Document Summary
Impaired muscle development: injury could lead to msk malfxn: damage to cns: parts that are related to voluntary movement results in impaired body mobility hemiplegia ( muscle paralysis) or hemiparesis (muscle weakness) - injury above 3rd thoracic vertebrae is quadriplegia ( tetraplegia with four limb paralysis) and injury below reults in paraplegia ( two limb paralysis: direct trauma to the msk system:could lead to bruises, contusions, sparins and fractures. Fracture ( disruption in the bone tissue continuity)- may require immobilizing the limb to promote healing and restoration- this temp immobilization may result in muscle atrophy. Mobility-immobilty: mobility: the person"s ability to move about freely, bed rest: intervention that restricts pts to bed for therapeutic reasons generally to reduce.
