treatment response
enhanced expectations of patient
encouragement and obtainable goals increase confidence
confidence increase performance
success increases dopaminergic reward
patient autonomy increases
motivation
performance
learning
error detection
burnout buffer
high empathy = low burnout
cornerstone of communiction
gets it - competence
gets me - compassion
parts of competence
professional setting, background, clothing
punctual, private, continuous care
treatment duration and follow up
diagnosis/prognosis/treatment clarity
eliminate hedge words
blend treatment maps - pt and PT goals
parts of compassion
bookend with affirmation, kind handshake, smile
pace emotions the lead
open ended questions, active listening, backtracking
positive, solution based, yet language
monitor nonverbal state and biases
use touch to assist and treat patients
rules to medical improv
be comfortable with uncomfortable
be an active listener
accept what you are given
have fun
the patient’s story
positives
impairments
chief complaint
treatment
participation
what makes allied health different?
from physicians - need multiple visits
from nurses - no standard of care
what is a patient interview?
subjective examination
80% of information needed to clarify symptoms
what do you discuss during the patient interview?
chief complaint
past medical and surgical history
social/personal history
family history
review of symptoms
ask a catch all question to end interview
interview strategies
funnel technique - open and closed ended questions
avoid asking leading questions
the role of science
what do we mean by who?
demographics
patient history
patient’s life and living environment
current condition
primary language spoken
medications
MOI
systems review
home layout
stress
sleep
what do we need by who specific to inpatient setting?
medical record - surgical, dietary
nursing assessment - pain, level of assist, discharge plan
systems review - active vs passive
active
~cardiovascular/pulmonary
~integumentary
~CPRs
passive
~cognitive
~musculoskeletal
~neuromuscular
what do we mean by what?
current chief complaint
SINSS
labs or diagnostics
what is SINSS
severity - symptom or pain
irritability - how quickly provoked
nature - description
stage - acute, subacute, chronic
stability - improving, same, worse
what do we mean by when?
take me through a typical day
aggravating factors
easing factors
what do we mean by where?
point to area of symptoms
some may not be localized
review of systems
read intake paperwork
look for associated signs and symptoms
what 3 things does communication require
motor function of speech
sensory process of hearing
cognitive process of comprehension/interpretation
assessing communication
does not need to be formal and extensive
language spoken
hearing
quantity - rapid change is a red flag
5 things cognition includes
orientation
attention
memory
problem solving
perception
when is cognitive assessment a priority?
diagnosis has cognitive problems
demonstrates confusion or difficulty with answering
what is the preview?
summary of the patient history
define medical screening
detect diseased before actual symptoms occurs
screening for referral
pt already has symptoms
determining if condition can be treated with PT
our goal as PTs
recognize when to treat, refer or treat and refer
levels of access and screening
primary - direct access
secondary - had some medical screening
tertiary - had one or more medical exams
what are the reasons for screening?
direct access
quicker and sicker
signed prescription - no visit
medical specialization - may miss if out of their special
progression of disease
patient self disclosure - rest of the story
does not tell you the whole story
presence of red and yellow flags
four classifications to direct interventions from the PT guide
msk
neuromuscular
cardiopul
integ
what are red flags?
warnings
what are yellow flags?
additional considerations, psychosocial
examples of red flags
previous history of cancer
age
bilateral symptoms
change in mentation
night pain
true insidious onset
constitutional symptoms
does not improve with PT
examples of constitutional symptoms
affects general well-being
fatigue and malaise
nausea/vomiting
pallor
weight loss
dizziness/syncope
diaphoresis - sweat
if patient has shoulder pain, where can pain refer from?
neck
chest
abdomen/viscera
what systems do PTs screen?
cardiovascular
pulmonary
integumentary
gastrointestinal
hepatic/biliary
urogenital
endocrine/metabolic
what to look for in cardiovascular system?
chest, back, neck, shoulder pain
abnormal vitals
dyspnea
cough
edema
vascular insufficiency
assessing edema
document position, location, r and l, units of measurement
assessing vascular sufficiency
peripheral pulses
venous filling time - normal 5-15 sec
capillary refill time
associated signs and symptoms with pulmonary system?
dyspnea
cough
cyanosis
clubbing of nails
altered breathing patterns
3 P’s for pulmonary
postion
palpation
pleuritic (do respiratory movements increase pain)
s&s for integumentary
color
temperature
texture
integrity
turgor - skin tenting
ABCDE to assess skin
asymmetry
border
color
diameter
evolution/elevation
signs of inflammation
color - well defined redness
temp - mild to mod increase
pain - proportionate to injury
swelling - mild to mod; consistent with wound
signs of infection
color - red larger than expected
temp - mod to severe; have fever
pain - excessive for wound
swelling - mod to severe; not consistent with wound
what are the three factors of moovement?
individual
task
environment
three factors of the individual
cognition - psychosocial
action - neuromuscular
perception - somatosensory
three factors of the task
postural control - stability abd orientation
mobility - move cog
extremity function
these can be discrete or continuous
two factors of the environment
regulatory - requires a different movement
non-regulatory - does not need to change movement
both may affect performance
self reported measures
can address any portion of ICF
broad category
patient reported questionnaires
often standardized
impairment based measures
combine body structure and function
examples:
motor function
ROM
joint integrity and mobility
sensory integrity
reflex integrity
peripheral nerve integrity
posture
pain
aerobic capacity/endurance
gait, locomotion, balance
physical performance measures
body function and activities
examples:
trunk endurance testing
movement patterns
jump/hop test
stength/power testing
lifting tests
throwing tests
speed/agility/quickness testing
multi plane aerobic endurance
multi plane balance/proprioception testing
functional performance testing
activities and participation
compilation of tests
given t end of rehabilitation
test selection
what is motor learning?
set of processes associated with practice or experience that lead to relatively permanent changes in the capacity for skilled movement
what is adaptation
flexible movement
short term memory
