Front 7

eversion

Back 7

movement of the sole of the foot outward- occurs at the ankle.

Front 8

the three important functions of muscles accomplished through contracton

Back 8

motion.
maintenance of posture.
heat production.

Front 9

afferent neurons

Back 9

convey information from the peripheral receptors to the CNS.

Front 10

efferent neurons

Back 10

convey the response of the CNS, by way of the somatic nervous system, to the skeletal muscles.

Front 11

postural tonus is

Back 11

the sustained contraction of select skeletal muscles that keep the body in an upright position against the force of gravity.

Front 12

body mechanics

Back 12

the application of mechanical laws to the human body, specifically in regard to structure, function and position of the body

Front 13

patient care ergonomics

Back 13

the practice of designing equipment & work tasks to conform to the capability of the worker in relation to patient care.
patient handling tasks are the primary cause of musculoskeletal disorders among nurses.

Front 14

orthopedics

Back 14

the correction or prevention of disorders of body structures used in locomotion.

Front 15

tonus

Back 15

the state of slight muscle contraction.

Front 16

contractures

Back 16

a permanent contraction of a muscle.

Front 17

ADL

Back 17

activities of daily living.

Front 18

congenital or acquired postural abnormalities
scoliosis

Back 18

lateral curvature of the spine, usually occurs mostly in women during adolescence.

Front 19

congenital or acquired postural abnormalities
kyphosis

Back 19

an increased convexity in the curvature of the thoracic spine.

Front 20

flat effect

Back 20

an effect of depression on facial movements in which an individual's face registers no emotion.

Front 21

isotonic exercise

Back 21

involves muscle shortening and active movement.
ex: jogging & independently performing range of motion exercises.

Front 22

isometric exercises

Back 22

involves muscle contraction without any shortening of muscle fibers.
ex: chair exercises involving contractions of the gluteal muscles.

Front 23

isokinetic exercises

Back 23

involves muscle contraction with resistance from an external device.
ex: lifting weights.

Front 24

regular exercise produces the following benefits

Back 24

increased efficiency of the heart.
decreased heart rate and blood pressure.
increased blood flow to all body parts.
increased circulating fibrinolysin(small clot busting proteins)

Front 25

atelectasis

Back 25

incomplete expansion or a collapse of lung tissue that can result from immobility.

Front 26

hypostatic pneumonia

Back 26

a pneumonia that results from immobility and inactivity.

Front 27

atrophy

Back 27

decreased muscle size.

Front 28

ankylosis

Back 28

a consolidation and immobilization of a joint.

Front 29

the two phases of the normal gait

Back 29

stance- when the heel of the right foot strikes the ground.
swing- when the toe of the left foot pushes off and leaves the ground, moving the leg from behind to in front of the body.

Front 30

Range of motion

Back 30

the complete extent of movement of which a joint is normally capable.

Front 31

flaccidity

Back 31

results from disuse or neurologic impairments.
decreased tone of skeletal muscle.

Front 32

spasticity

Back 32

increased tone that interferes with movement. caused by neurologic impairments.

Front 33

paresis

Back 33

impaired muscle strength or weakness.

Front 34

paralysis

Back 34

absence of muscle strenght secondary to nervous impairment.

Front 35

hemiparesis

Back 35

weakness of one half of the body.

Front 36

hemiplegia

Back 36

paralysis of one half of the body.

Front 37

paraplegia

Back 37

paralysis of the legs.

Front 38

quadriplegia

Back 38

paralysis of the arms and legs.

Front 39

Bariatric patients

Back 39

patients with a BMI of 50 or greater.

Front 40

Bariatric transfer aids

Back 40

designed to be used with patients who are obese.

Front 41

gait belt

Back 41

used for transferring patients and assisting with ambulation.
used to help the patient stand and provides stabilization during pivoting.
