C1 Response of cardio-respiratory system to mobiliser
Mobiliser exercises are less intense than pulse-raisers. This has the following eff ect:
Slight drop in heart rate as exercise intensity drops
Slight drop in breathing rate as exercise intensity drops
Response of musculoskeletal system to mobiliser
A synovial joint is where two bones meet. • The ends of the bones are covered with cartilage. • The space between them is fi lled with synovial fl uid. This allows movement in the joint.
Mobiliser exercises increase the production of synovial fl uid in joints
Increased synovial fl uid increases the range of motion at the joints
