  • Front
  • Back
permanent contraction of a muscle. If pt doesn’t have exercise or joint motion, or good posture, this may occur
contractures
informs brain of the location of a limb
Proprioceptor or kinesthetic sense
Factors affecting body alignment and mobility:
-growth and development, physical health, mental health, lifestyle variables, fatigue and stress, and external factors such as weather, influence a person’s posture, movement, and daily activity level.
muscle shortening and active movement. Carrying out ADLs, independently performing range of motion exercises, jogging and walking. Benefits-increased muscle mass, tone and strength, improved joint mobility, increased cardiac and respiratory function, increased circulation and osteoblastic activity
Isotonic
involves muscle contractions w/o shortening. No movement. Contractions of the quadriceps and gluteal muscles. Benefits-increased muscle mass, tone, strength, increased circulation, and increased osteoblastic activity.
Isometric exercise
involves muscle contractions w/ resistance. Go through range of motion.
Isokinetic
state of being bent
flexion
state of being in a straight line
extension
lateral movement of the body part away from the midline of the body. (arm raising)
abduction
movement of body part toward midline of the body
adduction
assumption of prone position (palm is prone when facing downward)
pronation
assumption of the supine position (person laying on back)
supination
semisitting position-head of the bed is elevated 45-60 degrees. used to promote cardiac and respiratory functioning
fowlers position
head of the bed elevated only 30 degrees
semi-fowlers position
complication resulting from extended plantar functioning
footdrop
cond. resulting in muscle wasting and decreased physical energy from movement and work
negative energy balance
absence of strength secondary to nervous impairment
paralysis
impaired muscle strength or weakness
paresis
temporary fall in BP assoc. w/ assuming an upright position (postural hypotension)
orthostatic hypotension
fixation or immobilization of a joint
ankylosis
decrease in the size of a body structure
atrophy
the prescribed or unavoidable restriction of movement

causes of immobility
pain
motor function impairment(arthritis, MS, Parkinson's, CVA)
