Sensory Perception /
Musculoskeletal Disorders
Q1
What systems must be integrated for purposeful movement and proper body alignment?
CORRECT ANSWER Fully integrated functioning musculoskeletal and nervous system
CLINICAL RATIONALE
● The nervous system initiates and coordinates movement; the musculoskeletal system executes it.
● Disruption anywhere along the pathway (brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, bones, joints) impairs
mobility.
Q2
What are the three components of normal movement and alignment?
CORRECT ANSWER Body alignment and posture; Balance; Coordinated body movement
CLINICAL RATIONALE
● Proper alignment reduces strain on muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
● Balance requires a wide base of support and low center of gravity.
● Postural reflexes (sensory, proprioception, visual, extensor) maintain position at rest and during movement.
Q3
What are cardiovascular consequences of impaired mobility?
CORRECT ANSWER Reduced cardiac capacity; Decreased cardiac output; Orthostatic hypotension;
Venous stasis; Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
CLINICAL RATIONALE
● Immobility reduces venous return and cardiac workload, leading to decreased cardiac output.
● Venous stasis is a key component of Virchow's triad, increasing DVT risk.
● Ambulation is the best prevention for DVT; use of sequential compression devices (SCDs) when immobile.
, Q4
What are respiratory consequences of impaired mobility?
CORRECT ANSWER Reduced lung expansion; Atelectasis; Pooling of respiratory secretions
CLINICAL RATIONALE
● Atelectasis (alveolar collapse) leads to hypoxemia and risk of pneumonia.
● Deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, and position changes help prevent respiratory complications.
Q5
What are musculoskeletal consequences of impaired mobility?
CORRECT ANSWERReduction in muscle mass and atrophy; Contracture of joints; Bone
demineralization
CLINICAL RATIONALE
● Muscle atrophy begins within 24-48 hours of immobility; contractures develop over time.
● Bone demineralization (disuse osteoporosis) increases fracture risk.
● Passive and active range of motion (ROM) exercises help maintain joint function and prevent contractures.
Q6
What are consequences of impaired sensory perception?
CORRECT ANSWER Reduced quality of life; Falls, burns, cold injuries, pressure injuries (risk for
injury); Impaired relationships; Depression & anxiety; Social isolation & loss of self-worth;
Financial burdens
CLINICAL RATIONALE
● Sensory deficits significantly increase fall risk in older adults.
● Hearing loss is associated with social isolation and depression.
● Vision impairment increases risk of medication errors and difficulty managing chronic conditions.
Q7
What is the difference between sensory reception and sensory perception?
CORRECT ANSWERReception: receiving data from internal/external environment through the senses;
Perception: conscious process of selecting, organizing, interpreting data from the senses into
meaningful information
CLINICAL RATIONALE
● A functional sensory pathway requires: stimulus, receptor, nervous pathway to brain, and functioning brain to
translate impulse into sensation.
● Damage anywhere along this pathway causes sensory impairment.
