Chunk Four Flashcards
dysphagia diet liquid progression
dietary liquid modfiication that involves altering the viscosity of drinking liquids to decrease aspiration risk, includes the following the levels (from most difficult to swallow to easiest to swallow)
thin
nectar like
honey like
DDLP: nectar thick
thickened liquid consistency for safer swallowing that is a progression from thin liquid
may be natural or thin liquids prepared with thickening gel or powder such as
tomato juice
fruit nectar
egg nog
DDL: pureed
dietary food texture modification described as smooth, uniform consistency for safer swallowing that requires very little chewing ability examples include
pudding and plain yogurt
smooth apple sauce
whipped potatoes
DDL: mechanically altered
dietary food texture modficaiton described as moist, semi-solid consistency for safer swallowing that requires some chewing ability examples include:
cottage cheese
ripe banana
moist meat loaf
scrambled eggs
DDL: advanced
dietary food texture modification described as soft consistency for safer swallowing that requires more advanced chewing ability,e examples include:
baked potato with skin
moist pancakes
thin sliced meat
compensatory swallowing maneuvers
techniques reommended to facilitate safe swallow during the pharyngeal phase : only considered with clients who are alert attentive adn able to follow direction
ie:
chin tuck
mendelsohn maneuver
supraglottic swallow
super-supraglottic swallow
chin tuck
compensatory swallowing maneuver that involves moving the chin towards the chest while swallowing protects the airway and reduces the risk of aspiration
supraglottic swallow
compensatory swallowing technique used to close the vocal cords before and during swallow, involves the following steps;
- take a deep breath
- holding the breath while swallowing
- coughing to clear saliva or food that may have passed beyond the vocal cords
super-supraglottic swallow
compensatory swallowing technique used to close the airway entrance above the vocal cords involves the following steps
- taking a deep breath
- holding the breath and bearing down as in a bowel movement while swallowing
- coughing to clear saliva or food that may have passed beyond the vocal cords
mendelsohn maneuver
technique used to prolong the opening of the upper esophageal sphincter during a swallow involves pushing the tongue into the upper palette while manually maintaining the Adam’s apple in an elevated position
work simulator
electromechanical isotonic and isometric strengthening device used for work evaluation and intervention to improve upper extremity functional abilities
work conditioning
program focusing on returning a client to work: may:
include restoring ability and capacity associated with work related tasks
precede work hardening program
work hardening
structured rehabilitation program aimed at maximizing a client’s physical ability to return to a specific job function after an injury may include:
job simulation activities
work conditioning exercises
return to work program
work rehabilitation continuum that promotes cost-effective steps for job-related goal attainment
motor control
ability to execute movement in a controlled and purposeful manner
muscle tone
amount of tension in a muscle while at rest
in hand manipulation
skill requiring control of the palmar arches of the hand to grasp and control objects
five patterns include: finger to palm palm to finger shift simple rotation complex rotation
joint protection strategies
techniques used to minimize stress or prevent excessive forces on a joint during daily tasks
principles include
using the largest joint possible for the task
sliding items and performing tasks bilaterally
modifying the environment
considering adaptive equipment
energy conservation techniques
strategies to minimize fatigue by reducing task demands or amount of effort exerted during daily routines
includes:
pacing
planning
prioritizing
