CVA - 5a Stroke Rehab Gait Flashcards
primary vs secondary LE impairments
primary:
- motor control/activation
- altered ms tone
- loss of sensation
- coordination problems
secondary:
- weakness, atrophy
- ms length, ROM
- edema
- pain
what is the emphasis of LE neurorehab and why
gait training
amb is key functional activity for participation and quality of life
what are 3 interventions of LE neurorehab
functional retraining
gait training*
strength training
what functional retraining interventions are included in LE neurorehab
bed mobility
bridging
balanced sitting/standing
sit to stand transfers
what context is strength training often utilized for LE neurorehab
more functional and get them on programs to be doing outside PT
what does evidence say ab the use of PNF and NDT in LE neurorehab
lack of evidence to support use in gait/amb training
may be beneficial for pre-gait activities and bed mobility
what is the majority of stroke survivors ambulation status 6mo post
independent but most have gait abnormalities
majority of stroke survivors are dc to where after rehab and what is their functional abilities at this point
home
but not functional community amb
stance phase: normal hip movement and why
flex -> ext
flex - proper heel strike
ext - facilitate push off position to trigger hip flex to step
stance phase: normal pelvis and trunk motion and why
(tiny) lateral horizontal shift of pelvis and trunk
critical for loading and unweighting contralateral limb
stance phase: normal knee movement
10-15deg flex at IC
ext
flex in terminal stance
6 common gait deviations in stance phase
- poorly aligned trunk/pelvis
- dec peak hip ext
- knee hyper ext
- lack of knee ext
- dec PF at toe off
- WTB on MT heads
HCF for knee hyper ext in stance and what problems can knee hyper ext lead to
dec quad strength (eccentric)
can lead to issues w joint capsule and overstretching structures on post aspect of knee
- leading to inc instability of knee
HCFs for lack of knee ext in stance
knee flex tone
knee/quad weakness
HCF for dec PF at toe off in stance
strength deficits
what leads to pts WTB on MT heads in stance and what problems can this lead to
for pt unable to maintain DF while amb
can lead to skin breakdown and injure integrity of ankle/foot
hip and knee movement from initial to mid to terminal swing
initial - knee flex w hip ext
mid - hip flex w knee ext
terminal - knee full ext and ankle DF before heel strike
pelvis motion in swing phase
lateral pelvic tilt downward direction 5deg
forward rotation of ipsilateral pelvis
6 common gait deviations in swing phase
- dec peak hip flex
- no UE swing on hemi side
- inc hip and knee flex (ataxic)
- dec peak knee flex in early swing
- dec knee ext in late swng
- lack of DF/toe clearance
what impact does dec hip flex have on the swing phase
dec step length
what impact does no UE swing have in the swing phase
impacts balance, posture, speed
what impact does inc hip/knee flex have in swing phase and what type of CVA is this commonly seen in
affects stepping, balance
cerebellar strokes
