Sensory + Mobility + Rest Flashcards
Olfactory
Smell
Gustatory
Taste
Stereognosis
Ability to identify an object by feeling it
- Solidity of object
- Size
- Shape
- Texture
Kinaesthia
Ability to tell that we are moving and
why.
Ability to sense motion of a joint
Proprioception
Where the body is in space regardless of how it got there
Issues with Kinesthesia + Proprioception
- Clumsiness
- Problems with coordination + direction
- Inability to use utensils
- Trouble getting dressed
Sensory Perception
Making meaning of data from the senses
Four conditions of Sensory Perception
Stimulus
Receptor
Nerve Impulse
Brain receive + translate into a sensation
Reticular Activating System (Arousal Mechanism)
Maintains sensoristasis by monitoring and regulating incoming sensory stimuli and maintaining, enhancing and inhibiting cortical arousal
Sensory Deprivation
Inadequate quality or quantity of sensory input
Sensory Overload
Reception of multiple sensory stimuli and inability to perceptually disregard or selectively ignore some stimuli
Sensory Deficits
Impaired or absent functioning in one or more senses (sight or hearing)
Body Mechanics
The efficient use of the body as a machine and as a means of locomotion
Effect of Immobility on Cardiovascular
Increased Cardiac workload
Orthostatic Hypotension (BP drop when stand up)
Venous Thrombosis (blood clot forms in brain)
Effect of Immobility on Respiratory
Decreased depth + rate of respirations
