section of GPTP

broken down into specific diagnostic groups by major body systems
PPP 4 body systems
musculoskeletal
neuromuscular
cardiopulmonary
integumentary

comorbidities may span systems
health
inconsistently defined

disease-free state
state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being

continuum: death<<<health<<<healthier<<<unobtainable ideal

dynamic, interactive
4 states of health
biologic, psychologic, spiritual, sociologic
biologic
physical state
psychologic
mood, emotion, personality
spiritual
religious needs
sociologic
interaction between someone & their social environment
illness
deviation from healthy state

perception & response to unwellness
disease
biologic / psychologic process resulting in malfunction of body organ / system

yields objective data
incidence
# new cases of a condition over a time period compared to # of at-risk people in a population
prevalence
# of all cases of a condition at a point in time compared to the # of at-risk in a population
natural history (of a disease)
describes its progression over time

individuals vary around a norm
the typical variance around a norm can vary in width
acute illness
rapid onset, short duration
typically responsive to treatment, self-limiting
subacute
a time course between acute & chronic
varies by condition

flare up of chronic condition
acute illness sequence
onset of physical symptoms
cognitive awareness of symptoms
emotional response (e.g. denial, fear, anxiety)
dependency (if person accepts care from others)
recovery / rehab
chronic illness
1 or more of

permanent impairment / disability
residual physical / cognitive disability
need for special rehab / long-term medical management
factors that influence psychologic aspects
premorbid profile is strongest influence on psych reaction to illness

extent of illness
symptoms present
psych symptoms w/ organic foundation
those that stem from physical changes

memory impairment
personality changes
loss of impulse control
mood disorders
organic symptom
stems from physiologic consequence of medication or medical condition
Disability
men < women
young < old
Nagi Disablement Model
pathology produces pain / impairment that lead to fx limitations / disability
4 Nagi components
disease / pathology

impairment

functional limitation

disability
impairment (Nagi)
loss or abnormality at level of tissue, visceral, or body system

temp or perm
functional limitation
those that restrict someone's actions
disability
limitation of physical / mental fx in social context

behavior patterns that emerge over long periods to cope with with insurmountable fxl limitation
ICF
International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health

framework provided by WHO to class & code health info & provide standardized int'l language

describes how people live with their health condition
ICF replaced...
ICIDH

revised to include host factors: demographics, environment, psychologic status, etc.
5 components of ICF
body fx
body structures
activities & participation
environmental factors
personal factors
ICF language
based on enablement
body functions & structures
physiologic or psychologic functions of body systems or anatomical parts
impairments (ICF)
problems in body function / structure
activity
execution of tasks & actions
activity limitations
difficulties in execution of activities
participation
involvement in life situations
participation restrictions
problems with real life situations
secondary conditions / impairments
may arise from limitation of activity / participation
cognitive disability
can be linked to causes that present a barrier to treatment
executive function
cortical fx in formulation of planning & goals, initiate, monitor, maintain behavior

may appear inert or apathetic (confused w/ depression)
complex problem solving
concrete thought, can't determine relevancy, misapplication of rules, difficulty generalizing across situations
information processing
impacts efficient transfer of information
memory deficits
failure to store or retrieve information

tend to be acquired
learning disability
difficulty in acquiring new material in a person of near-normal intelligence
PT strategy for decr executive fx
more active role in maintaining treatment, education caregivers, monitor more closely
PT strategy for decr complex problem solving
fragment treatment into teachable steps
repetition
avoid abstractions
PT strategy for slow info processing
slow presentation rate
remove distractions
present 1 type of info
verify understanding
PT strategy for memory deficits
verify no learning or emotional disorder
use external aids & multichannel approach
determine which channels work best for the person
PT strategy for learning disabilities
avoid written material
medical vs disablement model
medical
diagnosis, treatment

disablement
impact on functioning & performance
extends scope of medical model
Germ theory
Part I
Pasteur: specific microorganisms cause particular infectious diseases

Part II
organism success relative to competing organisms
germ theory & disease
some chronic diseases previously considered hereditary, environmental, or multifactorial now known to have associations with infectious pathogens
biomedical model
disease explained as result of malfunctioning organs or cells

focus on causality

doesn't include psychosocial components
multicausal theory
disease development depends on factors related to stress, diet, lifestyle

interventions focus on relationship of individual with ex & in ternal environments
homeostasis theory
injury occurs if cells or tissues are forced to adapt beyond their limitations

permanent disequilibrium may result
general adaptation syndrome
builds on homeostasis theory

describes stress responses with common symptoms regardless of diagnosis

stress causes disease via excessive physical demands that alter hormonal function
psychosocial theory
disease in terms of physiologic, psychologic, social factors
psychoneuroimmunology theory
PNI model

studies disease in terms of behavior & neural, endocrine, enteric, & immune systems
energy medicine
macroscopic quantum coherence
health promotion
shift of focus from intervention to wellness & prevention

involves self-responsibility, nutritional awareness, stress reduction & management, physical fitness

from pre-birth through death
Healthy People 2010
ongoing comprehensive public health planning program
primary prevention
remove / reduce disease risk factors
secondary prevention
promote early disease detection, use preventive measures to avoid complications
tertiary prevention
