CVA Interventions Flashcards
what should you do when strength program is initiated
monitor BP, HR, RPE, RR and breathing patterns closely
indications for immediate cessation of exercise program
- lightheadedness
- dizziness
- chest heaviness, pain or tightness; angina
- heart palpitations or irregular heart beat
- sudden SOB not due to increase activity
- volitional fatigue and exhaustion
what exercises are beneficial for LE strengthening
closed chain
neuromuscular facilitation -
- manual resistance
- tapping
- joint approximation
- joint traction
- quick stretch
- aid in promoting required lead-up activities required for tasks
- good for pt’s with more significant weakness
PNF aids in what -
- aid in promoting required lead-up activities required for tasks
- good for pt’s with more significant weakness
motor learning techniques relies heavily on what
- actual practice, mental practice and feedback
- best relearned when practice within context of the actual desired activity
- pt should demonstrate some recovery of isloated movement
gross grasp
something that is in contact with your palm
prehension patterns
- palmar grip
- lateral grip
what exercises are beneficial for UE strengthening
- majority of ADLs are open but both are beneficial
constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT)
response to learned nonuse by instead promoting forced use of involved extremity
limitations of CIMT
- patient compliance
- staffing at therapy clinics
- reimbursement
when should exercise begin after stroke
within 24 hrs of first onset of symptoms
acute endurance recommendations: goal

acute endurance recommendations
- < 11-12 RPE (3-4 mRPE)
- resting HR + 10-20 bpm
- interval approach
- mode: walking, ADLs, standing activities
IP rehab & outpatient endurance recommendations: goal
- increased walking speed & efficiency
- improve exercise tolerance
- increase independence ADLs
- reduce motor impairment
- improve cognition
- improve vascular health
