ADL
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.
