| Strict bedrest | Everything is done for the person; no activity. |
| bedrest with privileges | (BRP) The person uses bathroom for elimination |

| bed board | A piece of wood that is placed under the mattress to provide extra support; helps to keep the person's body properly aligned by preventing the mattress from sagging. |

| parkinson's disease | A motor disorder characterized by difficulty in initiating movements, slowness, and rigidity, masked facial expressions, muscle tremors, poor balance, and a shuffling gait.Also increases with the onset of old age, the symptoms of the disease result from the neurons in the midbrain nucleus called the substantia nigra which (normally release dopamine), and the buildup of protein aggregates containing a-synuclein |
| Multiple Sclerosis | Lifelong chronic disease diagnosed primarily in young adults but affects three times more women and men. Progressive disease that causes destruction of the myelin in the spinal cord and brain, leading to sensory disorders and muscle weakness. Symptoms include numbness or pain on the skin, blurred/double vision, cognitive impairments, muscle weakness in the extremities, difficulty with coordination and balance, slurred speech, pee yourself, fatigue/depression. May be caused by autoimmune disease. Most important cells are lymphocytes, which break down the myelin, and then macrophages phagocytize the remains. (CC7.14;308) |
| relapsing-remitting | this is by far the most common type of MS (85%). where people have defined attacks of worsening neuro function and then go back to partial or complete remission. |
| primary progressive | Slow but steady worsening of disease from onset w/ NO remissions or relapses. Requires documented worsening over one year. -10% of patients. |
| secondary progressive | initial relapsing remitting MS suddenly begins and decline without period of remission which usually start with flare ups. |
| progressive-relapsing | Affects people with primary progressive MS. Flare-ups occur with new symptoms and more damage |
| Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis | a rapidly progressive neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles, and are unable to move arms, legs, and body. |
