Mobility/Activity pt 1 Flashcards
what is immobility
An inability to move
Impaired physical mobility
what is mobility
state or quality of being mobile or movable
what is the role of the skeletal system in movement
Supports the soft tissues of the body
Protects crucial components of the body
Furnishes surfaces for the attachment of muscles, tendons, and ligaments
Provides storage areas for minerals and fat
Produces blood cells
what are 4 important functions of muscles
motion
maintenance of posture
support
heat production
what do joints provide
stability
skeletal movement
what is synarthrosis
nonmoveable
what is amphiarthrosis
slightly moveable
what is diarthrosis
freely moveable
what is a fibrous joint
sutures btwn skull bones
what is a cartilaginous joint
vertebral joints
what is a synovial joint
joint cavities
what is a condyloid joint
oval head goes into cavity
what are some examples of condyloid joints
jaw
wrist
fingers
what is a gliding joint
flat surface over another
what is a hinge joint
surface of bone fits into concave surface of another
what is a pivot joint
ring like structure
what is an example of a pivot joint
radius and ulna
what is a saddle joint
one convex bone and one concave bone
what is an example of a saddle joint
thumb
what is resisted rom
strength testing
what effect does the nervous system have on muscle contractions
Neurons conduct impulses from one part of the body to another.
The afferent nervous system conveys information to the CNS.
Information is processed by the CNS leading to a response.
The efferent neurons convey the response from the CNS to skeletal muscles by way of the somatic nervous system .
what is the labyrinthine sense
sensory organ in inner ear that helps w/ balance
what is proprioceptor or kinesthetic sense
knowing where your limb is
what do visual or optic reflexes do
alert us for spacial relationships
what do extensor or stretch reflexes do
extendors stretched beyond
what are some factors influencing mobility
developmental considerations
physical health
mental health
lifestyle
attitude and values
fatigue and stress
external factors
what is an isotonic exercise
muscle shortening and active movement
what is an isometric exercise
muscle contraction without shortening
what is an isokinetic exercise
muscle contraction with resistance
what are some benefits of exercise
increased muscle efficiency and flexibility
increased coordination
reduced bone loss
increased efficiency of nerve impulse transmission
what is the physical assessment for mobility
general ease of mvmt and gait
alignment
joint structure and function
muscle mass, tone and strength
endurance
what are some equipment and assistive devices
gait belts
stand-assist and repositioning aids
lateral-assist devices
friction-reducing sheets
mechanical lateral-assist devices
transfer chairs
powered stand-assist and repositioning lifts
powered full-body lifts
what ar4e some mechanical aids used for walking
walker
cane
braces
crutches
what is prone position
laying on belly
what is fowler’s position
pt sitting up 90 degrees
what is semifowlers position

what is lateral position
laying on side
what is sims position
