Study Notes

Patient Mobility and Support

  • Small support devices can enhance stability for patients, preferable to cane and crutches.
  • Facilitating a patient's movement from one location to another is crucial for care.

Alignment and Posture

  • Proper positioning aligns the head and spine, promoting comfort and health.

Cognitive and Physical Limitations

  • Limitations in mental functioning and skills are referred to as certain disabilities.
  • Brain chemical or electrical system failures can lead to cognitive impairments.

Specific Conditions and Disorders

  • Tetanus is caused by the anaerobic spore-forming bacterium Clostridium tetani.
  • Chronic progressive hereditary diseases of the nervous system can result in dementia.
  • A slowly progressive neurological movement disorder affects motor function.

Inflammation and Symptoms

  • Inflammation of membranes can indicate underlying health issues.
  • Symptoms are often more indicative than the disease itself, highlighting the importance of diagnosis.

Various Diseases and Conditions

  • The term "sacred disease" is historically associated with epilepsy.
  • Nonspecific terms may refer to conditions affecting the kidneys, skin, and lungs.
  • Arthritis refers specifically to the inflammation of joints.

Muscle and Movement Disorders

  • Muscular dystrophy is characterized by a gradual weakening of body muscles.
  • Brain paralysis indicates significant impairment in motor function.
  • Muscular diseases may present generalized symptoms affecting motor cells and muscles.

Vision and Eye Health

  • Cataracts cause clouding of the eye's natural lens, affecting vision.
  • Glaucoma is an ocular condition defined by optic nerve damage.

Vision Abnormalities

  • Farsightedness (hyperopia) occurs when distant objects are seen more clearly than close ones.
  • Nearsightedness (myopia) allows clear vision of nearby objects while distant objects appear blurry.

Speech and Hearing Devices

  • Hearing aids amplify speech and environmental sounds using a microphone.
  • Chronic inner ear disorders may result in vertigo, affecting balance.

Performance and Communication

  • Apraxia is the inability to perform previously learned movements.
  • Aphasia encompasses speech loss, highlighting communication barriers.
  • Dysarthria signifies difficulty in speaking due to muscular control issues.

Health and Disability Concepts

  • Defenses against threats posed by disabilities include various adaptive measures.
  • Impairments lead to disabilities, resulting in loss or abnormalities at the organ level.

Physical and Mental Conditions

  • A person may have physical and mental conditions that limit movement, sensing, or activation.

Corneal Condition

  • An irregularity in the cornea's curvature can lead to vision problems.
