Activity, Render Flashcards
function of skeletal system
protects organs and allow movement
fnc of muscular system
-how does it work?
works with tendons to move the body
- Maintain body posture
- movement accomplished by contracting and exerting force on tendons , pull bones
nervous system
sends signal to muscle to generate movement
variables that influence body alignment and mobility
- Developmental considerations
- physical health
- Muscular, sk’l, NS problems
- Problems involving other body system
- Mental health
- Lifestyle-occupation, leisure, activity preference
- Attitude and values
- Fatigue and stress
- External factors
Isotonic definition and example
active/passive?
Muscle contraction and active movement
active
e.g. ADLs, Walking
Benefits of isotonic and isometric exercise
increase in muscle mass
inc in tone, strength, improved mobility, cardiac and respiratory function
Definition of isometric exercise
muscle contraction without movement (no shortening)
Isokinetic ex
contraction with resistance, resistance provided by an equipment
ROM
maximum degree of movement a joint can perform
Transfer chair
use when patient is noncoop, no weight bearing
good for chair to stretcher
powered stand assist and repositioning lifts
use if patient can bear weight and follow directions, coop
full body lifts
use when patient cannot bear any weight
How to prevent foot drop
-Position of foot desired
use a foot board, foot boot, high top sketchers
-want dorsiflexion, not platerflexion
trochanter rolls
prevents femur rotating outwards, supports hip and legs
Hand rolls and wrist splints
prevents loss of hand fnc
Body positions while on bed
fowler’s position, supine/dorsal recumbent, side lying/ lateral position
oblique
sims
prone
Benefits of early ambulation
- Reduce hospital stay
- Reduce ventilation need
- Increase muscle strength and functional independence
Steps to ambulate with a cane
- Cane on stronger side
- Cane first
- Weak leg parallel to cane
- # Good legstairs:
- Good leg while holding the handrail
- # Weak legTo come down stairs
- Put your cane on the step first, then your
