Question 1

Bed mobility basics

Answer 1

• Stability precedes mobility
• Maintaining a position precedes attaining a position
• Static and dynamic stability with large BoS precedes static and dynamic stability with smaller BoS
• Attaining a position with a low CoM precedes attaining a position with a high CoM.

D) reach with arm and bent knee across body to turn trunk.
E) the roll is complete next adjust for comfort.

Question 16

Assistance with rolling from supine

Answer 16

may help bending knee and stabilizing
may help moving off side arm but do not pull.
Control central mass for more dependent patients.

Question 17

Return to supine from sidelying

Answer 17

Turn head and look away from direction you are lying
Retract off scapula and extend left shoulder back toward the bed
Flex the hip and knee of one or both legs
Lay the legs over toward the side
as the trunk returns to supine, extend the legs and bring UE down to side.

Question 18

supine to prone

Answer 18

Move through sidelying
don’t abduct the down shoulder
continue to bring upper body forward to arrive in prone position

Question 19

Long sitting

Answer 19

sitting up in bed with legs extended

Question 20

Short sitting

Answer 20

sitting with the hips and knees flexed such as when seated on the side of the bed

Question 21

supine to long sitting (I’m not sure version)

Answer 21

lift head and upper body and position elbows posterior to the trunk
Push down into the bed while placing the other hand on the bed and pushing the trunk upright.

Question 22

Supine to sitting through sidelying

Answer 22

Rolls from supine to sidelying
Moves both legs off EOB for counterweight
Pushes down through hand in front of body extending the elbow
abduct and press down with down elbow.
come to full sitting position.

Question 23

Providing assistance to sitting through sidelying from supine

Answer 23

CCDD. Be careful of shoulder and use more scapula.
Block patient from unwanted movement. Use force couples. (knee and shoulder.)

Question 24

Sidelying to sitting with two clinicians for the dependent patient

Answer 24

Primary clinician on side patient is rolling too
Secondary clinician behind patient on shoulder duty

Primary clinician moves patient’s legs off the EOB
Secondary clinician assist bringing patient’s upper body upright.

When upright, secondary clinician stabilizes the patient
The primary clinician focuses on helping the patient scoot into a safe and functional position.

Question 25

moving from sitting to sidelyng to supine

Answer 25

Lower upper body sideways down to the bed or mat, controlling descent with hand of upper most arm and the elbow of the down arm.

Lift both LEs onto bed and roll supine.

Begin 1/3 way down from HOB.

Question 26

moving from sitting to sidelyng to supine physical assistance

Answer 26

Most normally legs and maybe some control for upper body descent. Hooking weak leg with stronger leg is a strategy.

Question 27

Tilt table

Answer 27

padded table with footplate and restraint straps that can be adjusted for HOB high or EOB high.

Follow POC and check and recheck vitals.

Question 28

Scooting Sideways when seated

Answer 28

Abduct arm in direction of intended movement.
Push down with both hands into bed raising hips off the mat and over. Using fisted hand extends lifting range.
repeat until desired position.

increasing trunk flexion and turn head in opposite direction of travel further unweights the buttocks.

Question 29

Scooting forward or back seated

Answer 29

Push down through the feet while pushing down with UE.
Lifts torso up and shifts forward or back.

May have to do one hip at a time.

For assistance, the clinician may reach under ischial tuberosities to help lift hips up and over, forward or back.

Question 30

For THA sitting up (initial book steps)

Answer 30

Can’t go through sidelying
rise up on arms and elbows and pivots on the bed until LE are off the bed.
Modify sitting position with hands propping posteriorly to avoid excess hip flexion.

Question 31

For supine to sit following posterior THA

Answer 31

1. Remove wedge used preventing hip adduction
2. slightly abduct hip
3. patient props both elbows in slightly supine position
4. Patient pivots on bed while clinician supports post-surgery leg and prevents adduction.
5. As patient scoots forward, clinician prevents trunk flexion
6. As patient sits on EOB, use posterior lean propping with both hands and extended knee of involved leg.

Question 32

Rolling from supine to Sidelying on weaker side hemiparesis

Answer 32

Before rolling make sure weaker arm is abducted
patient flexes stronger hip and knee and pushes down into the bed with the foot, laying the leg over toward the EOB while reaching across the body with the stronger arm.

Question 33

Sitting up from sidelying on the weaker side

Answer 33

1. flex hip at knee and push down with foot while reaching stronger arm across body to roll into sidelying
2. patient slides both feet off EOB
3. push down with stronger hand (possibly fisted) into bed and extend elbow then hand of the weaker ue Arm is placed across chest if unable to assist with weaker UE. Move strong hand closer to body each push.

Question 34

Lying down on weaker side

Answer 34

1. abduct shoulder of weaker arm. If unable, place arm on chest. reach across body with strong arm and place hand or fist on bed on the far side of the body.
2. Patient lowers the upper body onto the bed into sidelying, sliding the elbow of the assisting weaker arm forward to prevent it from being trapped.
3. Patient lifts both LE onto bed, hooking the weaker LE with the stronger LE.
4. From sidelying, the patient rolls to supine, leading with the stronger side.

Question 35

Rolling from supine to sidelying on the stronger side

Answer 35

1. In supine, the patient flexes the stronger hip and knee and lays the leg down on the bed, rotating the pelvis toward sidelying
2. patient can reach across with weaker arm if able, or grab the weaker arm with the stronger arm and pull it across.

Question 36

Sitting up from sidelying on stronger side

Answer 36

It’s generally easier
1. patient places the hand of the hemiplegic or hemiparetic arm on the bed just above the hip level (or across chest)

2. hooking the weaker leg moves both legs off the end of bed.
3. moves stronger arm underneath torso and presses down into the bed with elbow and forearm raising upper body off the bed.

Question 37

Lying Down on the stronger side

Answer 37

1. Stronger foot is hooked under weaker.
2. Weaker arm is placed across the front of the body
3. Patient abducts shoulder of the stronger side and leans down toward the bed. Supports upper body on elbow and forearm.
4. Using the stronger LE, the patient lifts both LEs on the bed.
5. Patient rolls into supine.

Question 38

To move from supine to sidelying without thoracic rotation after spinal surgury.

Answer 38

Logroll. hips and shoulders must move simultaneously.

Question 39

tetrapelegia

Answer 39

formally called quadriplegia. injury above T1

Question 40

parapelegia

Answer 40

injury below T1

Question 41

ring sitting

Answer 41

circle sitting. Hips are abducted and externally rotated with the bottom of the patient’s feet touching, increasing the patient’s BOS.
