Scientific Knowledge Base Overview of exercise and activity: Body alignment • Relationship of one body part to another Body balance • Achieved by low center of gravity; enhanced by posture Coordinated body movement • A result of weight, center of gravity, and balance Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 2 Scientific Knowledge Base (cont’d) Overview of exercise and activity: Friction • Force that occurs in a direction to oppose movement Exercise and activity • A patient’s individualized exercise program depends on the patient’s activity tolerance or the type and amount of exercise or activity that the patient is able to perform. • Isotonic exercises • Isometric exercises Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 3 Case Study Mr. Indelicato is a 72-year-old African American who is hospitalized for surgery on his right knee. He relates the problem with his knee to previous sports injuries. He first sought medical advice and treatment 6 years ago. He has tried various treatments, including physical therapy, rest, and pain medication. His only preoperative medication is ibuprofen 600 mg every 6 to 8 hours. He and his wife are very active.

Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 31 Case Study (cont’d) Marilyn evaluates how effective her plan of care has been. She asks Mr. Indelicato to rate the level of pain from 0 to 10, observes his range of motion and use of the continuous passive motion (CPM) machine, and observes his ambulation with a walker. Mr. Indelicato rates his pain as a 3 and is able to perform range of motion (ROM) and use the CPM machine. He has a steady gait with the aid of the walker. Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2005 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 32 Case Study (cont’d) It has been 5 weeks since Marilyn began to care for Mr. Indelicato. Mr Indelicato has progressed steadily to increase both weight bearing and range of joint motion on the affected knee. Mr. Indelicato expected the pain to be completely resolved on hospital discharge and not to follow into physical therapy. Marilyn and the physical therapist worked with Mr. Indelicato and his orthopedic surgeon to identify pain control measures.
