Q

Unilateral neglect (4 things about it)

A
  1. ~inability to recognize half of your sensory form ½ your body that is not due to a sensory loss
  2. ~Usually left side
  3. ~pusher- push towards their affected side/ involved side
  4. ~The person will not know/ think about the involved side; the body wants to compensate and will push towards the involved side to try and make a new midline

A
  1. ~Small difference are hard for the pt to discriminate/ separate
  2. ~If you open up a drawer- there are lots of long skinny object (pencils, pens, tooth brush, etc) but they all look the same to the stroke pt

  2. ~They wont remember how to get to the restroom
  3. ~Very common in TBI and stroke; good reason to keep them in therapy

Q

describe “Depth and distance perception” impairment

A
  1. ~Can be visual
  2. ~Do you where glasses? Near or far sighted?
  3. ~Stairs- can look like a slide or a wall; pouring into a glass; curves; potholes/ bumps in the ground
22
Q

describe “Vertical disorientation”

A
  1. ~Everyone is off by 10-15*at first after stroke; not standing straight because they think the world is off tilted
  2. ~The world is off to them, so they walk funny/ at an angle
  3. ~*like you are walking through the crazy house
  4. ~Typically gets better; can occur in either type of stroke (right or left)
23
Q

what are three Agnoias?

A
  1. ~visual agnosia
  2. ~auditory agnosia
  3. ~tactile/ asterognosis
24
Q

describe Visual agnosia

A
  1. ~Has normal eye function/ their eyes work
  2. ~They have problems naming the object when they just looking at it
  3. ~If they can hold it, they can name it right away
  4. ~Just can’t process the visual pathways to say what it is
25
describe Auditory agnosia
1. ~They can still hear, but is a sound has a similar sound, it sound the same 2. ~Inability to recognize/ decipher the sounds 3. ~Bark and lightening; cell phone and an ambulance going down the street, voices will probably sounds similar 4. ~Typically have other processing issues
26
describe Tactile/ astereognosis
Cant tell you what it is when it is in your hand without looking at it
27
list four Apraxias
1. ~ideomotor 2. ~ideational 3. ~constructional 4. ~dressing
28
describe Ideomotor apraxia
1. ~Breakdown btw concept and performance 2. ~They can do the task but they cannot do the task when asked~Can brush their teeth without thinking, but if you ask them to do it, they cant 3. ~Can get it form an idea to a motor 4. ~You can sometimes trick them into doing it (if you tell them to stand, they cant, but if you try and get them to get a drink of water, they will easily stand up) 5. ~Also tend to perseverate (motor or verbal)- yes, yes, yes, yes or they keep doing the same action over and over again
29
describe Ideational apraxia
1. ~A complete failure of the conceptionalization of the task 2. ~Cant even do the task~Have no idea on how to put the tasks together to walk, stand up, roll over, etc
30
describe Constructional apraxia
The ability to put parts together to make a whole (in the correct way)
31
describe Dressing apraxia
1. ~Are you able to dress properly 2. ~Putting underwear on the outside, etc
32
what do we need to know about Non equilibrium tests?
Does someone have coordination outside of balance; don’t have to know all these, but should know at least one for UE and LE for exams
33
what are some Non equilibrium tests? (16)
* 1) Finger-to-nose * 2) Finger-to therapist’s finger * 3) Finger-to-finger * 4) Alternate nose-to-finger * 5) Finger opposition * 6) Mass grasp * 7) Pronation/supination * 8) Rebound test * 9) Tapping (hand) * 10) Tapping (foot) * 11) Pointing and past pointing * 12) Alternate heel-to-knee; heel-to-toe * 13) Toe to examiner’s finger * 14) Heel on shin (common) * 15) Drawing a circle * 16) Fixation or position holding
34
what are some Equilibrium tests?
Testing balance- berg’s, etc
35
COM- stands for
Center of mass
36
COM- male vs female (locations)
Men COM is around the navel, but females are lower because of hips
37
describe: Cone of stability
1. ~if you take your COM to the limits of the BOSs without falling (leading forwards/ backwards/ side to side) 2. ~After you fall, the person has a very small cone when standing
38
what is Retropulsion?
1. ~after the fall, fight standing up 2. ~will push back so they will move backwards 3. ~rigid extension
39
BOS- stand for
Base of support
40
what are some things that can make a BOS?
1. ~Feet: different when they are shoulder width, staggered, narrow, etc 2. ~can be your butt when sitting- want 90/90/90 (hip, knee, ankles); moving forward and backwards will change BOS bc it changes where the feet are
41
As you get older, your BOS will..
get more narrow
42
what is Balance?
Maintaining your COM over your BOS
43
6 things that can Influence COM
1. ~Large boobs 2. ~Larger belly/ pregnancy 3. ~Backpacks 4. ~HALOs 5. ~Amputees 6. ~Injuries on LE- will stand on the uninvolved side
44
If you start to fall to try and keep from fall, what are the 3 stragegies?
1. ~Bend at the ankle 2. ~Bend at the hip 3. ~Take a step
45
If pt has fallen...
Do fall prevention training 1. ~You want to work on putting them right to the point of them falling without making them fall 2. ~Don’t let them fall! 3. ~Strengthen muscles and neuro system to work faster 4. ~Will find out where they are weak and work on that part 5. ~You want to perturb them, unstable surfaces, etc 6. ~Want to do a lot of single leg stuff (walking involves single leg stance)
46
Standing with assistive devices- cane what happens to COM?
Com is in the center, but if you have a cane, the cane will move the COM towards the cane side
47
Standing with assistive devices- crutches What happens to COM?
Crutches are like a double cane (one on each side) people need to be really good with their BOS with the feet are off the ground
48
Standing with assistive devices-walker what happens to COM?
1. ~Walkers- make sure that the pt is within the walk’s base 2. ~if the walker is in front of the pt, the COM is way in front of the feet 3. ~Different walkers: Standard walker, rolling walker, posterior walker, hemiplegic walker
49
Standing with assistive devices- roller issues
Roller- will not let you get within the walking space
50
Standing with assistive devices- cane
COM is normally in the center, but if you have a cane, the cane will move the COM towards the cane side
