FINAL: ACTIVITY/REST Flashcards
What systems work together to create movement?
Musculoskeletal and Neurovascular systems
** Depleted activity in either one causes a depletion of activity **
What does the MSK system consist of?
Skeletal, Cardiac and Smooth Muscles
What does the neurovascular consist of?
neurons (afferent and efferent) conduct energy for CNS reception and MSK movement.
What is isotonic exercise?
muscle shortening that involves active movement (running, walking, swimming, etc)
What is isometric exercise?
muscle innervation without shortening that muscle (yoga, pilates, stretching, etc.)
What is isokinetic exercise?
using weights or weight lifting devices (can sit on the side of the bed and do some weight lifting with weights around ankles)
What is osteogenesis imperfecta
dwarfism (pre-mature calcification of the bones); more prone to brittle bones
What is paget’s disease?
abnormal regeneration
What is osteoporosis?
joint immobility; brittle bones - very prone to fractures from the slightest of falls
What is muscular dystrophy?
progressive; no cure = weakness
What is myasthenia gravis?
weakness caused by neuromuscular junction that prevents fibers from contracting (pt cant ambulate
What is muscular dystrophy?
progressive and prolonged illnesses that result in spasms and muscle depletion/weakening
** Types: Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy **
What is parkinson’s disease?
progressive degeneration of the ganglia; affects walking, coordination and balance = tremors and shaking
What is MS?
affects the myelin sheaths of the neurons CNS degenerates and hardens with plaque = loose coordination and have tremors = fatigue
What is paresis?
impaired muscle strength
