ability to sustain an activity over time
cardiac, biomechanical and neuromuscular function
-compromised by inactivity, immobilization, cardioresp or muscular deconditioning
-related to intensity, duration or frequency of activity
-% max HR, # of reps, length a contraction is held

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

A
  • inflammatory disease that can affect multiple joints in the body
  • 1 out of every 100 Canadians have RA, affects women 2-3 x more
  • Autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the linings of the joints
  • cause is unknown and no cure for RA but there are effective medications and treatments to control symptoms and inflammation
  • thickening of synovial membrane and increased synovial fluid
    (swelling)
  • prolonged swelling stretches and weakens ligaments and joint capsules resulting in joint instability and risk of deformity

Graphesthesia: Graphesthesia is the ability to recognize writing on the skin purely by the sensation of touch. Its name derives from Greek graphē (“writing”) and aisthēsis (“perception”).
Proprioreception
