Q

RA nodules

A

extra-articular manifestations of RA
25% frequency
extensor surfaces of tendons/joints causes irritation, nodule forms

also can form in subcutaneous tissues, pads of toes/heels, viscera

19
Q

Interventions for RA during Active inflammatory period

A

joint protection
energy conservation
exercise, functional training, gentle isometrics to prevent atrophy. Decrease time but increase frequency

NO stretching of joints

20
Q

Precautions of RA

A

steroid use, lead to osteoporosis
ligament laxity
respect fatigue
cardio exercise may be limited with fatigue

21
Q

Contraindication of RA

A

no stretching or mobilization of swollen joints when in a flare up phase

22
Q

RA interventions during subacute/chronic stages

A

joint protection and activity modification
flexibility and strength
cardiovascular endurance
adaptive equipment

23
Q

Risk factors for primary osteoporosis

A

Comes on its own

postmenopausal
caucasian or asian
family history
low body weight
no PA
diet low in vitamin D and calcium
smoking

24
Q

Risk factors for secondary osteoporosis

A

develops due to another problem

GI disease, Crone’s
hyperthyroidism
chronic renal failure
RA

25
Q

Prevention of Osteoporosis

A

diet rich in viramin D and calcium
heavy weight bearing exercise
no smoking, limited alcohol

PA helps to remodel bones

26
Q

Interventions for Osteoporosis

A

Aerobic training, 5x or more a week, moderate
Resistance, 2-3x week, focus on fatiguing
Functional, balance training

27
Q

Precautions Osteoporosis

A

any exercise that produces flexion and rotation of spine
balance exercises if balance is impaired

STAYING SAFE NOT SEDENTARY

28
Q

Contraindications Osteoporosis

A

vertebral compression fracture history must avoid flexion and rotation of spine

29
Q

NEMEX Training program

A

for patients with hip or knee OA
aims to improve senory and motor control, achieving functional stability

improves pain, physical function and PA, increases quality of life

30
Q

GLA:D and NEMEX

A

60 min program
warming up, circuit, cool down

role models are more experienced pts. quality is emphasized

31
Q

Good alignment

A

knee over toe not knee medial to toe

32
Q

Circuit portions

A

core stability
postural orientation
lower extremity muscle strength
functional exercises

1-2 exercises per area, performed 2-3 sets, 10-15 reps

33
Q

How to increase difficulty

A

Progression

varying # of, direction, velocity of movements
increasing load
changing support surface

34
Q

A

Pelvic lift w/flex knees, short lever arm. both legs loaded

Sit-ups, flex knees, both legs on ball, arms at sides, short lever arm

35
Q

Core stability Level 2

A

Pelvic lift w/semi flexed knees, long lever arm, both legs loaded

Sit-ups: flex knees, both legs on ball, arms over chest (medium lever arm)
