mobility and exercise

what is functional decline?

• the loss of the ability to perfom activities of daily living as a result of illness

• steady loss of strength and muscle tone

• the loss of the ability to perform self care as a result of adverse effects of medication

what is deconditioning?

• physical changes followed by intense hospital treatment

• physiological changes followed by a period of extended rest

• physical changes as a result of medication and disability

what is muscle tone?

• the physical appearance of muscles

• the presence of myosin and actin fibres

• internal state of muscle tension

• internal and external state of muscle tension

body balance is achieved when...

• a centre of gravity is low to the base

• a centre of gravity is balanced over a stable base of support

• a centre of gravity is balanced over a flat surface

friciton is...

• when the skin moves in one direction, and the bones slide along with it

• when force is exerted

• when force is exerted in the same direction

• when force occurs in direction to oppose movement

what is activity tolerance?

• the amount of force that can be exerted on an individual's muscles safely

• the type/amount of exercise an individual can perform safely

• the type/amount of exercise an individual can perform

• the type/amount of exercise an individual is able to safely perform w/o fatigue

select all that apply for isotonic contractions

• cause changes in muscle length via walking, swimming, jogging

• enhances circulatory function, increases muscle tone

• promotes osteoblastic activity

• tensing of muscles w/o moving body parts

select all that apply for Isometric contractions

• tensing of muscles w/o moving parts

• increases muscle tone, mass, and strength

• helpful to those in recovery, improving ROM

• increases osteoblastic activity

select all that apply for resistive isometric exercises

• contracts the muscle, improving muscle tone and strength

• involves pushing agasint a stationary object

• provides sufficent stress against the bones to promote osteoblastic activity

select all that apply for those more susceptible to osteoporosis

• people who consume lots of carbohydrates

• older persons and women

• patients with decreased calcium or decreased metabolsim

• patients with altered bone marrow function and impaired red blood cell function
