activities of daily living

|
Coordinated body movement:
|
is a result of weight, center of gravity, and balance.
|
|
Weight
|
force exerted on a body by gravity.
|
|
Friction:
|
is a force that occurs in a direction to oppose movement.
Greater the surface area greater the friction. IE-placing client's arms across chest decreases surface area. |
|
Activity tolerance:
|
the kind or and amount of exercise or activity that person is able to perform. Physiological emotional, and developmental factors influence the client's activity tolerance.
|
|
3 categories of exercise:
|
Isotonic, isometric, and resistive isometric.
|
|
Isotonic Exercises:
|
cause muscle contraction and change in muscle length.
Ie-walking, swimming, dance aerobics, jogging, bicycling, and moving arms and legs with light resistance. |
|
Isometric Exercises:
|
involce tightening or tensing of muscles without moving body parts. IE-quadriceps set exercises and contraction of gluteal muscles.
|
|
Synovial joints:
|
true joints, freely moveable, most mobile, numerous, and anatomically complex.
|
|
Skeletal muscles in the body;
|
over 600
|
|
Antagonistic Muscles:
|
bring about movement at the joint.
|
|
Fibrous joints:
|
fit closely together and are fixed, permitting little if any, movement such as the syndesmosis between the tibia and fibia.
|
|
Cartilaginous joints
|
have little movement but are elastic and use cartilage to unite separate body surfaces such as the synchondrosis that attaches the ribs to costal cartilage.
|
|
Synovial joints:
|
freely moveable and are the most mobile, numerous, and anatomically comples.
|
|
Ligaments:
|
are white, shiny, flexible, bands, of flexible bands of fibrous tissue that bind joints and connect bones and cartilage.
