immobilisation Flashcards
immobilsation
where an individual has their everyday movement restricted for a time.
effects of immobilasation
Musculoskeletal
Cardiorespiratory
Neurological
Integumentary
Circulatory and urinary
Digestive
Depression/anxiety
Decreased alertness – cognitive function
Social isolation
Lack of stimulation
Lack of stimulation
Lack of sensory input – proprioception
atrophy
loss of muscle mass
greater in extensors in lower limb and trunk
joint contractures
shorterning of muscles
decrease extensibiity in connective tissue
leads to fixed posture
decrease bone strength
decreased loading
lead to increase risk of fractures
neurological effects
decreased congintion
decreased alertness
depression of reticular activating system
compression neuroc
circulatory effects
venous pooling
decreased venous return
decreased stroke volume
urinary system effects
difficult voiding
increased residual volume
increased risk of infection
IUC
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM EFFECTS
decreased appetie
decreased periastic movement
embarrsement of using bed pans
constepation
vommiting and reflux
integementary system
risk of pressure ulcer
decreased snesation
intervention
self initiative movement
positioning
exercise active movement
splinting
massage
passive movements
positioning
