Types of Joints (gen notes)
● Hinge: flexion and extension
○ Ex: elbow and knee
● Pivot: rotation
○ Ex: neck
● Ball-and-socket: flexion and extension; hyperextension; abduction and
adduction; internal and external rotation; circumduction
○ Ex: shoulder
● Saddle: flexion and extension; abduction and adduction; circumduction
○ Ex: carpometacarpal joint (thumb)
● Condyloid: flexion and extension; abduction and adduction; circumduction
○ Ex: metacarpophalangeal joint
● Gliding
○ Intercarpal joints
What the main types of muscle?
Cardiac, Smooth, Skeletal
A nurse stretches out a patient’s leg and moves it away from the body. This is an example of what type of body movement?
A. Abduction
B. Flexion
C. Circumduction
D. Dorsiflexion
A. Abduction
Functions of smooth/visceral muscle
- forms wall of hollow organs, blood vessels, and tubes
What are the four main functions of skeletal muscles?
- Motion - skeletal muscle contracts, pulling on the tendons to create movement
- Maintenance of posture
- Protection of ex. heart, lung, brain
- Heat production (contractions produce heat)
What is isotonic exercise?
- same TENSION
- the muscle contracts and length changes
e.g. swimming, bicycling, walking
What is isometric exercise?
- same LENGTH
- muscle contracts but length remains the same
e.g. yoga, squats
What is isokinetic exercise?
- same SPEED
- muscle contracts and shortens w a constant speed and resistance
e.g. weight lifting, stationary bike, treadmill
Jogging is an example of isokinetic exercise.
A. True
B. False
B. False
What is the main benefit of having a patient in the Fowler’s position?
Comfort and easy breathing
What are the four variations of the Fowler’s position?
○ High Fowler’s: 80-90 degrees
○ Standard Fowler’s: 45-60 degrees
○ Semi-Fowler’s: 30-45 degrees
○ Low Fowler’s: 15-30 degrees
What is the Trendelenburg position and when is it used?
It is when the head is lower than the feet, bringing more blood to the brain.
Used after someone faints
What is the reverse trendelenburg position and when is it used?
It is when the head is higher than the feet, directing blood away from the brain.
Used during brain or neck surgery.
Describe the dorsal recumbent position and when it is used.
The knees are up with the feet flat.
- pelvic exams, childbrith
