15
Q

Hip

Gait: Typical Deficits

A

-Poor hip position (retracted and FLXed)
-Tradelenburg limp (weak ABD)
-Scissoring (spastic ADD)
-Insufficient pelvic rotation

16
Q

Knee

Gait: Typical Deficits

A

-Weak knee EXTnsors (may lead to compensatory lokcing of the knee in hyperextension)
-Spastic Quads may also yealed a hyperextended knee

17
Q

Ankle

Gait: Typical Deficits

A

-Footdrop/ PF spasticity = euinus gait ( heel does not touch the ground)
- Varus foot= Weight is borne on lateral side of foot

18
Q

Fugul-Meyer Assessment of Motor Performance

CVA Outcomes

A

Subtest for UE/LE function
Test: balance, sensation, ROM and Pain
Scoring: 0= cant perform, 1= partially perform, 2= fully perform

19
Q

Functional Independence Measure (FIM)

CVA Outcomes

A

18 items
Captures: feeding, grooming, bathing, transfer, gait, stairs, cogitive, social interaction, expression, bowel and bladder

20
Q

Postural Assessment scale for stroke Pt

CVA Outcomes

A

12 items that measure postural control and balance in pt recovering from stroke
- Scoring: 0-3 with higher socres reflecting better postural control

21
Q

Trunk Impairment Scale

CVA Outcomes

A

Evaluates motor impairment of the trunk
- Static sitting, dynamic sitting, coordination
- Scoring: 0-23 with highter scores = increased trunk impairment

22
Q

Stroke Impact Scale

CVA Outcome

A

Self reporting measure
Measures: physical problems, memory, changes in mood, emotion, communcation.

23
Q

Aerobic conditioning

Interventions

A
  • Cycle ergometry
  • Treadmill
  • Walking
24
Q

Other

Intervention

A

-Isokinetic training: improvement timing deficits, volocity control of movement
- locomotor training: Body Weight Supported, motorized treadmill training
- Functional electrical stimulation (FES)- stimulate muscle action and reduce spasticity
- Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT)- must have wrist and finger movement

25
Q

Left CVA

Learning

A

-Communication base: Words, gesture
Assess level of understanding
Give frequent feedback and support
Do not underestimate learning ability

26
Q

Right CVA

Learning

A
  • Communication: use verbal cues
  • Give frequent feedback- focus on slowing and controlling movement
  • Focus on safety
  • Avoid environmental clutter
