Q

what gait is like a duck, spread wide apart?

A

24
Q

What is the progressive shortening of a muscle and loss of joint mobility resulting from fibrotic chanes in tissues surrounding joint?

A

contracture

25
Q

What is the largest reportable problem related to mobility?

A

Fall

26
Q

4 problems associated with immobility

A
  1. Pain (renal calculi, atrophy, contracture, PU)
  2. Cardiovascular (orthostatic hypotension)
  3. Injury (PU)
  4. Infection (urinary stasis)
27
Q

_____ formation increased with immobility

A

Thrombus

28
Q

3 things to prevent DVT in hospital

A
  1. ambulation
  2. low molecular heparin (anticoag)
  3. compression
29
Q

How does thrombus form from immobolity?

A

-longer the blood pools, the longer the platelets, fibrin, or cellular elements have to attach to the wall of the vessel

30
Q

What is atelectasis?

A

alveoli collapse due to decreased breathing/underinflation of lungs

31
Q

Does Nitrogen increase or decrease with immobility?

A

increase

32
Q

Why do we care about nitrogen and immobility? What happens when excretion of nitrogen exceeds the intake?

A
  • increase muscle breakdown causes excess nitrogen
  • when excess nitrogen: inadequate protein synth, delayed healing of wounds, slow muscle restoration when mobility returns
33
Q

Surgical procedure where scope is inserted into the joint to inspect for abnormalities

A

Arthroscopy

34
Q

5 examples of activities or programs to recommend for physical fitness/health promotion

A
  • tai chi
  • group activities
  • health club membership
  • strength training
  • physical therapy
35
Q

Condition with decrease bone mass, and disruption of bone architecture

A

osteoporosis

36
Q

Recommendations for treating/preventing osteoporosis

A
  • smoking cessation
  • limit alcohol/caffeine
  • Vit D/ Ca
  • weight bearing exercises
  • bone density check
  • medications
