Lecture 9- Therapeutic Exercise Flashcards
Therapeutic exercise is a systematic, planned performance of bodily movements, postures, or physical activities intended to provide a patient with the means to:
- Remediate or prevent __________
- Improve, restore or enhance ________ function
- Prevent or reduce health-related _________
- Optimize overall _________, fitness or sense of well-being
- impairements
- physical
- risk factors
- health status
Development of a therapeutic exercise program involves the integration and application of knowledge of what subjects?
- anatomy
- physiology
- kinesiology
- pathology
- behavioral sciences
A therapeutic exercise program should be __________ to the unique needs of each patient.
-individualized
What are the aspects of physical function that lead to full function?
- muscle performance
- cardiopulm/ endurance
- mobility/ flexibility
- neuromuscular control/ coordination
- stability
- balance/ postural equilibrium
What does therapeutic exercise include?
- aerobic and endurance conditioning
- flexibility exercises
- neuromotor development training
- relaxation techniques
- muscle performance exercises: strength, power, and endurance exercises

- limitations
- goals
- therapeutic
Common Musculoskeletal Impairments Managed with Therapeutic Exercise:

- circulation
What are the components of an effective therapeutic exercise program?
- Safe
- Individualized
- Tailored to patients ______
- Appropriately challenging
- Functional/ ____-specific
- Implement ______-_______ exercises
- Includes patient __________
- Involves progressive __________ and is constantly evolving
- goals
- task-specific
- evidence-based
- education
- overload
Strength vs. Power vs. Endurance Training
Strength Training
-Lowering or controlling ______ loads (resistance) for a relatively ____ number of reps
Power training
- ______ the intensity and _______ the time period taken to generate force=greater muscle power
- ______ of movement is often the element most manipulated
Endurance training
-Contract and lift or lower a ____ load for ____ reps or sustain a muscle contraction for an extended period of time
-heavy/low
- greater, shorter
- speed
-lower, many
What is the overload principle?
To improve muscle performance, a load that exceeds the metabolic capacity of the muscle must be applied.
The overload principle focuses on progressive loading of a muscle by manipulating _________ or _________.
- intensity= strength training
- volume= endurance training
-speed or explosiveness= power training
What is the SAID principle?
Specific adaptation to imposed demands
-muscles adapt over time to the stresses placed on them
