Chapter 1 & 3 Flashcards
Definition of therapeutic exercises
- prevent impairments and/or disability (not eliminate)
-improve, restore or enhance physical function - prevent or reduce health related risk factors
- optimize overall health status, fitness or sense of well being

What are muscle performance exercises
Strength / endurance /power
Balance/postural equilibrium
Moving the center of mass within the available base of support without falling alignment of body against gravity
Cardiopulmonary endurances / fitness
Ability to perform moderate, repetitive, total body movements over an extended period of time
Coordination
Correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with the appropriate intensity of muscular contractions
Mobility flexibility
Ability of body to move or be moved freely
Stability
Ability of the neuromuscular system to hold a proximal or distal body segment in stationary position
Stability
Ability of the neuromuscular system to hold a proximal or distal body segment in stationary position
Neuromuscular control
Correct sequence to create coordinated movement
Exercise safety
Medical history medication risk factors precautions environment accuracy effective fatigue supervision
Impairments in body function
Problems associated with body systems
Impairments in body structure
Problems associated with body anatomy
Activity limitations
Difficulties in executing tasks or activities
Participation restrictions
Problems experiencing life situations
Contextual factors
Background of persons life
