moving the bones of the forearm so that the palm of the hand faces downward when held in front of the body

carry the major load as they keep the body upright

is the term used to describe awareness of posture, movement and changes in equilibrium and the knowledge of position, weight and resistance of objects in relation to the body

(an imaginary vertical line drawn through the center of gravity) passes through the center of gravity (the point which all of bodys mass is centered) and the base of support (the foundation on which the body rest).

of exercise can be measured by target heart rate ,talk test or borg scale of perceived exertion.

3 times a week, total of 30 minutes a day, measured by the heart rate, talk test and borg test. Moderate intensity

The flexor muscles are stronger than the extensor muscles so when a person is inactive, the joints are pulled into a flexed (bent) position. The muscle could become permanently shortened and the joint fixed in a flexed position (contracture).

balanced, smooth, purposeful movement

Cerebral cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia

sends out a signal and tells us to pick the cup up. It initiates voluntary motor activity

translations instructions, tells which muscle what to do. With a cerebellum injury, the client movements would become clumsy, unsure, and uncoordinated

maintains posture

decreases muscle atropy, bone density and strength is maintained through weight bearing. The stress between weight bearing and high impact movement maintains a balance between osteoblasts ( bone building cells) and osteoclats ( bone reabsorption and breakdown cells).

without the stress of weight bearing activity, the bones demineralize. They are depleted of calcium, which gives the bones strength and density.

unused muscles atrophy ( decrease in size), losing most of their strength and normal functions.

irreversible except by surgery, a shortening of the muscle and fixing of the joint. Ex. Foot drop.

without movement the collagen tissues at the joint becomes permanently immobile (ankylosed)

• decreased mobility creates a imbalance in the autonomic nervous system;
• immobilized person may experience tachycardia with even minimal exertion, edema thrombus formation. Venous vasodilation, and statis

decreased respiratory movement, pooling of respiratory secretions,atelectasis( blocking of a bronchiole), hypostatic pneumonia,

decreased metabolic rate, negative nitrogen balance(anabolism and catabolism), anorexia (loss of appetite) ,negative calcium balance,

stopping or slowing down of flow

stones

accumulation, urinary incontinence or infection.

Gastrointestinal system and Integumentary system, reduced skin tugor, skin breakdown

• level 1 - walk regular pace, ground level, shortness of breath above normal after climbing a flight of stairs
• Level 2 - walk one city block, one level ground, indefinitely, climb one flight of stairs slowing without stopping.
• Level 3 – walk no more than 50 feet on level ground without stopping, unable to climb one flight of stairs without stopping
• Level 4 - dyspnea - a fatigue at rest

natural bowel movement

impaired physical mobility, impaired bed mobility, impaired walking, impaired wheelchair mobility, impaired transferred alerts

lift no more weight than 51 pds,firm mattress, soft pillow, knees slightly higher than hips when sitting; to lift, stand with feet apart , wide base, let legs bear most of the burden.

black lying. Or supine position. head and shoulders slightly elevated. Used to facilitate healing

client lies on abdomen, head turned to one side, pillow under abdomen and head. Promotes drainage from the mouth and is esp useful for unconscious clients.Should only be used when the clients back is aligned correctly.

side lying, pillow under head, between knees, and in front of chest. Promotes good back alignment, reduces Lordosis, good for resting and sleeping clients

posture halfway between prone and lateral, one arm by pillow and one arm behind and down.towel role for feet. Helps with drainage,

Normal blood sugar is 60-120. For elders who have poor circulation- warm their hands with a warm washcloth for a few minutes.

isotonic exercises in which the client moves each joint in the body through its complete range, maximally stretching all muscle groups within each plane over the joint

the type and amount of exercise or daily activities an individual is able to perform

refers to a person's pattern of exercise, activity, leisure, and recreation

any activity during which the body takes in more or an equal amount of oxygen than it expends

the act of walking

a process in which simple substances are converted by the body cells into more complex substances (e.g., building tissue, positive nitrogen balance)

involves activity in which the muscles cannot draw out enough oxygen from the blood stream; used in endurance training

lack of appetite

wasting away; decrease in size of organ or tissue (e.g., muscle)

the area on which an object rests

strict confinement to bed (complete bed rest), or the client may be allowed to use a bedside commode or have bathroom privileges
