UNIT 3

Question 1

Monnonly used physical performance tests ?

Answer 1

1. mobility
2. lower extremity strength
3. flexbility
4. balance
   combination

Question 2

commonly used
tests include?(4)

Answer 2

1. Gait speed, timed up and go
2. 30 s sit to stand
3. stair climb or functional test to life
4. functional flexibility (i.e chair sit and reach)

Question 3

Contraindictaions to physical performance test ?

Answer 3

• Extreme pain
• Risk of joint pain exacerbation
• Patient or client reluctance
• Risk of falls (use a waist belt or other precautionary
  measures)

Question 4

Common causes
of early fatigue and volitional exhaustion?

Answer 4

Morbid obesity and inactive lifestyle
* Cardiovascular disease
* Weakness due to inhibition or pain
* depression.
* Neurovascular sequelae
* The individual can be just very out of shape
from a sedentary lifestyle.

Question 5

Why is Pa nb in chronic cond

Answer 5

1. preserve health
2. increase functionality
3. maintain independence

Question 6

how to distingish limitations in muscoskeltal conditions ?

Answer 6

• Use maneuvers to see if the muscles are
  strong when the joint doesn’t hurt.
• Look for atrophy and muscle wasting that
  suggests deconditioning.
• Determine whether modified exercise programs
  (e.g., aquatic therapy) that unload
  the skeleton can enable exercise with less
  discomfort.

Question 7

list major long-term goals for people
with overweight-obesity and joint pain:

Answer 7

• Maintaining robust functional capacity,
  quality of life, and independent living
• Preserving mental wellness and averting
  progression to long-term disabilities
• Delaying the need for surgery to implant
  prosthetic joints
• Preventing progression of obesity and
  physical inactivity into type 2 diabetes
• Preventing heart disease and stroke as
  causes of disability and death
• Providing a social support to maintain longterm
  exercise behaviors

Question 8

whatfactors to emphasize for multiple chronic conditions?

Answer 8

• Walking endurance
• Functional lower-extremity strength (e.g.,
  sit to stand, stair climbing)
• Core stability and balance activities, particularly
  those that simulate ADL challenges
• Graduation to attempting short intervalstyle
  efforts to increase gait speed

Question 9

Goal for frail/ elderly ?

Answer 9

• start with just muscular endurance such as
  sit to stand to facilitate ADL mobility, and
• set a goal of slowing their rate of deterioration.
