Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

8.9K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Muscular System01:18

The Muscular System

7.9K
The muscular system is essential to the body's overall structure and function, playing a crucial role in movement, stability, and internal processes. It consists of three distinct types of muscle tissue: the skeletal, the smooth, and the cardiac muscles.

Movement Joints in Buildings

487
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Introduction to Joints

4.8K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

Personal Identity01:25

Personal Identity

672
Personal identity is the deeply felt sense of self that individuals cultivate over time, intricately woven from intrinsic qualities they consider essential to their existence—qualities such as morality, intelligence, and friendliness. These attributes serve as vital internal benchmarks, guiding individuals in evaluating whether their actions resonate with their true selves.When personal identity takes center stage in one's life, individuals often emphasize their distinctiveness,...

Summary

Physical therapy can transform society by optimizing movement. Recognizing movement as a physiological system, rather than just an intervention, enhances the profession's role in preventing and treating movement dysfunctions.

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Movement Science
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • The American Physical Therapy Association's 2013 vision emphasizes optimizing movement to transform society.
  • Historically, the profession has focused on movement but not explicitly as a physiological system.
  • Other healthcare professions are recognized by their focus on specific body systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the concept of movement as a physiological system within physical therapy.
  • To discuss the advantages of promoting the 'movement system' over 'movement' alone.
  • To provide a framework for physical therapists' diagnostic and preventive roles.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of the profession's approach to movement.
  • Conceptual analysis of movement as a physiological system.
  • Discussion of current trends shifting focus from pathoanatomy to pathokinesiology.

Main Results:

  • Defining movement as a physiological system offers clearer professional identity and expertise.
  • The 'movement system' concept provides a logical basis for physical therapist diagnoses.
  • Evidence supports a shift towards understanding musculoskeletal conditions through pathokinesiology.

Conclusions:

  • Promoting the 'movement system' aligns with physical therapy's role in prevention and lifelong health.
  • Addressing kinesiopathologic conditions is crucial for a lifespan approach to musculoskeletal health.
  • Physical therapy can enhance societal impact by embracing the movement system framework.
