Document Summary
Intact musculoskeletal and nervous systems are necessary for optimal physical mobility and functioning. Isometric contraction: causes an increase in muscle tension and work but no active movement or muscle shortening: voluntary movement is a combination of isotonic and isometric contractions xi. Muscle movement and posture: leverage: inducing or compelling force that creates a lever xii. Muscle regulation of posture and movement: tone: normal state of balanced muscle tension xiii. D. ) pathological influences on mobility: postural and muscle abnormalities, damage to the cns, direct trauma to the musculoskeletal system, read table 47-1, p. 1131. E. ) safe patient handling: work related msds, comprehensive safe patient handling programs include: ergonomics, patient assessment, algorithms, special equipment, back injury resources, after action review. Increases the risk of uti and renal calculi: renal calculi: ca+ stones that lodge in the renal pelvis or pass through the ureters vi.
