Introduction to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR)

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR), also known as physiatry, is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing physical impairments or disabilities caused by injuries, illnesses, or chronic conditions. The primary goal of PMR is to restore a patient's functional abilities, enhance their quality of life, and promote overall wellness. Unlike other medical fields that may concentrate on a specific body part or disease, PMR adopts a holistic approach, addressing the patient as a whole and using a combination of therapies to manage symptoms and improve mobility, strength, and endurance.

PMR specialists, known as physiatrists, are trained to treat a wide range... Continue reading "Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: Core Concepts and Therapies" »

Pain Vocabulary

• Burning = Incendio * Sharp = Agudo
• Throbbing = Palpitante * Moderate = Moderado
• Constant = Constante * Unbearable = Inaguantable
• Intermittent = Disparo * Shooting = Tiroteo

Pain Levels

• No pain = Sin dolor
• Moderate pain = Dolor moderado
• Severe pain = Dolor severo
• Very severe pain = Dolor muy severo
• Unbearable pain = Dolor inaguantable

Other Symptoms

• Cough = Tos * Earache = Dolor de oído
• Headache = Dolor de cabeza
• Nauseous = Náuseas
• Skin rash = Erupción cutánea
• Sweaty = Sudoroso * Tired = Cansado
• Dizzy = Mareado * Fever = Fiebre
• Itchy = Picazón * Wheeze = Sibilancias
• Runny nose = Secreción nasal
• Sore throat = Dolor de garganta

Rhythm: 3rd ESO (2nd Term)

Choreography is the art or practice of designing sequences of movements for physical bodies in which motion, form, or both are specified. In dance, choreography is the act of designing the dance, and a choreographer is the person who designs these sequences.

Elements of Choreography

The art of choreography involves the specification of human movement and form in terms of:

• Space
• Shape
• Time
• Energy

Structure of a Dance

The number of beats per minute in music is measured in BPM (Beats Per Minute). A dance is composed of movements called steps. Beats and steps do not always align, as steps can span more or less than one beat.

• Phrase: The most basic structure, consisting of 8 beats. The first beat is the strongest and is called the

Step 1: Identify Your Primary Use

• Daily Commute: Prioritize organization, laptop protection, and weather resistance.
• Outdoor Adventures: Focus on durability and higher weatherproofing.
• Travel: Look for modularity and spaciousness with weatherproof features.

Step 2: Match Fabric Types to Needs

AP Lumbar Spine Projection

• IR: 14x17” LW
• Position: Supine with knees flexed; MSP centered to IR. Alternatively, prone to place intervertebral disk spaces more parallel to the divergence of the beam.
• CR: Perpendicular at the level of the iliac crest (L4). For 11x14 IR, center 1.5” above the iliac crest (L3).
• Technique: 75–92 kV; 8–20 mAs. Higher kV with lower mAs reduces patient dose.
• AEC: Center cell; collimate on all four borders.
• SID: 40” minimum.
• Respiration: Suspended on expiration.
• Analysis: Vertebral bodies, pedicles, laminae, intervertebral joints, spinous and transverse processes clearly seen. No rotation is indicated by SI joints equidistant from spinous processes, spinous process in the midline of the vertebral column, and transverse

Understanding Surgical Procedures

This document identifies different types of surgical procedures and their classifications.

Types of Surgical Procedures

Surgery can be classified as major or minor, based on factors such as the severity of the disease, affected body parts, the complexity of the operation, and expected recovery time.

Major Surgery

Major surgery involves procedures of the head, neck, thorax, and abdomen. Recovery time can be lengthy and may involve a stay in intensive care or several days of hospitalization. These surgeries carry a greater risk of complications. In children, examples of major surgery include:

• Removal of brain tumors
• Repair of bone malformations of the skull and face
• Repair of congenital heart disease, organ transplantation,

Understanding Physical Endurance

The duration for which your muscles can work depends directly on your endurance. There are two primary types of endurance: Muscular and Cardiovascular (CV).

Muscular Endurance

Muscular endurance is the ability of your muscles to keep exerting force over a prolonged period.

• Muscle Fatigue: This occurs when your arms and legs begin to feel heavy or weak.
• Slow-Twitch Muscle Fibers: These fibers fatigue less quickly, making it easier to improve muscular endurance if you possess a high proportion of them.

Cardiovascular Endurance (CV)

CV endurance is intrinsically linked to the efficiency of your heart and lungs.

• As your muscles work harder, they require more oxygen, causing your breathing and heart rate to accelerate.
• The

Strength Training: Specific Systems

Weightlifting

Weightlifting involves using barbells and dumbbells to develop maximum strength. It is performed at low speed and high intensity.

Isometric Training

Isometric training involves contracting a muscle against maximum resistance from a fixed object. It develops maximum strength and is ideal for recovering from injuries.

Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding consists of a series of exercises using dumbbells and weights, performed with fast repetitions at medium to high intensity. It develops dynamic strength and muscle coordination.

Plyometrics

Plyometrics involves linking the fall from a height with a subsequent jump in a vertical or horizontal direction. It improves explosiveness by starting with an eccentric contraction... Continue reading "Strength Training Guide: Types, FITT Principle & More" »

Models of Disability

Social Model of Disability

• Core Concept: A person is limited by environmental barriers, not by their impairment.
• Keys: Social oppression, cultural discourse, environmental barriers.
• Strengths:
  • Straightforward and clear agenda for change.
  • Focuses on the liberation of disabled people.
  • Fosters a positive sense of collective identity.
• Weaknesses:
  • May neglect the lived experience of disability (e.g., the personal impact of impairment).
  • Can overlook individual experiences, assuming every disabled person is oppressed.

Medical Model of Disability

• Core Concept: People are disabled by their impairments or disabilities, which are seen as individual deficits.

Foundational Concepts for Inclusion

Ethics of Inclusion

• Embrace difference and diversity.
