EPPT_S1_L1 - 1-2 Flashcards
According to the American Physical Therapy Association (2009), theory is a __ and ___ for practice
Guide and tool
Examples of theory as a guide and tool on practice
- ITE Model in motor learning
- Theory of arthrokinematics in kinesiology
Selection of interventions and anticipated outcomes should be derived from ___
physical therapy theory
Example of selection of intervention should be derived from PT theory
We should not suggest building a bed in the 1st floor because it is the engineering’s job to build a bed.
Theory cannot substitute for ___
Professional judgment
Theories are effective, but it will or may differ in __
Practice
Theory can still be __ and ___ throughout
physical therapy, from examination to interventions
Evaluated and reviewed
Theory can be served as:
- Organization of ideas
- Integration of knowledge with practice
- Opportunity for new knowledge and alternative
theories
Identify what use of theory: ITE model in motor learning, theory of arthrokinematics in kinesiology
Theory is a guide and tool for practice ITE model in motor learning, theory of arthrokinematics in kinesiology
Identify what use of theory: Theories are effective, but it will or may differ in
practice.
E.g. Using Brunnstrom doesn’t work on ur pt, will
you continue to use it? Change the theory if the first
one doesn’t work.
Theory cannot substitute for professional judgment
Identify what use of theory: Physical therapists should only base their
interventions on physical therapy theories.
Selection of interventions and anticipated outcomes should be derived from physical therapy theory
Identify what use of theory: There is no absolute theory
○ You can change theories after a number of PT
sessions.
Theory can still be evaluated and reviewed throughout
physical therapy, from examination to interventions
Traditional Theories
- Biomedical Model
- Psychosocial Model
Emerging Theories
- Transformative Learning Theory
- Connectivity Theory
Diseases are caused by external or internal injuries to
the body.
Biomedical model
Physical Injuries: TBI; fractures
■ Chemical injuries: Burns caused by sulfuric
acid
External injuries
Chemical imbalance in the body
● Can be increase in sodium or potassium
● Sodium: hyponatremia, hypernatremia
● Calcium: hypokalemia, hyperkalemia
● Blood vessel problem: stroke, myocardial
infarction
Internal Injuries
Development of medical techniques is based on
knowledge about ___, ___, and ___
Cells, tissues, organs
Biomedical model focuses more on the ___ than the ___
Disease, patient
Biomedical model treat diseases at the ___ level, not organ level
Cellular
7 Key Principles of Biomedical Model:
- Reductionism
- Cartesian Dualism
- Specific Aetiology
- Germ Theory
- Normalization
- Objectivity and experimentation
- Body as machine
The body is divided into systems and parts.
■ Organ systems → organs → tissues → cells
Reductionism
The goal is to know the origin of the illness and focus on the cure of the cause
Specific aetiology
The body and mind are separate (according to Rene Descartes)
Cartesian Dualism
The mind is perfect, it shouldn’t have ___
Diseases
Body is imperfect, it is prone to?
Diseases
