26
Q

When designing a client’s program, what all should you assess ab the client?

A
  • current fitness status
  • joint concerns
  • med use
  • functional ability
27
Q

When working with a client, what all should you focus on

A

weight training with progressive resistance
stair climbing
running and jumping activities

28
Q

Which is better for osteoporosis? OCK or CKC

A

CKC

29
Q

True or False:
Plyometrics are effective but should be used with caution for older adults

A

True

30
Q

What are plyometrics?

A

specialized exercises that are associated with high-impact loads specifically designed to increase muscular strength and power
- assure strength and balance are adequate before attempting this

31
Q

What is arthritis?

A

deterioration resulting in inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and structural changes to a joint
- can result from disease, injury, or infection

32
Q

What are the two types of arthitis?

A

OA = muskuloskeletal
RA = autoimmune

33
Q

What are the joint structure components and what are they?

A

joint capsule - encloses joint to keep fluid
synovial membrane - lining of the joint capsule
synovial fluid - flows within the membrane and provides lubrication essential to healthy joint function

34
Q

Arthritis breaks down the _______ ______ (articular cartilage) that covers the articulating bone surfaces within a joint

A

hyaline cartilage

35
Q

What is hyaline cartilage?

A

a dense, elastic, fibrous conn tissue that has no blood supply and thus cannot heal

36
Q

What is OA?

A

a chronic degenerative form of arthritis that primarily affects articular cartilage
- results in bone remodeling and overgrowth (lipping and spurs) at the joint margins

37
Q

What is bone lipping?

A

the formation of lip like structures at the articular end of a bone

38
Q

What is a bone spur?

A

(osteophyte)
- a tiny projected outgrowth of bone that develop in areas of inflammation and injury

39
Q

What is ankylose?

A

to unite or fuse together (bamboo)

40
Q

What does OA result from?

A

wear and tear
- modifed activity can slow the progression

41
Q

What joint do OA primarily affect?

A

knee, hip, and fingers

42
Q

What do symptoms of OA include?

A
  • pain and stiffness
  • progressive loss of flexibility and development of bone spurs
  • gradual reduced tolerance to pain associated with joint degeneration
  • thinning of articular cartilage that transmits force to bone
  • eventual bone on bone contact resulting in constant pain
43
Q

True or False:
Symptoms of OA may not appear until significant degenerative changes have occurred, and at this stage surgery is the only viable treatment

A

True

44
Q

OA is ______ and RA is ________ (sides of how it affects the body)

A

OA = unilateral or bilateral
RA = bilateral

45
Q

What factors lead to accelerated deterioration?

A
  • obesity
  • poor nutrition
  • lack of joint movement
  • excessive repetitive joint movement
  • surgical intervention
46
Q

What are the risk factors for developing OA

A
  • aging
  • overweight or obesity
  • previous joint surgery
  • altered gait pattern often linked to prev injury
47
Q

OA can lead to ___, ________, and ____

A

CAD, diabetes, and HTN

48
Q

True or False:
Exercise will not cure OA but low impact, moderate resistance exercise can reduce the pain and rate of decline in functional capacity

A

True

49
Q

What is RA?

A

an autoimmune disorder that results in inflammation and thickening of the joint capsule

50
Q

What is autoimmune disorder?
