Module 12 Key Clinical Terms in Plain English / Glosario Clínico del Módulo en Palabras Sencillas (Click to Expand / Presione para Abrir)
  • The Two-Hour Joint Pain Rule (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis): If joint pain is worse 2 hours after exercising than it was before starting, the session volume or impact was too high and must be scaled back at the next session.
    En palabras sencillas: La Regla de las Dos Horas: si a las 2 horas de terminar duele más la articulación que antes de empezar, bajamos la carga o duración en la siguiente sesión.
  • Acute Inflammatory Flare Gate (Gentle ROM Only): During an acute rheumatoid or osteoarthritic flare (hot, red, swollen joint), avoid heavy resistance or high-impact loading and perform only gentle, pain-free range-of-motion movements.
    En palabras sencillas: Cuando una articulación amanece caliente, inflamada o en brote agudo, no se le mete peso; solo se mueve suave sin dolor.
  • Osteoporosis Spine-Sparing Mechanics & Fall Prevention: Replacing spinal flexion/twisting with neutral-spine hip hinges, posture extensors, weight-bearing walking, and daily balance training.
    En palabras sencillas: Proteger la columna evitando encorvarse o girar brusco con peso, fortaleciendo espalda, cadera y equilibrio para prevenir caídas.

Lab Overview: Musculoskeletal Risk Audit & PAGA 2018 Prescription Formulation

In this laboratory practical, you will execute a comprehensive musculoskeletal risk audit and formulate an evidence-based exercise prescription for a client presenting with osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or degenerative disc disease.

You will apply the Clinical Framing Protocol (Pattern / Rule / Solve) framework anchored in federal standards (PAGA 2018) and use the Gemini AI Tool Kit with secure triple-hash delimiters (###) to audit your clinical safety.
