
Clot that is loosely attached to an inflamed vein wall
Embolus
Object that has moved from its place of origin
Atelectasis
The collapse of a lone or of an entire lung
Anabolism
Protein synthesis
Catabolism
Protein breakdown
Urinary stasis
Stoppage or slowdown of flow
Urinary reflux
Backward flow
Lordosis
Exaggerated anterior/inward curvature of the lumbar spine
Normal walking pace
70-100 steps per minute
40 for older people
Crepitation
Palpable or audible crackling or grating sensation produced by joint motion and frequently experienced in joints with repeated Trauma
Activity intolerance
Insufficient physiological or psychological energy to endure or complete required or desired daily activities
Activity intolerance level 1
Walks regular pace on level ground. Short of breath on inclines
Activity intolerance level 2
Walks 500 feet on level ground or climbs o e flight of stairs slowly without stopping
Activity intolerance level 3
Walks no more than 50 feet on level ground without stopping. Also stops on Stairs
Activity intolerance level 4
Dyspena and fatigue at rest
Fowlers position
Semi sitting position 45 to 60 degrees
Semi fowlers position
Head raised to 15 or 45 degrees
High fowlers position
60 to 90 degrees
Orthopneic position
Client sits either in bed or on the side of the bed with an over bed table across the lap
Dorsal recumbent position
Client laying down with a pillow under head (supine)
Prone position
Client on abdomen with head to one side
Lateral position
Client lies on one side of the body. Flexing top hip and knee and leg in front
Sims position
Halfway between prone and lateral position
Active ROM exercises
Isotonic exercises when the client moves each joint in the body
Passive ROM exercises
Another person moves each of the clients joints
Tripod position
Proper standing position with crutches
Line of gravity
Imaginary vertical line drawn through the body’s center of gravity
