Intro (chap 1) Flashcards
Ther-ex
Systematic, planned performance of bodily movements, postures, and physical activities to
- Remediale or prevent impariements
- Improve, restore, or enhance physical function
- Prevent or reduce health related risk factors
- Optimize overa health status and well-being
* *skilled and individualized
Balance
The ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move the body (COM) within available base of support without falling
- the ability to move the body in equilibrium with gravity via interaction of the sensory and motor systems
Cardiopulmonary endurance (fitness)
The ability to perform moderate-intensity, repetitive, total body movements over an extended period of time
- walking, joggin, cycling, swimming
Coordination
The correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with the appropriate intensity of musclular contraction leading to the effective initiation, guiding, and grading of movement
- basis of smooth, accurate, efficient movement and occurs at a conscious or automatic level
Flexibility (mobility)
The ability to move freely, without restriction
Mobility
The ability of structures or segments of the body to move or be moved in order to allow the occrrence of ROM for funcional activities
- active requires neuromuscular activation
Mm performance
The capacity of mm to produce tension and do physical work
- encompasses strength, power, and mm endurance
Neuromuscular control
Interaction of the sensory and motor systems that enables synergistic, agonists, and antagonists, as well as stabilizers and neutralizes, to anticipate or respond to proprioceptive and kinesthetic information.
- must work in correct sequence to reate coordinated movement
Stability
The ability of the neuromuscular system through synergistic mm actions to hold a proximal or distal body segment
- proximal stability (core) > distal mobility
Joint stability
The maintenance of proper alignment of bony partners of a joint by means of passive and dynamic components
- active: mm working
- passive: other structures
Goal = function (6)
- Mm performance
- Cardiovascular endurance
- Mobility and flexibility
- NMR and coordination
- Stability
- Balance and equilibrium
* safety
Ther-ex interventions (10)
- Aerobic

- Neuromuscular techniques
- Postural control
- Balance training
- Agility training
- Relaxation*
- Breathing exercises*
- Task-specific
*often missed
Considerations prior to tx
ICF model - pt management - clinical decision making
- pt specific - safe - understand roles and responsibilities - best practice
Clinical decision making
Dynamic, complex process of reasoning and analytical thinking that involves making judgments and determinations in the context of patient care
EBP
- identify the problem
- search literature and collect evidence
- analyze information found
- integrate evidence
- incorporate findings
- assess outcomes
Pt management model
Examination - evaluation - diagnosis - prognosis - intervention - outcomes
*referrals/consultations and re-examination throughout
