Chapter 1-26 Complete Guide .
patients and clients typically seek out or are referred for PT because of physical impairments
associated with movement disorders caused by (3) - ANSWER: injury
disease
health-related conditions
list (3) reasons why an individual with no impairments or functional deficits would seek out PT
services - ANSWER: improve overall level of fitness
improve quality of life
reduce risk of injury or disease
what is almost always a fundamental component of PT services provided - ANSWER: an individually
designed therapeutic exercise program
what is the ULTIMATE goal of a therex program? - ANSWER: symptom free movement during basic to
complex physical activities
the systemic, planned performance of bodily movements, postures, or physical activities intended to
provide a pt/client with the means to:
-remediate or prevent impairments
-improve, restore or enhance physical fxn
-prevent or reduce health-related risk factors
-optimize overall health status, fitness or sense of well-being - ANSWER: therapeutic exercise
what is the difference b/w a pt and a client? - ANSWER: A patient is an individual with impairments
and functional deficits diagnosed by a physical therapist and is receiving physical therapy care to
improve function and prevent disability.
A client is an individual without diagnosed dysfunction who engages in physical therapy services to
promote health and wellness and to prevent dysfunction.
shoud all individuals receiving PT be passive or active participants? - ANSWER: active
The ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move the body (center of mass)
within the available base of support without falling; the ability to move the body in equilibrium with
gravity via interaction of the sensory and motor systems. - ANSWER: balance
The ability to perform moderate-intensity, repetitive, total body movements (walking, jogging,
cycling, swimming) over an extended period of time - ANSWER: cardiopulmonary fitness or
cardiopulmonary endurance
what are the (6) interrelated components of physical fxn - ANSWER: muscle performance
balance/postural equilibrium
stability
neuromuscular control/coordination
mobility/flexibility
cardiopulmonary/endurance
The ability to move freely, without restriction; used interchangeably with mobility. - ANSWER:
flexibility
, -the correct timing and sequencing of muscle firing combined with the appropriate intensity of
muscular contraction leading to the effective initiation, guiding, and grading of movement.
-basis of smooth, accurate, efficient movement and occurs at a conscious or automatic level. -
ANSWER: coordination
The ability of structures or segments of the body to move or be moved in order to allow the
occurrence of range of motion (ROM) for functional activities (functional ROM - ANSWER: mobility
PROM is dependent on ?
AROM requires? - ANSWER: soft tissue (contractile and non-contractile) extensibility
neuromuscular activation
-the capacity of muscle to produce tension and do physical work.
-encompasses strength, power, and muscular endurance. - ANSWER: muscle performance
Interaction of the sensory and motor systems that enables synergists, agonists and antagonists, as
well as stabilizers and neutralizers to anticipate or respond to proprioceptive and kinesthetic
information and, subsequently, to work in correct sequence to create coordinated movement -
ANSWER: neuromuscular control
The ability of the neuromuscular system through synergistic muscle actions to hold a proximal or
distal body segment in a stationary position or to control a stable base during superimposed
movement - ANSWER: stability
the maintenance of proper alignment of bony partners of a joint by means of passive and dynamic
components - ANSWER: joint stability
a constant force that affects the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and circulatory systems - ANSWER:
gravity
mposed forces and physical stresses that are excessive can cause (2) - ANSWER: acute injuries
(sprains, fractures)
chronic conditions (repetitive stress disorders)
absence of forces on the body can cause (3) - ANSWER: degeneration
degradation
deformity
absence of normal weight bearing associated with prolonged bed rest or immobilization weakens (2) -
ANSWER: muscle
bone
Prolonged inactivity leads to decreased efficiency of which systems (2)? - ANSWER: pulmonary
circulatory
involve the application of carefully graded physical stresses and forces that are imposed on impaired
body systems, specific tissues, or individual structures in a controlled, progressive, safely executed
manner to reduce physical impairments and improve function. - ANSWER: therapeutic exercise
intervention
therapeutic exercise interventions:
___________conditioning and reconditioning
___________performance exercises
___________techniques
___________control
