mobility Flashcards
North American Nursing Diagnosis Association
(NANDA) Conference, the diagnosis____ was approved, underscoring the role of exercise and activity as an essential component of health.
Sedentary Lifestyle
objectives pertain to exercise and activity.
Many Healthy People 2020 (U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, 2013)
refers to a person’s routine of exercise, activity, leisure, and recreation. It includes (a) activities of daily
living (ADLs) that require energy expenditure such as hygiene, dressing, cooking, shopping, eating, working, and home maintenance,
and (b) the type, quality, and quantity of exercise, including sports.
activity-exercise pattern r
the ability to move freely, easily, rhythmically, and
purposefully in the environment, is an essential part of living
Mobility
(the foundation on which the
body rests)
base of support
(an imaginary vertical line drawn through the body’s center of gravity)
line of gravity
(the point at which all of the body’s mass is
centered)
center of gravity
The extensor muscles, often referred to as the _____ , carry the major load as they
keep the body uprigh
antigravity muscles
are the functional units of the musculoskeletal system
Joints
The ____ muscles are stronger than the ____ muscles.
flexor>extensor
. Thus, when a person is inactive, the joints are pulled into
a ____ position.
flexed (bent)
___ of a joint is the maximum movement that is possible for that joint.
The range of motion (ROM)
The mechanisms involved in maintaining balance and posture are complex and involve informational inputs from the labyrinth __ , from vision___, and from stretch receptors of muscles and tendons
(inner
ear)
(vestibulo-ocular input),|
(vestibulospinal input).
The labyrinth consists of the
cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals.
The cochlea is concerned with ____ , and the vestibule and semicircular canals with ______ .
hearing
equilibrium
Types of Joint Movements
Decreasing the angle of the joint (e.g.,
bending the elbow)
Flexion
Under normal conditions the equilibrium receptors in the
semicircular canals and vestibule, collectively called the ____ , send signals to the brain that initiate reflexes needed to
make required changes in position.
vestibular
apparatus
Information from these balance receptors goes directly to reflex centers in the ____ rather than to the
cerebral cortex as with other special senses
brainstem
is the term used to
describe awareness of posture, movement, and changes in equilibrium and the knowledge of position, weight, and resistance of objects
in relation to the body
Proprioception
Types of Joint Movements
Increasing the angle of the joint (e.g.,
straightening the arm at the elbow)
Extension
Types of Joint Movements
Further extension or straightening of a joint
(e.g., bending the head backward)
Hyperextension
Types of Joint Movements
Movement of the bone away from the
midline of the body
Abduction
Types of Joint Movements
Movement of the bone toward the midline
of the body
Adduction
Types of Joint Movements
Turning the sole of the foot outward by
moving the ankle joint
Eversion
Types of Joint Movements
Movement of the bone around its
central axis
Rotation
Types of Joint Movements
Movement of the distal part of the bone in a
circle while the proximal end remains fixed
Circumduction
Types of Joint Movements
Moving the bones of the forearm so that the
palm of the hand faces upward when held in
front of the body
Supination
Types of Joint Movements
Turning the sole of the foot inward by moving
the ankle joint
Inversion
Types of Joint Movements
Moving the bones of the forearm so that the
palm of the hand faces downward when
held in front of the body
Pronation
Types of Joint Movements
Flexion
Extension
Hyperextension
Abduction
Adduction
Rotation
Circumduction
Eversion
Inversion
Pronation
Supination
Balanced, smooth, purposeful movement is the result of proper
functioning of the
cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and basal ganglia.
The
____ initiates voluntary motor activity
cerebral cortex
the _____ coordinates the motor activities of movement,
cerebellum
the _____ maintain posture
basal ganglia
FACTORS AFFECTING BODY
ALIGNMENT AND ACTIVITY
These include growth and development,
nutrition, personal values and attitudes, certain external factors, and
prescribed limitations.
