Effects of Immobility on Body Systems
Effects of Immobility on Body Systems ( 5 Questions)
Which musculoskeletal complication can occur due to prolonged immobility?
Immobility typically results in decreased muscle strength rather than increased muscle strength.
Joint flexibility may decrease due to immobility and the development of joint contractures.
Prolonged immobility can lead to a decrease in bone mineral density and the development of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones.
Prolonged immobility increases the risk of contractures, which are permanent shortening of muscles and tendons leading to limited joint mobility.
