Mobility, Activity, Sleep and Rest Flashcards
refers to a person’s routine of exercise, activity, leisure, and recreation
Activity-Exercise Pattern
Activity-Exercise Pattern includes:
(a)activities of daily living (ADLs)
(b) the type, quality, and quantity of exercise, including
sports
is the ability to move freely, easily, rhythmically, and purposefully in the environment, is an essential part of
living.
Mobility
VITAL TO INDEPENDENCE
Mobility
Four basic elements of Normal Movement
- Body alignment (posture)
- Joint mobility
- Balance
- Coordinated Movements
Factors Affecting Body Alignment and Activity
× Growth and development
× Nutrition
× Personal values and attitudes
× Certain external factors
× Prescribed limitations
decrease risk factors for chronic diseases and to increase their health and well-being
Exercise
the ability of the body to perform work
Functional strength
type and amount of exercise or ADLs an individual is able to perform without experiencing adverse effects.
Activity tolerance
Types of Exercise according to type of muscle contraction:
× Isotonic (dynamic)
× Isometric (static or setting)
× Isokinetic (resistive)
Types of Exercise according to source of energy:
× Aerobic
× Anaerobic
Benefits of Exercise
× Musculoskeletal
× Cardiovascular
× Respiratory
× Gastrointestinal
× Metabolic/Endocrine
× Urinary
× Immune
× Psychoneurologic (Neuropsychology)
the study of the relationships between the brain and behavior.
Neuropsychology
Causes of Immobility
× Musculoskeletal problems
× Neurologic problems
× Inactive lifestyle
× Inner ear infections or dizziness
× Congenital problems
client moves each joint in the body through its complete range of movement
Active ROM Exercise
another person moves the client’s joints
Passive ROM Exercise
describe the efficient, coordinated and safe use of the body to move objects and carry out ADLs.
Body Mechanics
Reduces energy requirements and risk for injury
Body Mechanics
Positioning Clients
Done regularly (every 2 hours)
