modified plantigrade position
- LE WB in supported standing, leaning w/ UE support on table or WB surface
4 YO w/ CP - PT uses sustained position through LE casting in order to
- decrease hypertonicity - casting improves ROM and decreases hypertonicity through integration of pressure points and diminishing influence of spasticity

- headache - less glucose to brain
- NOT polyuria, or excessive thirst - more associated with hyperglycemia
- hyperventilation associated with DKA
ECG shows decrease in cardiac output - why?
- cardiac output: amount of blood that leaves heart each minute, CO = HR x SV
- afterload - force LV must generate during systolic phase, related to resistance in aorta and peripheral arteries
- as afterload increases, SV (and thus CO) decrease
- NOT HR - increase would cause CO to increase
- NOT preload - increase would increase CO
- NOT stroke volume - increase would increase CO

for CHF, PT concerned about pt exercise tolerance. what would be most responsible for limited exercise tolerance
- insufficient stroke volume during ventricular systole
- limited delivery of oxygenated blood to active tissues limits ability to exercise
congestive heart failure can be due to
- diminished pumping ability of ventricles d/t muscle weakening (systolic functioning) - weak heart pumps smaller volume of blood for each contraction of ventricles (SV) and reduces cardiac output
- OR stiffening of heart muscle that impairs ventricles’ capacity to relax and fill (diastolic functioning)
