Exam 3 Flashcards
Burns, Amputations, Muscle Strength, MMT, Cardiac and Pulmonary Dysfunction, Ethics/Scope of PAMS, Prosthetic Devices and How They Work
causes of muscle weakness
- lower motor neuron diseases
- primary muscle disease
- neurological diseases
- disuse/ immobilization
- secondary symptom
MMT contraindications
- inflammation/ pain
- fracture/ dislocation
- myositis ossificans
- bone carcinoma
- other fragile bone disease
MMT limitations
- cannot measure muscle endurance, coordination, or task performance
- will not get accurate results with spasticity
MMT 3 and higher requires:
full ROM AGAINST gravity
MMT 2 and lower requires:
gravity ELIMINATED position
dynamometer assess:
grip strength
pinch meter assesses:
pinch strength
- three jaw chuck
- lateral pinch
- two-point pinch
factors to consider when planning intervention for muscle strength
- degree of weakness
- generalized or specific
- imbalance between agonist/ antagonist
- impact on occupations
- orthosis needed?
general purpose of therapeutic exercise (documentation purposes)
- develop awareness of normal movement patterns
- aid in overcoming ROM deficits
- develop strength/ endurance for function
types of exercises (5)
- active-assisted
- active
- resistive
- progressive resistive
- isometric
for STRENGTHENING:
INCREASE load, DECREASE reps
for ENDURANCE/TOLERANCE:
INCREASE reps, DECREASE load
cause of MI
- reduced blood flow to the heart for an extended period
- leads to damage, necrosis or death of cardiac tissues
- coronary artery disease - atherosclerosis
- spasm of coronary artery
symptoms of MI
- pain/pressure in chest that may radiate to teeth, jaw, ear, arm, or mid-back
- nausea/ vomiting
- SOB
- diaphoresis
- fatigue
risk factors of MI
modifiable vs. non-modifiable
medical management for MI
- medication
- balloon angioplasty
- atherectomy
- CABG
sternal precautions
- avoid completing asynchronous UE movements
- avoid activities that cause feelings of sternal clicking or shifting
- avoid shoulder flexion beyond 90 degrees/ other excessive shoulder movements
- no lifting 5-10 lbs+ (push/pull)
- use small pillow held against sternum when coughing or mobility transitions
cause of CHF
- chronic/ progressive condition in which the heart loses the ability to pump effectively
- causes: CAD, hypertension, MI
- results in: fluid in lungs, edema in LEs and abdomen, physiological changes
symptoms of CHF
- sudden weight gain
- SOB, wheezing/ coughing
- fatigue
- decreased appetite
- changes in sleep patterns
risk factors of CHF
modifiable vs. non-modifiable
medical management for CHF
- medication
- lifestyle change
- goals (maintain optimal cardiac function; reduce exacerbation)
surgeries - valve replacement
- defibrillator placement
- LVAD
physical impact of CHF
- fatigue/ decreased activity tolerance
- decreased strength
- decreased UE and LE ROM
- SOB/ difficulty breathing
psychosocial impact of CHF
- anxiety
- depression
- PTSD
- anger/ hostility
cardiovascular conditions +
- hypertension
- cardiomyopathy
- angina pectoris
- arrhythmia
phases of cardiac rehab
1: Inpatient
- mobilization, ADL retraining, education/ HEP
2: Outpatient
- supervised exercise, education
3: Community-Based
- maintenance program
cardiac rehab interventions +
- strength and endurance training
- stress management and coping techniques
- lifestyle modification education
- addressing edema
- addressing SOB
COPD includes:
- emphysema - “pink puffers”
- chronic bronchitis - “blue bloaters”
- peripheral airway disease
medical management for COPD
- medications
- supplemental O2
