deconditioning, loss of muscle strength, functional decline, heightened risk of falls, hospitalization
gynoid obesity
fat around hips + thighs ---> less risk of disease
functional strength
ability of the nm system to produce, reduce, or control forces during functional activities in a smooth coordinated manner
Waist Hip Ratio (WHR)
> ,95 + .86 is high risk
CI's to stretching
Advanced age, fracture, osteoporosis, acute local inflammation, hematoma, myositis ossificans, integrity of jt. hypermobility, functional contractures, sharp acute pain with movement, if shortened tissue provides jt. stability
elicits higher elevation of HR, BP, v02 max than anything else
THA approaches
1. posterolateral approach - glut max split, highest jt. instability. 2. direct lateral - post op weakness + positive trendelenberg's 3. anterolateral - for ppl with muscle imbalances, hip flexion + IR
benefits of resistance exercise
enhance muscle performance, increased CT strength, greater bone density, reduced risk of soft tissue injury, enhanced physical performance, enhanced physical well being
