Legs hip ANS 90 hip flexion knee straight --- 120 degree with knee bent ---40-45 internal, extension rotation---
30 degree adduction --45 degree abduction--------- 130 degree leg flexion
Glasgow Coma Scale ANS was developed as an accurate and reliable quantitative tool. The GCS is a
standardized, objective assessment that defines the level of consciousness by giving it a numeric value.
The scale is divided into three areas: eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. The three numbers are
added; the total score reflects the functional level of the brain. A fully alert, normal person has a score of 15,
whereas a score of 7 or less reflects coma.
Preventions of Osteoporosis (activity & nutrition) ANS including eating a well-balanced diet, engaging in regular
exercise, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol intake; but at the top of the list is getting enough calcium and
vitamin D. calcium women age 50 and younger need 1000 mg daily, and women age 51 and older need 1200 mg
, daily. Men age 70 and younger need 1000 mg daily, increasing to 1200 mg for age 71 and older. The human body
needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. The amount that you need every day depends on your sex. According to NOF,
women and men under age 50 need 400 to 800 IU daily. For women and men age 51 and older, the amount
increases to 800 to 1000 IU daily.
Age related postural changes ANS older adult more flexion in the spine ..Decreased height is caused by
shortening of the vertebral caused by loss of water content and thinning of the intervertebral disks and by a
decrease in the height of individual vertebrae---------- kyphosis preschool From the side lordosis is common
throughout childhood, appearing more pronounced in children with a protuberant abdomen.
Muscle strength (assessment scale; assessment techniques) ANS 5 Full ROM against gravity, full resistance
Normal
4 Full ROM against gravity, some resistance Good
3 Full ROM with gravity Fair
2 Full ROM with gravity eliminated (passive motion) Poor
1 Slight contraction 10 Trace
0 No contraction 0 Zero Test the strength of the prime-mover muscle groups for each joint. Repeat the motions
that you elicited for active ROM. Now ask the person to flex and hold as you apply opposing force
What is hematopoiesis and location this takes place ANS formation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and
platelets, happens in the bone marrow
Range of motion assessment reproducing sciatic pain ANS Straight Leg Raising or Lasègue Test. These
maneuvers reproduce back and leg pain and help confirm the presence of a herniated nucleus pulposus. Straight
leg raising while keeping the knee extended normally produces no pain. Raise the affected leg just short of the
point where it produces pain. Then dorsiflex the foot (Fig. 22-44).
Lasègue test is positive if it reproduces sciatic pain. If lifting the leg reproduces sciatic pain, it confirms the presence
of a herniated nucleus pulposus
Application of afferent verses efferent sensory ANS afferent= The peripheral nervous system carries sensory
messages to the CNS from sensory receptors efferent= motor messages from the CNS out to muscles and glands,
and autonomic messages that govern the internal organs and blood vessels.
Active verses Passive motion ANS passive motion -with the person's muscles relaxed while you move the body
part. active (voluntary) ROM while modeling the movements yourself as appropriate; thus you can use your own
movements as a control.
