What is the definition of therapeutic exercise
the systematic, planned performance of physical movements, postures, or activities intended to provide a patient/client with 4 key things.
Therapeutic exercise 1.remediates or _____ impairments of body functions and structure. 2. Improve, restore or enhance activities and _____ 3. Prevent or reduce ____ ____ 4. _____ overall health, fitness, or sense of well-being
- prevents 2. participation 3. risk factors 4. optimize
Therapeutic exercise falls under the category of procedural _______.
interventions
How many types of procedural interventions are commonly selected by physical therapists?
9
What forms the core of most physical therapy plans of care?
The 9 types of procedural interventions
List the first three types of therapeutic exercise interventions
- aerobic conditions and reconditioning 2. Muscle performance exercise like strength, power, and endurance 3.Stretching techniques like joint mobs/manipulation and muscle lengthening
List the second three types of therapeutic exercise interventions
- Neuromuscular control and postural awareness 2. Postural control and stabilization 3. Balance and agility training
List the last three types of therapeutic exercise interventions
- Relaxation exercises 2. Breathing exercises and ventilator muscle training 3. Task-specific functional training
What are the clinical considerations regarding examination that direct the type of therapeutic intervention used on a patient
Pathology, impairments, functional limitations, disability, risk reduction, and health/wellness needs
Instead of saying impairment, what should we technically say
body structure and function repairments
Consequences of pathological conditions that display signs and symptoms that reflect abnormalities within the body are _______
impairments
What body systems do PTs generally address impairments to
musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, and integumentary
Instead of saying functional limitation, what should we technically say
activity limitations
Functional limitations occur at the level of the ______ person
whole
What is the result of body function and structure impairment
a functional limitation/activity limitation
_____ is characterized by reduced ability of a person to perform actions or components of motor skills in an efficient or typically expected manner
Functional/activity limitations
Decreased ROM of shoulder may lead to an inability to reach overhead while trying to brush hair. What is this an example of
functional/activity limitations
List some common functional/activity limitations
lifting/carrying throwing/catching squatting/kneeling
What is the inability to perform or participate in activities or tasks related to one’s self, the home, work, recreation, or the community in a manner or to the extent that the individual or community as whole perceive as normal
disability/participation restriction
Instead of saying disability, we should technically say _______
participation restriction
To make sure the patient has a safe environment to exercise in, what are three things to consider?
- Patient’s Hx and current health 2. Prepare the environment 3. Accuracy of body alignment, intensity, speed, and duration
True or False: Ther-ex designed by PTs are generalized programs that help the patient achieve optimal function
False, they are not generalized they are individualized
What is the definition of a patient
An individual with impairments and functional limitations diagnosed by a PT and receiving PT care to improve function and prevent disability
What is the definition of a client
An individual without diagnosed dysfunction who engages in PT services to promote health and wellness and prevent dysfunction
