Q

Isometric (Static or Setting) Exercise

A

Muscle contraction without moving the joint. Involves exerting pressure against a solid object and are useful for strengthening abdominal, gluteal, and quadricep muscles in ambulation, for maintaining stength in immobilized muslces in casts or traction & endurance training.

example : squeezing a towel or pillow between the knees while at the same time tightening the muscles in the fronts of the thighs by pressing the knees backwards. “guad sets”

Q

Benefit of Exercise : Cardiovascular

A

increases HR (walking 15-20 min), the strength of heart muscle contraction, and the blood supply to the heart and muscle through increased cardiac output. Decreases BP, improved oxygen uptake, and lower levels of stress

24
Q

Benefit of Exercise : Musculoskeletal

A

muscles (hypertrophy) enlarge, efficiency of muscular contraction increases, joint flexibility, ROM, reduces weakness, frailty, depression, and risk of falls in older adults. Bone density and strength is maintained

25
Q

Benefits of Exercise : Respiratory

A

Improves gas exchange, toxins are eliminated with deeper breathing, problem -solving and emotional stability are enhanced due to increased oxygen to the brain. Prevent pooling of secretions in the bronchi and bronchioles, decreased breathing effort and risk of infection. enhances oxygenation (stamina), circulation of lymph (improved immune system)

26
Q

Benefits of Exercise : Gastrointestinal

A

Improves appetite and increases GI tract tone, facilitating peristalsis. Working the abdominal muscles can relieve constipation. Abdominal compressive exercises improve irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive disorders

27
Q

Benefits of Exercise : Metabolic/Endocrine

A

increases metabolic (20x’s) rate thus increasing the production of body heat and waste products and calorie use, increases the use of fatty acids and triglycerides, resulting in a reduced level of serum triglycerides, A1C levels, and cholesterol. Weight loss and exercise control blood sugar and make cells more responsive to to insulin

28
Q

Benefits of Exercise : Urinary

A

promotes efficient blood flow, body excretes wastes more effectively. In addition, stasis (stagnation) of urine in the bladder is usually prevented, which in turn decreases the risk for urinary tract infections

29
Q

Benefits of Exercise : Immune

A

lymph fluid is efficiently pumped form tissues into lymph capillaries and vessels throughout the body due to respiratory and musculoskeletal effort increase. Circulation through lymph nodes where destruction of pathogens and removal of foreign antigens can occur is also improved. Improvements of T-cell function, and cytokine production, potentially increasing resistance to viral infections and preventing formation of malignant cells.

30
Q

Benefits of Exercise : Psychoneurologic

A

Elevates mood and relieves stress, and depression. Exercise increases levels of metabolites for nuerotransmitters such norepinephrine and serotonin, exercise releases endogenous opiods thus increasing levels of endorphins, exercise increases levels of oxygen to the brain and other body systems including euphoria and through muscular excretion

31
Q

Effects of Immobility : Musculoskeletal

A

Disuse Osteoporosis - bone demineralization due to diminished calcium, bones are spongy become fragile

  • Muscle atrophy
  • Contractures - limbs shorten due to immobility to shorten and lengthen muscle fibers, foot drop
  • Stiffness and pain in the joints - w/o movement collagen (connective) tissues at the joint become ankylosed (permanently immobile), bone demineralization causes excess calcium contributes to to stiffness and paint
32
Q

Effects of Immobiltiy : Cardiovascular

A
  • Diminished Cardiac Reserve - imbalance in the ANS, rapid heart rate reduces diastole pressure, coronary blood flow, and the capacity of the heart to respond to any metabolic demands above the basal levels. Tachy HR even w/ little exertion
  • Increase use of the Valsava maneuver - (holding breath and straining) against closed glottis. This builds up sufficient pressure on the large veins in the thorax and interferes w/ the return blood flow to the heart and coronary arteries.
  • Orthostatic hypotension
  • Venous vasodialation and stasis -
  • Dependent edema
  • Thrombus formation
33
Q

Effects of Immobility : Respiratory

A

Decreased respiratory movement -

  • Pooling of respiratory secretions - inactivity allows secretions to pool by gravity. Coughing up secretions may be hindered by loss of respiratory muscle tone, dehydration, or sedatives. Poor oxygenation and and retention of CO in the blood can cause respiratory aicdosis.
  • Atlelectasis -
  • Hypostatic Pneumonia - static respiratory secretions severely impaired by oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange in the aveoli
34
Q

