Occupations

Everyday activities that people do to bring meaning to life, including ADLs, IADLs,
rest and sleep, education, work, play leisure, health management, and social
participation

Occupational Performance

Act of completing meaningful activites

Performance skills

goal-directed actions that contribute to occupational performance

Motor Skills

Type of performance skill: _____ skills rely on underlying musculoskeletal structures to coordinate movement (reaching, stabilizing, manipulating, etc)

Cognitive Skills

Type of performance skill: _____ skills that deal with cognitive functions (navigating and organzing

Social Interaction Skills

Type of performance skill: _____ skills that involve emotional and psychosocial functions (speaking, communicating, etc)

Functional Anatomy

Body structure that contribute to the movement we engage in during our daily functions

Purposeful Movement

Functional motion available at the joints that is involve in occupational performance

Kinesiology

the scientific study of human movement. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including: 

• Anatomy: The structure and function of the body's muscles, bones, and joints

• Physiology: The processes and mechanisms that underlie movement

• Biomechanics: The forces and mechanics involved in movement

• Motor control: The coordination and control of movements

• Psychology: The cognitive and behavioral aspects of movement 

Study discipline: _____ - how bones and muscles work together

Physiology

Study discipline: _____ - how muscles and nerves work together

Biomechanics

Study discipline: _____ - science of the action of forces on the living body

remedial; occupational performance

The biomechanical frame of reference (FOR) takes a _____ approach that focuses on impairments limiting _____ _____

1. Prevent

2. Restore

3. Compensate/adapt

The main goals of biomechanical FOR

1. _____ deterioration and maintain existing movements

2. _____ movements

3. _____/_____ for loss of movement—all in support of occupational performance

movement; strength

The Biomechanical FOR focuses on ______ and _____

Arthrokinematics

movement happening at joint

Osteokinematics

gross movement at bone - focus of this class

Manual Muscle Testing

Name of Test: _____ ______ Testing

A test performed via the application of external resistance by the practitioner, in an attempt to stress a specific muscle(s) to determine whether that muscle is sufficiently active/strong enough to meet the demands of daily activity (including sport)

Joint

a connection between two adjacent bones

Flexion

→ Bending a joint to decrease the angle between two bones (e.g., bending the elbow).

Extension

→ Straightening a joint to increase the angle between two bones (e.g., straightening the knee).

Abduction

→ Movement away from the midline of the body (e.g., lifting arm sideways).

Adduction

→ Movement toward the midline of the body (e.g., lowering arm back to side).

Protraction

→ Moving a body part forward (e.g., pushing the jaw or shoulders forward).

Retraction

→ Moving a body part backward (e.g., pulling the jaw or shoulders back).

Ulnar Deviation

→ Tilting the wrist toward the little finger (ulna side).

Radial Deviation

→ Tilting the wrist toward the thumb (radius side).

Internal (medial) Rotation

→ Rotating a limb toward the body's midline (e.g., turning leg inward).

External (Lateral) Rotation

→ Rotating a limb away from the body's midline (e.g., turning leg outward)

Elevation

→ Lifting a body part upward (e.g., shrugging shoulders).

Depression

→ Lowering a body part downward (e.g., returning shoulders to rest).

Upward Rotation

→ Scapula rotates so the glenoid fossa faces up (e.g., raising arm overhead).

Downward Rotation

→ Scapula rotates so the glenoid fossa faces down (e.g., lowering the arm).

Lateral Flexion

→ Bending the trunk or neck to the side (e.g., tilting head toward shoulder).

Pronation, supination

______
→ Rotating the forearm so the palm faces down.

_____
→ Rotating the forearm so the palm faces up.
