Q

What is therapeutic exercise

A

Systematic, planned performance of bodily movements, postures or physical activities intended to provide a patient with the means to:
• Remediate or prevent impairments
• Improve, restore or enhance physical
function
• Prevent or reduce health-related risk factors
• Optimize overall health status, fitness or sense of well-being

Q

SAID (specific adaptation to imposed demands) principle includes what

A
  • Specificity of training (Muscles adapt over time to the stresses placed on
    them)
    • Strength versus muscular endurance
    • Specific velocity of exercise
    • Isometric versus concentric versus eccentric
    • Specific joint angle
    • Emphasis on task-specific practice

Q

What is the reversibility principle

A

“Use it or lose it”

Adaptive changes due to strength, lower, or endurance training are transient

Q

What is the overload principle

A

To improve muscle performance, a load that exceeds the
metabolic capacity of the muscle must be applied
• Focuses on progressive loading of a muscle by manipulating
intensity or volume

Q

Key steps to develop a therapeutic exercise plan

A
  • Identify impairments and functional limitations
    • Develop goals to address impairments and
    functional limitations
    • Implement appropriate therapeutic exercises
    • Continually assess progress towards goals and progress program appropriately

Q

Indications of passive ROM

A
  • In a region where a patient is unable or active movement is contraindicated
  • To allow assessment of inert structures to determine limitations of normal motions at a joint
