Q

IP rehab & outpatient endurance recommendations

A
  • 11-14 RPE (3-5/6 mRPE)
  • 40-70% VO2 reserve or HR reserve; 55-80% HRmax
  • 20-60 min/session, 3-5x week + adequate warm up/cool down
  • mode: large muscle activities
17
Q

management of painful and/or subluxed shoulder

A
  • strengthening high rep of RTC, deltoid and scapula
  • KT tape
  • NMES
  • slings
  • positioning
18
Q

what are shoulder slings used for

A

work to withstand gravity

19
Q

neoprene sleeve

A
  • comfortable
  • gentle compression
  • stretchy
  • not always best option
20
Q

alimed sling

A
  • hard shell

- adjusts how much pull on shoulder

21
Q

givmohr sling

A
  • cradles elbow and hand
  • better accounts for whole arm
  • takes hand fxn away
22
Q

shoulder saddle sling

A
  • risk for contracture

- no use of hand

23
Q

hypotonic, and what are the functional implications

A
  • floppy movements
  • injury risk
  • power movements are impaired
  • resist gravity
  • increased stress on joint
  • balance impaired
  • fatigue
  • lack of postural control
  • clumsy, incoordinated movements
24
Q

what are the functional implications of stroke

A
  • contractures
  • skin breakdown
  • pain
  • abnormal posture
  • abnormal movement patterns
  • impaired balance
25
Q

what is the main management of spasticity

A

medication: baclofen

26
Q

side effects of baclofen

A

decreased muscle strength and lethargy

27
Q

when is med appropriate for spasticity pt’s?

A
  • spasticity is interfering with fxn
  • clonus present –> skin breakdown
  • pain
28
Q

what are you monitoring with tone present

A
  • clonus
  • impact on functional tasks
  • evidence of contractures
29
Q

what are you managing with tone present

A
  • stretching program –> joint mobs
  • positioning of limbs to avoid shortening positions of spastic muscles
  • e-stim can be used for short term effects
