mobility
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Aerobic | With Oxygen, a form of exercise or cardio that increases heart rate and oxygen supply (running, hiking, bike riding |
| Anaerobic | Without oxygen, a form of exercise in which the body produces energy without oxygen (HIIT, high intensity interval training, effective for fat loss) |
| Isometric | activating muscles without movement- planks |
| isotonic | involve activating muscles while moving joints (isolating muscles) and applying a constant amount of weight- squats, pushups, pull ups, deadlift, bicep curls, presses; all with weights |
| Adduction | Movement TOWARDS the body |
| Abduction | Movement AWAY from the body |
| Flexion | to bend TOWARDS, flex |
| Extension | to stretch or extend out |
| Flaccid | weak or limp |
| Ataxia | when damage to the brain causes impaired coordination or muscle usage manifesting in jerking, uncoordinated, or weakened muscle movements |
| Spasticity | increased or abnormal muscle tone which interferes with normal movement-damage to nerve pathways causing stiffness |
| Spasm | involuntary contraction of muscle which is painful |
| Para/Quadriplegia | lacking movement, this can be para, two limbs involved, or quadra four limbs involved-usually from injury |
| Contracture | A shortening of joints which causes muscles, tendons, ligaments to become stiff and unmovable, permanent stiffness and malformation occur, prevents normal movement, usually from disease, disuse, scarring, nerve damage, or injury |
| Foot drop | difficulty lifting the front of the foot due to nerve/muscle injury |
| Neurology | the brain sends signals to the muscles through the nerves and spinal cord |
| Muscular System | muscles contract (to allow movement) in response to signals from nerves, muscle attached to bones by tendons, ligaments attach bone to bone |
| Purpose of bones | -provide a framework for the body - protect organs - produce blood cells - store minerals |
| Bones | There are 206 bones in the body |
| Tendons | connect muscle to bone |
| ligaments | connect bone to bone |
| orthopedic | the study/practice of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles |
| body mechanics | the way we move which respects proper alignment and best avoids injury |
| fitness/exercise | movement which enhances enhances metabolism, health and development. Increases mental awareness, circulation, and flexibiity |
| immobility and the brain | Immobility slows down affect, mood, and response time for impulses, electrical current |
| immobility and the skeleton | Immobility causes stiffness and alteration in framework (foot drop, contracture) |
| immobility and the skin | Immobility causes stiffness and alteration in framework (foot drop, contracture) |
| immobility and the respiratory system | Immobility decreases lung expansion and causes atelectasis and increased risk of pneumonia |
| Immobility and the cardiac system | Immobility causes decreased blood pressure, heart rate, circulation, pulses, and orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure with movement of position, ex. Moving from lying to sitting to standing) |
| immobility and the gastrointestinal system | Immobility causes decreased peristalsis causing anorexia, constipation and fecal impaction |
| Immobility and the genitourinary system | Immobility causes backflow of urine and increase risk of stones, retention from lack of pressure on the bladder from gravity and delayed movement to get to the bathroom, incontinence |
| immobility and metabolism | Immobility decreases metabolic rate and calcium resorption rate-decreased use of glucose and decrease in insulin sensitivity (the body loses its ability to get glucose for energy into the cells). |
| immobility and psychosocial-mental health | Health-Increased risk of depression from lack of interaction, productivity, and isolation |
