Biomechanical Approach
Remedial /Restorative, includes activities and exercise that target occupational performance subcomponents.
Examples of intervention on Biomechanical
May involve training or instructions designed to increase muscle strength, improve or prevent loss of joint ROM, increase endurance for daily activities, enhance dexterity and manipulate skills, and prevent loss of skin integrity.
Rehabilittion Approach
Compensatory / Modify. Addresses the patient's abilities and potential for regaining independence in ADL.
Rehabilitation Approach addresses
The use of assistive devices and modifications of activities to accomplish functional goals.
The biomechanics frame of reference is used
Used to structure intervention for individuals with functional limitations due to impairments in body structures and body functions.
Impairments when using Biomechanical approach
Decrease strength, flexibility, ROM, and endurance. Need to restore the functional motion necessary to sustain occupational performance.
Increasing muscle endurance
Working muscle and resist fatigue, High-load reputation and low-load repetition, Maximun capacity of a strengthening program, strength verses endurance.
Types of muscle contraction
Isometric or static contraction. No joint motion occurs muscle strength lengths remains. Stabilize joint.
