Chapter 16 - Using Therapeutic Exercise in Rehabilitation Flashcards
RAMP
rehab goals
management of Acute responses
restoration of mobility
successful completion of performance goals
effects of immobilization on muscle
atrophy and fiber type conversion (mostly type 1 - slow twitch)
prevent with e-stim and iso contraction
decreases neuromuscular efficiency (returns within 1 week)
effects of immobilization on joints
loss of normal compression
decrease in lubrication
degneration
prevent: passive motion, e-stim, hinged casts
effects of immobilization on ligaments and bone
weakening
preventing: high freq, short duration endurance exercise
may take 12 months of rehab
effects of immobilization on cardiorespiratory system
resting heart rate increases .5 bpm for each day
stroke volume, max oxygen uptake, vital capacity decrease w/ increase in heart rate
major components of rehabilitation program
minimizing initial swelling
controlling pain
restoring range of motion
restoring muscular strength, endurance, power
regaining postural stability and balance
maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness
incorporation function progressions
minimizing swelling
RICE
reduce secondary cell death
controlling pain
RICE, medications
restoring range of motion
attributed to contracture of CT or resistance to stretch .
restore physiological and accessory movements
restoring muscular strength, endurance, and power
isometric
PRE
Isokinetic exercise
testing strength, endurance, and power
isometric
early rehab phase
increase static strength
decrease atrophy
PRE
Progressive Resistance Exercise
free weights, machines, tubing , etc
isotonic contractions
concentric and eccentric contractions
isokinetic exercise
later stages of rehab, fixed speed with accommodating resistance to provide maximal resistance throughout ROM
calculate torque, average power, total work, ratios of torque to body weight
testing strength, endurance, and power
evaluations though manual muscle tests, resistance exercise, isokinetic dynamometers
re-establishing neuromuscular control, propioception, kinesthesia, joint position sense
mind’s attempt to teach the body conscious control of a specific movement
- several reps, same movement, progression from simple to complex
- functional strengthening, re-learning sensory pattern, dynamic stability, preparatory and reactive muscle characteristics,
