Respiratory Pathologies
Defined as a preventable and treatable disease. Characterized by airflow limitation caused by chronic inflammation of the small airways and air spaces in response to significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. Mucociliary dysfunction is also a characteristic of the disease.
What is COPD?
Laterally flex head and neck to same side
Rotate head and neck to opposite side
Bilateral: flex neck and elevate ribcage during inhalation
What is SCM?
Albuterol (Ventolin)
What is rescue?
Assistive devices can be used. Individuals can rest as needed, although the timer does not stop. This is a self-selected walking speed that has a good correlation to the performance of ADLs.
What is the 6-minute walk test
Congestive heart failure, hypertension
What is circulatory?
A chronic disease affecting the body's excretory glands. Secretions made by these glands are thicker and more viscous than usual.
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Laterally flex head and neck to same side
Rotate head and neck to opposite side
Elevate and Upwardly rotate scapula
Bilateral: extend head and neck
What is the upper trapezius?
Montelukast (Singulair)
What is blocks allergic reaction?
Walking speed is measured by a walking course that has a 5-m acceleration leg, a 10-m timed leg, and a 5-m deceleration leg
What is Gait speed?
Arthritis, recent rib fracture, shoulder bursitis or tendonitis, any condition that would make appropriate postural drainage positioning uncomfortable
What is musculoskeletal?
A common chronic pulmonary disease. A disease of variable expiratory airflow limitation with symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough. Characterized by chronic airway inflammation associated with airway hyperresponsiveness to direct or indirect stimuli.
What is Asthma?
All Fibers: Adduct, and Internally rotate shoulder
Upper Fibers: Flex and Horizontally adduct shoulder
Lower Fibers: Extend shoulder
What is Pectoralis major?
Fluticasone (Flovent)
What is anti-inflammatory effects?
Two cones are set to identify a 10-m walking course. The participant is told to walk between the cones at a walking speed dictated by an audio signal. The test is finished when the subject is unable to maintain the required speed and fails to complete two consecutive shuttles within the imposed time.
What is the incremental shuttle walk test?
Obesity, abdominal distension, hiatal hernia, nausea, recent food consumption
What is abdominal?
Results in difficulty expanding the lungs and a reduction in lung volumes. As the disease progresses, distal airspaces become fibrosed, making them more resistant to expansion. Consequently, lung volumes are reduced. Dyspnea with activity and persistent nonproductive cough are classic symptoms.
What is restrictive lung disease?
Draw ribs superiorly (inhalation)
What are external intercostals?
Salmeterol (Serevent)
What is Bronchodilation?
A self-administered 24-item questionnaire covering three domains of functional impairment, magnitude of task, and magnitude of effort.
What is the Baseline Dyspnea Index?
Pulmonary edema, shortness of breath made worse with Trendelenburg position
What is pulmonary?
Respiratory infection contained within the interstitial compartment, which leads to diffuse interstitial-based abnormalities such as impaired diffusing capacity. Patients present with alterations in lung function, exercise capacity, and symptoms similar to those of individuals with interstitial lung disease.
What is COVID-19?
Depress, Abduct, and Downwardly rotate the scapula
What is Pectoralis Minor?
Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme)
What is thins secretions?
A self-administered questionnaire of 50 items regarding three domains, symptomatology, activity, and impact.
What is the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire?
Vascular
What is an axillofemoral bypass graft
