|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Is hard nonvascular connective found in the joints as well as in the nose, ear, throax, trachea, and larynx. They function as shock absorbers and reduces friction between moving parts of the joint. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Refers to the correction or prevention of disorders of body structures used in locomotion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Describe the state of slight contraction-the usual state of skeletal muscles. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (permanent contracture of a muscle) if the patient does not have exercise and joint motion and if good posture is not maintained. |
|

Term
| Negative Nitrogen Balance |
|
Definition
| Results in muscle wasting and decreased physical energy for movement and work. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Active exertion of muscles involving the contraction and relaxation of muscle groups. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Involves muscle shortening and active movement. Examples: carrying out ADL's, ROM, swimming, biking, walking, jogging. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Involves muscle contraction without shortening. (There is not movement or only a minimum shortening of muscle fibers). Examples: Contractions of the quads and glute muscles. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Involves muscle contraction with resistance. The resistance is provided at a constant rate by an external device, which has the capacity for variable resistance. Examples: Rehab exercises on knee and elbow injuries and lifting weights. |

Term
|
Definition
| increases tonethat interderes with movement, is also causedby neurologic impairments. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Impaired muscle strength or weakness |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The absence of strength secondary to nervous impairments |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| If maintained for extended periods, plantar flexion can cause an alteration in the lenth of muscles, and the patient may develop a complication. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the patient independently moves joints through their full range of motion (isotonic exercise). |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the patient is unable ro move independently, and the nurse moces each joint through its range of motion. |
|
