Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

144
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...

Aging01:26

Aging

89
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

One-Degree-of-Freedom System01:24

One-Degree-of-Freedom System

519
In mechanical engineering, one-degree-of-freedom systems form the basis of a wide range of electrical and mechanical components. Using these models, engineers can predict the behavior of various parts in a larger system, which gives them insight into how different forces interact with each other.
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...

Hierarchy of Motor Control01:18

Hierarchy of Motor Control

2.9K
The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

2.1K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Muscle Coordination and Action01:24

Muscle Coordination and Action

1.6K
Muscle coordination is a complex and finely tuned process essential for smooth and purposeful movements like flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and rotation. The human body orchestrates the actions of various muscles working in concert, each with a specific role. Four functional types describe how muscles work together: agonist, antagonist, synergist, and fixator.
Agonists
Agonist muscles, often called prime movers, are the primary muscles responsible for producing a specific movement....

Area of Science:

  • Geriatric physical therapy
  • Movement system science
  • Clinical diagnostics

Background:

  • The American Physical Therapy Association is developing movement system diagnoses to standardize practice.
  • There is currently no consensus on the necessity or structure of these diagnostic frameworks.
  • The Academy of Geriatrics (APTA Geriatrics) Movement System Diagnosis Task Force (GMS-TF) has addressed this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe current thinking on movement system diagnoses in physical therapy.
  • To summarize the GMS-TF's contributions to the professional dialogue on movement system diagnoses.
  • To propose a foundational framework for geriatric movement system diagnoses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current thought on movement system diagnoses.
  • Summarization of the GMS-TF's developmental process and proposals.
  • Integration of the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model.
  • Proposal for incorporating the Geriatric 5Ms (mobility, medications, memory, multi-complexity, and "what matters most").
  • Agreement with the APTA Academy of Neurology's emphasis on functional task observation and analysis.
  • Suggestion of additional key movement tasks for older adults.

Main Results:

  • The GMS-TF identified the need for a clearer diagnostic framework before adding specific diagnoses.
  • A proposed framework formally incorporates the Geriatric 5Ms into the movement system for older adults.
  • The framework emphasizes observation and analysis of key functional tasks, including additional tasks relevant to older adults.
  • This approach highlights the healthcare needs of older adults and prioritizes physical therapist care for those with complex conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The GMS-TF's work provides a foundation for a future movement system diagnosis model for older adults.
  • This model aims to complement and facilitate the development of lifespan-applicable models of care.
  • The proposed framework enhances the visibility of older adults' healthcare needs and prioritizes specialized physical therapist interventions.
