Mobility

Front 1

Name 4 general categories that can affect mobility.

Back 1

Trauma, disease, normal aging, health events

Front 2

Describe the effects of mobility on the urinary sys

Back 2

increased blood flow to kidneys, efficiency to maintain fluid and acid-base balance, and efficiency in excreting wastes

Front 3

Describe the effects of immobility on the urinary sys

Back 3

increase in urinary stasis (uti's), risk for renal calculi and decreased bladder muscle tone.

Front 4

Describe the psychological effects of mobility.

Back 4

more energy, vitality, general well-being improved, better sleep, better appearance, positive health behaviors, endorphins released for sense of well being, better posture.

Front 5

Describe the psychological effects of immobility

Back 5

increased sense of powerlessness, decreased self-concept, social interaction and sensory stimulation. Increased risk for depression and an altered sleep-wake pattern

Front 6

Describe the effects of mobility on skin

Back 6

improved tone, color, turgor, circulation and perfusion

Front 7

Describe the effects of immobility on the skin

Back 7

increased risk for skin breakdown and ulcers, decrease in vit D, turgor, and proprioceptor abilities

Front 8

Describe the effects of mobility on the cardiovascular sys

Back 8

increased efficiency, heart rate, blood flow, and oxygenation to all parts of body. Decreased resting heart rate and BP.

Front 9

Describe the effects of immobility on the cardiovascular sys

Back 9

increased cardiac workload, decreased stroke vol, size of heart decreases, lf ventricle decreases, increased risk from DVT, orthostatic hypotension

Front 10

Describe the effects of mobility on the metabolic sys

Back 10

increased efficiency of metabolic sys, body temp regulation, resistance to physical stress, sympathetic nervous sys, glucose production, regulation of fluids and electrolytes

Front 11

Describe the effects of immobility on the metabolic sys

Back 11

metabolic rate drops, decreased protein and nitrogen breakdown. Decreased anabolic rate and increased catabolic rate, peripheral glucose uptake declines, circadian rhythm cycle is affected, decreased immune sys

Front 12

Describe the effects of mobility on the musclarskeletal sys

Back 12

increase muscle efficiency, nerve transmission, coordination, posture and flexibility

Front 13

Describe the effects of immobility on the musclarskeletal sys

Back 13

decreased muscle size, tone, strength, flexibility, endurance and stability of skeleton. Increased risk of osteoporosis, contracture formation, fractures, and tissue breakdown.

Front 14

Describe the effects of mobility on the respiratory sys

Back 14

increased depth, rate, gas exchange, rate of CO2 excretion and illness prevention

Front 15

describe the effects of immobility on the respiratory sys

Back 15

lung vol, tidal vol, ventil/perfusion ratio, and chest/lung expansion changes. decreases in comliance, risk for alveoli collapse, gas exchange, bacterial buildup and hypoxemia

Front 16

Describe the effects of mobility on the GI sys

Back 16

increased appetite and intestinal tone

Front 17

Describe the effects of immobility on the GI sys

Back 17

disturbance in appetite, altered protein metabolism, weight gain, slow intestinal movement and altered digestion and utilization of nutrients

Front 18

What is the lovetts scale?

Back 18

a test that grades muscle strength from 0-no evidence of muscle contractility to 5- normal with unimpaired ROM and full resistance

Front 19

What is the Functional Independence Measure (FIM)?

Back 19

a test that indicates ability. Attempts to quantify what the person actually does, whatever the diagnosis or impairment. eg. ADL's, sphincter control, cognition etc.

Front 20

What is the Gordon's Functional Health Patterns test?

Back 20

A test for musclarskeletal assessment. Usually used in rehab measures and grades from 0-4