Effects of Immobility : Metabolic

A
  • Decreased metabolic rate
  • Neg nitrogen balance - catabolic processes exceed anabolic processes. Catabolic muscle mass releases nitrogen after awhile the buildup is ingested more than what is needed. Represents a depletion of protein stores that are essential for building muscle tissue for wound healing
  • Neg calcium balance - excess amounts of calcium are extracted from the bone than can be replaced. Absence of weight bearing and stress are direct cause of calcium imbalance
35
Q

Effects of Immobility : Urinary

A
  • Urinary Stasis (slowed down urine flow) - impedes emptying of urine from the kidneys and bladder due to horizontal positioning
  • Renal Calculi - excessive calcium in urine, becomes more alkaline, and salts comes as crystals.
  • Urinary Retention - decreased muscle tone inhibits ability to void completely, stretched and distended bladder
  • Urinary infection - alkalinity of urine caused by hypercalcuria supports bacteria growth
36
Q

Effects of Immobility : GI

A

Constipation due to decreased peristalsis and colon motility, skeletal muscles weaken

37
Q

Effects of Immobility : Integumentary

A
  • Reduced Skin Turgor - atrophy due to prolonged immobility, shifts in fluid between the dermis and subcutaneous tissues in dependent parts of the body
  • Skin breakdown - impedes circulation and diminishes the supply of nutrients to specific areas
38
Q

Effects of Immobility : Psychoneurologic

A
  • Negative effects on mood due to the decline of endorphins, dependence on others, low self-esteem,perception of time intervals change, problem solving skills and decision making abilities deteriorate
39
Q

Prevention of Back Injury

A

client positioning, lifting, & transferring are risk for back injuries, 35 lb max weight limit, avoid twisting of the thoracolumbar spine & acute flexion of the back w/ hips and knees straight (stooping)

40
Q

Fowler’s Position

A

head and trunk raised to a 45-60 degree angle

41
Q

Semi Fowler’s Position

A

head and trunk raised to a 15-45 degree angle

42
Q

High Fowler’s Position

A

head and trunk raised to a 60-90 degree angle

43
Q

Orthopenic Position

A

sitting in bed with beside table over the lap. Facilitates respiration by allowing max chest expansion

44
Q

Dorsal Recumbent Position

A

back-lying, shoulders on small pillow

45
Q

Prone Position

A

lying on abdomen with head turned to one side, hips not flexed, only bed position that allows full extension of the hip and knee joints

46
Q

Lateral Position

A

lying on one side of the body flexing the top hip and knee and placing this leg in front of the body creates a wider triangular base of support and achieves greater stability.

47
Q

Sim’s (semiprone) Position

A

posture halfway between lateral and prone positions. lower arm is positioned behind client and upper arm is flexed at the shoulder and the elbow. both legs are flexed in front of the client.

48
Q

Active ROM Exercises

A

isotonic exercises in which the client moves each joint in the body through it’s entirety (upper and lower extremities)

49
Q

Passive ROM Exercises

A

another person moves each of the clients joints through its entirety

50
Q

Crutches

A

Most common used crutches : underarm or axillary w/ hand bars, and the Lofstrand crutch which extends only to the forearm.

51
Q

Four- Point Alternate Gait

A

Most safest gait, that provides at least three points of support at all times, but requires coordination. Bear weight on both legs

1) Move the right crutch ahead 10-15cm (4-6in)
2) Move the left front foot forward to the level of the left crutch
3) Move the left crutch forward
4) Move the right foot forward

52
Q

Three-Point Gait

A

Bear entire body weight on the unaffected leg. The two crutches and the unaffected leg bear weight alternately

1) Move both crutches and the weaker leg forward
2) Move the stronger leg forward

53
Q

Two-Point Alternate Gait

A

Faster than the four point gait. Requires more balance because only two points support the body at one time; partial weight bearing on each foot

1) Move the left crutch and the right foot forward together
2) Move the right crutch and left foot ahead together

54
Q

Swing to Gait

A

Paralysis of the of the legs and hips

1) Move both crutches ahead together
2) lift body weight by the arms and swing to the crutches

55
Q

Swing Through Gait

A

Requires skill, coordination, and strength

1) Move both crutches forward together
2) Lift body weight by the arms and swing through and beyond the crutch.
