- Understand major muscle groups.
- Understand three characteristics of the normal aging process.
- Understand common medical problems/pathologies addressed by the RNP.
- 2.1: Basic Anatomy and Physiology
- This page explains the systems that enable movement in the body, focusing on joints, muscles, and the nervous system. Joints, including hinge and ball-and-socket types, allow for various movements. Muscles generate movement through contraction, working in pairs as flexors and extensors. Effective movement necessitates opposing muscle actions.
- 2.2: Major Muscle Groups
- This page emphasizes the importance of understanding major muscle groups for supervising exercise programs. It details key muscle groups, such as shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, dorsiflexors, and plantar flexors, highlighting their roles in mobility. Knowledge of these groups is essential for creating effective exercise regimens that enhance movement and functionality.
- 2.3: Aging
- This page outlines the biological and psychosocial facets of aging, noting it as a natural process marked by declines in physical functions such as skin, skeletal strength, muscle mass, and senses. Psychosocial effects can include chronic health issues and shifts in social roles and self-esteem. It emphasizes the importance of positive coping strategies like staying active and managing stress. The discussion underlines that geriatrics is significant for everyone as they grow older.
- 2.4: Medical Problems/Pathologies
- This page compares two orthopedic procedures: Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) and Total Hip Replacement (THR), emphasizing their differences in pain and mobility after surgery. It discusses various weight-bearing statuses during recovery and outlines the characteristics and symptoms of cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), distinguishing between right and left-sided symptoms and highlighting common chronic neurological issues such as judgment impairment and forgetfulness.
- 2.5: Case Studies
- This page presents case studies of four elderly patients needing rehabilitation, each with unique challenges and care plans. Mrs. Connelly aims to regain independence post-fractures; Mrs. Tripper seeks safe home independence despite confusion and falls; Mr. Lowe requires therapy after a stroke for mobility and communication; and Mrs. Wave, facing cognitive decline and memory issues, is supported through Speech-Language Pathology.
