Proper positioning is critical to the prevention of pressure injuries and contractures. When the patient is in the supine position, with knees bent for prolonged periods of time, what is a common contracture that you want to prevent? (Assume hips are in a neutral position.) Knee extension contracture Dorsiflexion contracture Knee flexion contracture Hip internal rotation contracture
An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.
Why do men have higher grip strength than women? Include the concept of exercise physiology.
