Q

involves a loss of articular cartilage in the joint, with pain and stiffness as the primary symptoms. Patients may also have decreased ROM and crepitus, a creaking or grating sound, with joint motion. Symptoms are aggravated by weight-bearing and joint use and are relieved by resting the affected joints.

A

Osteoarthritis (OA

19
Q

is a systemic autoimmune disease involving chronic inflammation of the joints and surrounding connective tissue, frequently resulting in difficulty in performing ADLs

A

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

20
Q

is performed with specialized apparatuses that provide variable resistance to movement. combines the best features of both isometrics and weight training by providing resistance at a constant, preset speed while the muscle moves through the full ROM - machines at weight clubs

A

Isokinetic

21
Q

is the most prevalent type of degenerative joint.

A

Osteoarthritis (OA)

22
Q

is the safe use of thebodyusing the correct posture, bodily alignment, balance and bodily movements to safely bend, carry, lift and move objects and people.

A

Body mechanics

23
Q

Joint disease that does not improve with rest and is most intense when arising from bed

A

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

24
Q

Lie on back with head and shoulders on a small pillow

A

Supine or dorsal recumbent

25
Q 
Lower arm is positioned behind the patient and the upper arm is flexed
Upper leg flexed more than lower
Facilitates drainage from the mouth
Limits pressure on trochanter and sacrum
Good position for enemas
A

Sim’s position

26
Q

Make up nearly half the weight of the body

A

Muscles

27
Q

maximum movement possible at a joint

A

ROM (Range of motion)

28
Q

Most importantintervention to protect a patient’s skin and prevent complications of mobility

A

Turning in bed

29
Q

Movement of the joint performed by the individual without assistance

A

AROM (Active range of motion)

30
Q

Movement of the joints through their ROM when patient is unable to do it for themselves - uses another person

A

PROM (Passive range of motion)

31
Q

occurs when the amount of oxygen taken into the body does not meet the amount of oxygen required to perform the activity. Therefore, the muscles must obtain energy from metabolic pathways that do not use oxygen. Rapid, intense exercises such as lifting heavy objects and sprinting are examples

A

Anaerobic Exercise

32
Q

occurs when the amount of oxygen taken into the body meets or exceeds the amount of oxygen required to perform the activity. uses large muscle groups, can be maintained continuously, and is rhythmic in nature

A

Aerobic exercise

33
Q

Patient lies on abdomen with head turned to one side
Allows full extension of hips and knees
Allows secretions to drain from mouth

A

Prone position

34
Q

s/s of sprains and strains are similar to ________ requiring an ______ to distinguish

A

fractures

xray

35
Q

semi-sitting position w/ HOB 45-60 degrees

A

Fowler’s position

36
Q

Side lying position with top hip and knee flexed and placed in the front of the body
Createspressure on the lower scapula, ilium and trochanter but relieves pressure from the heels and sacrum

A

Lateral position

37
Q

the most common devices used to assist with positioning, provide support, and elevate body parts.

A

Pillows

38
Q

This type of exercise uses muscle contraction without motion

A

isometric

39
Q

used for rehab of lower extremeties

A

Crutch walking

40
Q

Weight training is an example of exercise with movement of of the joint during the muscle contraction

A

isotonic

41
Q

what is required for a definitive diagnosis for a fracture

A

xray

42
Q

Which type of exercise would you employ for a 28-year-old male patient who is quadriplegic to avoid contractures?

A
