Study Notes

Physical and Mental Conditions

  • Refers to individuals with conditions that restrict movement, senses, or overall activation.
  • Impairment or disability leads to loss or abnormality in physiological or anatomical functions.

Speech and Communication

  • Difficulty in speaking can be a significant barrier in daily interactions.
  • Loss of speech signifies a complete inability to communicate verbally.

Inner Ear Disorders

  • Chronic disorders of the inner ear can lead to vertigo, affecting balance and spatial orientation.

Vision Conditions

  • Near-sightedness and far-sightedness are common vision impairments affecting focus.
  • An irregular curvature of the cornea causes distortions in sight.
  • A group of ocular conditions is characterized by optic nerve damage, potentially leading to vision loss.
  • Clouding of the eye's natural lens is commonly referred to as cataracts.

Neuromuscular and Movement Disorders

  • Generalized diseases that disrupt motor cells result in conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
  • Cerebral palsy is a type of brain paralysis affecting motor skills and movement.
  • Muscular dystrophy causes progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles.
  • Inflammation of joints is commonly associated with arthritis, which affects mobility and comfort.

Chronic and Progressive Diseases

  • Conditions involving slow progression can lead to significant neurological movement disorders, affecting daily living.
  • Certain hereditary diseases can result in dementia and cognitive decline as they disrupt the nervous system.

Tetanus

  • Caused by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani, tetanus is a serious condition impacting muscle control.

Cognitive and Functional Limitations

  • Limitations in mental functioning may arise from various conditions, substantially affecting daily capabilities.
  • Aligning the head with the spine denotes proper posture and musculoskeletal health.

Patient Mobility and Assistance

  • Transferring a patient from one location to another requires careful handling and support mechanisms.
  • Devices designed for enhanced comfort and stability provide better support than traditional canes and crutches, benefitting individuals with mobility challenges.
