Cards

Term
ACSM Guidelines: Moderate intensity activities
Definition

> 30-60 mins/day

150-300 mins/wk (if can't get 150, as long as possible)

Intensity: 5-6

> 30, > 10 min bouts

Avoid excessive ortho stress (example: aquatic)

Term
ACSM Guidelines: Vigorous intensity activities
Definition

20-30 mins/day

75-150 mins/wk

Intensity: 7-8

> 20 mins

Avoid excessive ortho stress

Term
RPE
Definition

15 and 10 point scale

Also want to monitor HR, BP, RR, Pulsox

Beta-blockers keep HR low, so more accurate to determine exertion

Term
Outcome measures for aerobic capacity/endurance
Definition

6MWT

2MWT

400m WT

2min/3min step test

Term
ACSM Guidelines: Resistance exercise
Definition

> days/wk

between moderate (5-6) and vigorous (7-8)

PRE 8-10 ex major mm groups

8-12 reps

Term
ACSM Guidelines: Flexibility exercises
Definition

> 2 days/wk

moderate (5-6)

sustained stretches for each major mm group

Term
2 min step test
Definition

1 pt every time starting foot hits step

march in place

heigth of step = midpoint of illiac crest and patella

Norms for women age 60-94 are between 107 - 44

Norms for men age 60-90 are between 115 - 52

Term
5 rep chair rise
Definition

community dwelling men 71-79: 13.2s, > 80: 15s

community dwelling women 71-79: 14.4s, > 80: 16.1s

Term
ACSM Guidelines: Balance exercise
Definition

No specific recommendations

SLS, tandem, EC

Term
Outcome measures for balance
Definition
TUG, gait speed, narrow corridor walk, tandem walk, DGI, functional reach, BBS, Tinetti, Rhomberg, ABC scale, Falls efficacy scale
Term
TUG Norms
Definition

< 10s = freely mobile

> 20s = may need AD

>30s = dependence

community dwelling - should be < 12s

Term
Special consideration
Definition
Muscle strengthening/balance precede aerobic in frail people
Term
Inactivity
Definition

2/3 75+

50% 65-74

42% 45-64

Term
AD brain
Definition

 Shrinkage of cerebral cortex and hippocampus

increased size of sulci and ventricles

 

Other areas affected: posterior parietal, inferior and medial temporal, amygdala, entorhinal, anterior nucleus of thalamus, substantia innominata of Meynert

 

Spared areas: brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord, primary sensory and motor areas

Term
Familial AD
Definition

rare autosomal dominant

affects amyloid metabolism - mutations in precursor protein and presenilin genes

early age onset

Term
Sporadic AD
Definition

most common

unknown cause - relationship between aging, genetics, and environmental risk factors

Term
Declarative/Explicit Learning
Definition

supports the learning and retention of facts and the recollection of prior events; requires awareness, attention, and reflection

 

tested using recall/recognition from prior episode, example: patient repeating all steps of w/c --> bed

 

Not used for cognitively impaired

 

Acquisition of info accompanied by awareness of learned info

Term
Procedural/Implicit learning
Definition

Supports acquisition and retention of skilled performance

 

Tested using tasks in which memory is expressed by changes in performance as result of prior experience

 

Nonassociative: habituation & sensitization

Associateive: classical & operant

Procedural

 

Acquisition of info w/o awareness of learned info

Term
Explicit Learning: brain structures
Definition
Medial temporal area - hippocampus and diencephalic nuclei
Term
Impicit learning: brain structures
Definition
Sensorimotor, prefrontal, basal ganglia, cerebellar
Term
Memory loss and motor learning
Definition

Not a direct relationship between ability to learn new declarative info and ability to learn new motor skills

 

ability to learn motor skills retained even with profound declarative memory loss

Term
Habituation
Definition
decrease in responsiveness - repeated exposure to a nonpainful stimulus
Term
Sensitization
Definition
Increased responsiveness - threatening or noxious stimulus
Term
Classical conditioning
Definition
weak stimulus produces response when associated with another strong stimulus
Term
Operant conditioning
Definition

rewarded - repeated

averse - not repeated

trial and error

Term
Systems 3 stage model
Definition

Control degrees of freedom

Novice, Advanced, Expert

Term
Novice stage
Definition

Simplified mvmt to reduce DOF

constraining, coupling, fixing angles of joints at cost of efficiency & flexibility

Term
Advanced stage
Definition

Begin to release additional DOF

joints controlled indep

more adaptable

Term
Expert Stage
Definition

Released all DOF

optimize efficiency of mvmt

Term
Fitts & Posner 3 Stage Model
Definition

Cognitive/declarative, intermediate/association, autonomous/procedural

 

Level of performance proficiency will vary w/ task & environmental demands

Term
Cognitive/Declarative stage
Definition

Basic task learned

Highest level of attention req'd

Term
Intermediate/Association Stage
Definition

Procedures of task become more fluent

Still a bit of attention req'd

Term
Autonomous/Procedural stage
Definition

procedures more automatic, performed rapidly & w/ greater immunity to disruption from outside events

little - no attention req'd

Term
Gentile
Definition

Novice -----------> skilled

explicit goes from high to low

implicit goes from low to high

Term
AD Risk factors
Definition

Age

Vascular

Family hx in 1st degree relative of late onset >75

Family hx of younger onset 65-75

Family histor and ApoE4+

Biomarker + (PET amyloid positive scan)

Autosomal dominant carrier

Term

Definition

Age
