Exam 1 Flashcards
AMAP
as much as possible
ANAP
as normally as possible
What is the purpose of rehab?
to enable patients to engage as fully as possible in life activities they find meaningful; dependence>independence
CCDD
control centrally, direct distally; nose over toes
linear force
force in a straight line ex: walking straight
angular force
force that rotates or moves along a curved path ex: walking around a moving object
external force
outside force acting on the body ex: gravity
internal force
force produced by the body
tensile load
stretching load
example of a good tensile load
increasing flexibility of a muscle
example of a bad tensile load
overstretching of a muscle
example of a compressive load
landing straight legged after a dunk and spinal compression
example of a good distractive load
cervical traction and long axis distraction to increase the gap at the hip joint to relieve pressure
example of a bad distractive load
swinging kids by their arms causing distraction (possible dislocation) at shoulder, elbow, and wrist
example of shear load
skin breakdown on a patient w/ bad sensation
example of bending load
planted leg and getting hit while bending
example of torsion load
bending and twisting; spiral fracture
Base of support (BOS)
the contact area of an object with its supporting surface
dynamic trunk mobility
more mobility in the core = better stability for the entire body
controlled mobility
occurs when the center of mass intentionally moves beyond the BOS and back within the BOS ex: running
What is an example of uncontrolled mobility?
falling, slipping
static stability
maintaining and controlling the body’s orientation in space; keep center of mass within BOS
