NUR 105 Mobility

• Why mobility?

Answer Mobility is required for optimal health. Changes in mobility can significantly affect physical and physiological health, and function status

• Mobility

Answer Requires enough energy, muscle strength, skeletal stability, joint function, and neuromuscular coordination to be ability to move freely and easily

• Mobility movements

Answer purposeful movement, including gross simple movements, fine motor movements, and coordination

• Mobility relies on

Answer Muscular

-muscles -tendons -ligaments Nervous -neurons Skeletal -bones -joints

• Joints

Answer "Articulations" where two or more bones meet

-provides stability 1 / 2

-skeleton flexibility -provide Range of Motion (ROM)

• Active range of motion

Answer patient performs the exercise to move the joint(s) without any assistance

• Passive range of motion

Answer moving of a joint through its range of motion without exertion by patient, HCP moves patients body manually

• Scope of mobility

Answer

• Complete immobility

• Partial immobility
• Complete/Full mobility

• Physical assessment of mobility

Answer -general ease of movement

-gait & posture -alignment -joint structure & function -muscle mass, tone, strength -endurance

• Cardiovascular effect of immobility

Answer -increase workload of the heart

-increase risk of embolus and orthostatic hypotension
