Study Notes
Musculoskeletal and Nervous System Balance
- The musculoskeletal and nervous systems work together to maintain balance, posture, and body alignment.
- Body alignment refers to the relationship between body parts.
- Body balance is when the center of gravity is over a wide base of support.
- Friction is a force that opposes movement.
Spinal Curvature
- Scoliosis is a structural curvature of the spine with vertebral rotation.
- Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder causing porous, short, and deformed bones.
- Osteomalacia is a metabolic disease causing compact and spongy bones.
- Arthritis is an inflammatory joint disease causing inflammation or destruction of the synovial membrane.
Joint Degeneration
- Joint degeneration differs from arthritis in that it results from non-inflammatory disease.
- It involves overgrowth of bone at the articular ends.
- It mostly affects weight-bearing joints.
Bedridden Patient Care
- Raising the patient's bed height widens the nurse's base of support, preventing a shift in the base of support and fatigue.
- Maintaining proper body alignment and posture through proper technique to maintain balance.
- A wide base of support and a lower center of gravity help prevent balance issues.
- Manual lifting should be avoided whenever possible. Patient-handling equipment should be used instead.
Exercise and Older Adults
- Exercise programs for older adults should consider their interests, capabilities, limitations, and current activity levels.
- Adjustments may be needed to prevent exercise-related problems.
- Daily living activities can be used as a way to accumulate recommended amounts of exercise.
Exercise Program Planning
- Exercise programs should be individualized, incorporating aerobic exercise, resistance training to develop strength and tone and maintain healthy bones.
Patient Positioning and Exercise
- Assess weight and assistance necessary before repositioning.
- Manual lifting should be the last resort.
- Avoid overexertion or forcing joints beyond their range of motion.
Exercise for Impaired Mobility
- Passive range of motion exercises are crucial for patients with limited or no voluntary movement to maintain joint mobility and prevent contractures.
- The type and intensity of exercise should be appropriate for the patient's condition and needs.
- The nurse should monitor vital signs and patient responses during exercise.
