Study Notes
Objectives of the Lecture
- Understand the definition and purpose of therapeutic exercise.
- Recognize aspects that contribute to physical function.
- Enumerate different types of therapeutic exercise interventions.
- Overview of the disablement process and related models.
- Introduction to the patient management model in therapy.
- Learn concepts of motor learning relevant to therapeutic exercise.
Definition of Therapeutic Exercise
- Systematic and planned movements aiming to:
- Remediate or prevent physical impairments.
- Improve or restore physical function.
- Reduce health-related risk factors.
- Enhance overall health, fitness, and well-being.
Aspects of Physical Function
- Independence in daily activities is influenced by physical, psychological, and social factors.
- Physical functioning incorporates various interconnected performance areas.
Types of Therapeutic Exercise Interventions
- Aerobic conditioning and reconditioning for cardiovascular health.
- Muscle performance enhancements: strength, power, and endurance.
- Stretching techniques for muscle length and joint mobility.
- Neuromuscular control exercises for posture and movement awareness.
- Stability exercises focusing on postural control and body mechanics.
- Balance training to improve agility and coordination.
- Relaxation and breathing exercises to promote respiratory health.
- Task-specific functional training tailored to patient needs.
Understanding Disablement
- Disablement describes the impact of conditions (acute, chronic, or congenital) on body systems, affecting performance in daily roles.
- Effective care requires understanding and addressing the disabling effects of conditions.
Models of Disablement
- Pathology/Pathophysiology: Pertains to disruptions affecting homeostasis due to diseases or conditions.
- Impairments: Outcomes from pathological conditions, reflecting abnormalities in body systems (musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, integumentary).
- Functional Limitations: Results from impairments, indicating reduced ability to perform motor skills efficiently.
- Disability: Inability to perform or participate in activities perceived as normal, impacting daily life and quality of life.
Patient Management Model
- Comprehensive approach guiding practitioners through systematic steps to maximize patient function and recovery.
Concepts of Motor Learning
- Exercises are motor tasks that require learning for effective performance.
- Motor learning involves the permanent acquisition and retention of skills through practice.
- Differentiates between motor performance (skill acquisition) and learning (acquisition with retention).
Types of Motor Tasks
- Discrete Tasks: Clear start and end points (e.g., lifting weights, doing push-ups).
- Serial Tasks: Series of discrete movements in sequence (e.g., using a fork to eat).
- Continuous Tasks: Ongoing movements without distinct boundaries (e.g., walking, cycling).
Factors Influencing Motor Learning
- Importance of pre-practice considerations for effective learning.
- Role of practice in skill acquisition.
- Feedback mechanisms enhance motor learning effectiveness.
