Quiz 1 Flashcards
what is wellness?
active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life; a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity; condition where all components of health are in good balance
where do PTs fit in wellness?
primary care in rehab
primary and secondary prevention and health promotion
across the lifespan
in all healthcare settings
guiding through safe physical activity
promoting health and wellness among individuals with comorbid health conditions
what is primary care?
prevention and general health promotion
what is secondary care?
decrease the duration, severity, or sequella (secondary impairments) of illness through early intervention
what is tertiary care?
limiting the degree of disability and promoting rehab and restoration of function in clients w/chronic and irreversible disease
what is physical fitness?
the ability to meet life’s demands and still have enough energy to respond to unplanned events.
what are the 5 basic components of wellness?
cardiorespiratory (aerobic) endurance
muscular strength
muscular endurance
flexibility
body composition
what is cardiorespiratory endurance?
the ability to supply and use oxygen over a period of time and in sufficient amounts to perform normal and unexpected activities
what is muscle strength?
the ability of a muscle to generate force over a given # of repetitions
what is muscle endurance?
the ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly or to sustain force for a given period of time
what is muscle power?
the ability of a muscle to generate max force in a short period of time (P=F x D/T
what is flexibility?
ability of a muscle to elongate sufficiently to meet the demands of the underlying joint
what is mobility?
ROM available at a joint which is influenced by several factors
what is body composition?
the relationship b/w the % body fat and lean body mass
what is body composition used for?
to monitor effectiveness of training/diet
to estimate competition weight in weight-category sports
to monitor health status in the prevention of disorders
what is normal body composition?
essential body fat for females=12%
essential body fat for males=3%
total body fat for females=25-28%
total body fat for males=12-15%
what are some ways body composition is measured?
BMI
height and weight tables
waist to hip ratio
bioelectric impedence
skin fold measurements
hydrostatic weighing
what are the stages of change in the stages of change theory?
- pre-contemplation
- contemplation (often deal with ambivalence here)
- preparation (decision and determination)
- action
- maintainence
when are programs more likely to be maintained?
when positive feelings are induced by exercise, feeling good, improved self-esteem, and higher energy levels
what are some tips to maintain exercising?
material reinforcement (not the best)
social reinforcement
joining a group
self motivating
make it fun!
what are some positive interviewing techniques?
active listening
encouragers
paraphrasing
asking probing follow up ?s
what are some negative interviewing techniques?
pushing or persuading patients to make change
how should you respond to ambivalence?
listen
unpack
explore
give pt place to sort it out
reflect change talk
ask ?s
what is sustain talk?
pt communication opposing change or in favor of staying the same
what are the benefits of cardiorespiratory fitness?
increased max O2 consumption (VO2 max)
improved submax exercise efficiency
faster recovery from aerobic exercise session
improved blood lipid profile
enhanced body composition
increased bone density
enhanced ability to cope with stress
decreased susceptibility to and severity of chronic disease like cancers
increased quality of life
what are some benefits of flexibility training?
increased ROM and improved performance
injury prevention
reduction in LBP (Low back pain)
warms deep muscles fibers
prepares you mentally for vigorous activity
maintains joking flexibility an reduces pain as you age
reduced loss of function and inability to perform ADLs and IADLs
what are the benefits of weight training?
manage body weight and fat
improved appearance, body image, and self-concept
increased strength and endurance for work and everyday activities
increased bone-mineral content and bone density
heart health (reduced cardiovascular risks)
less tendency to develop OA, obesity, diabetes
improved geriatric vigor
improved mobility and balance in elderly
improved completion of ADLs
what is pathophysiology?
the structural and functional changes caused by disease or trauma
what some causes of injury?
ischemia
infectious agents
immune reactions
chemical factors
nutritional factors
psychosocial factors
mechanical factors
what is ischemia?
blood flow is insufficient to maintain cell function
obstruction of bronchi–> poor transport of O2 in lungs–> reduced transport of O2 in blood–> inability of cells to use O2
what is hypoxia?
partial reduction in O2
what is anoxia?
total reduction in O2
what does loss of aerobic metabolism lead to?
decreased ATP synthesis which increases ions and fluids in cells which then lowers metabolism and cell function
what are infectious agents?
bacterial/viral infections may lead to cell injury and inflammation
initiate inflammation in an attempt to inactivate the pathogen
what is sepsis?
extreme response to infection leading to widespread inflammation, identified by toxins that are present in the blood
what is clostridium tetani?
releases exotoxins that interfere with inhibitory NTs and cause involuntary muscle contractions
what are immune reactions?
hypersensitivities ranging from a mild allergy to autoimmune disorders
what is a mild allergy?
runny nose due to histamine release
