1/12 Flashcards
post THA what direction should you transfer to? what should be avoided during transfer?
transfer to stronger side if able to bear weight
Avoid rotating or twisting the upper body toward the surgical side with the lower extremity fixed
what pressure injury stage?
nonblanchable erythema of intact skin
Stage 1 pressure injuries
what pressure injury stage?
partial-thickness skin loss involving the epidermis, dermis, or both (e.g., abrasion, blister, or shallow crater).
Stage 2 pressure injuries
what pressure injury stage?
full-thickness skin loss involving damage to or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to but not through underlying fascia (deep crater with or without undermining).
Stage 3 pressure injuries
what pressure injury stage?
full-thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g., tendon or joint capsule).
Stage 4 pressure injuries
what pressure injury stage?
full-thickness skin loss with tissue necrosis and damage to joint capsule and muscle
Stage 4 pressure injuries
what pressure injury stage?
full-thickness skin, deep crater with undermining, see underlying fascia
Stage 3 pressure injuries
what pressure injury stage?
partial-thickness skin loss involving the epidermis with blister
Stage 2 pressure injuries
Wheelchairs can cross thresholds of up to #inches?
0.5 inch
Wheelchairs require a minimum of what doorway width?
32 to 34 inches (81 to 86 cm)
Research evidence supports that patients who possess what movements have improved upper extremity functional outcomes after a cerebrovascular accident?
active wrist and finger extension
what stage of healing perform cross friction massage techniques?
chronic conditions
not acute or subacute conditions
what type of intervention used in the early healing stages of tendon sprain for the proper alignment of healing collagen?
Gentle stretching is performed to provide a stimulus for fiber orientation without disruption of the immature collagen
CVA in which artery and part of brain? ataxia involving the limbs and gait
involves cerebellum, involving the vertebrobasilar arteries
CVA in which artery and part of brain? Visual agnosia
left occipital lobe from a lesion of the posterior cerebral artery
CVA in which artery and part of brain?
impaired short term memory
inferomedial area of the temporal lobe either bilaterally or only on the dominant side of the brain (usually the left side). posterior cerebral artery
how to measure Chest wall motion?
In supine - using a tape measure, measure the chest’s circumference at the levels of axillae - upper chest
xiphoid - middle chest
midpoint between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus - lower chest
what diagnosis?
post-surgery, symptoms: dyspnea, tachycardia, light-headedness, chest pain, cough, apprehension. No calf pain, no swelling or warmth is seen.
pulmonary embolism
risk factors for DVT and PE
recent surgery, obesity, and older age
what is ankylosing spondylitis? why is low-intensity aerobic exercise important for advanced ankylosing spondylitis?
inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and large joints.
- advanced AS causes decreased chest wall excursion, which compromises breathing.
- Aerobic exercise and stretching will optimize efficiency of O2 transport and maintain cardiopulmonary function.
- Low intensity better because intense exercise can exacerbate the inflammatory process and be potentially harmful.
floor (ground) reaction orthosis is used to prevent what movement during stance phase?
grafo has an anterior shell that provides a posteriorly directed force to resist knee flexion during stance phase
what is patellar tendon-bearing orthosis? what is it used for?
custom molded plastic brace with metal uprights and ankle joints
designed to un-weight the foot and ankle.
normal range of intracranial pressure in adults and children <6yrs?
0 to 10 mm Hg for adults
0 to 5 mm Hg for children <6 years.
High intracranial pressure correlates with low cerebral perfusion pressure.
