Q

Health promotion

A

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. To reach a state of complete physical, mental and socia l wellbeing, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector but goes beyond healthy lifestyles to well-being

Q

Ot Interventions
Resilient, Empowered, Active Living with Diabetes (REAL) intervention
-Based on Lifestyle Redesign
-Focusing on integrating self-management into everyday occupations and route vs teaching self-management knowledge and skills

A

Core Intervention Principles
Context:
-Human occupation are situated biologically, socially, culturally, and temporally

Narrative
-Occupations take meaning from stories we construct about our past and our future

Habits:
-Activates can be classified as either intentional (goal-directed) or automatic (habitual)

Complexity:
Changes in activities are seldom linear and predictable, and often have “ripple” or “spillover” effects

32

  2. Compensation/safety
  3. Desensitization
39
Q

Sensory Evaluation: General Principles

A
  1. Client seated and comfortable in non-distracting environment
    - ->Support body part being tested
    - ->Occlude vision during testing
    - ->Eliminate auditory cues
  2. Explain Procedure
  3. Test on unaffected side first
  4. Apply stimulus distal to proximal:
    - ->in random order, at irregular intervals, maintaining stimulus uniformity
40
Q

Sensation

A
  • Light
  • touch
  • Pain
  • Temperature
  • Vibration
  • Two-point discrimination
  • ->innervation density
  • Stereognosis
  • Proprioception
41
Q

Sensory Re-education

A

the gradual and progressive process of reprogramming the brain through the use of cognitive learning techniques such as visualization and verbalization, the use of alternate senses such as vision or hearing and the use of graded tactile stimuli designed to maintain and/or restore sensory areas affected by nerve injury or compression to improve tactile gnosis’

42
Q

Sensory re-education

A

Following nerve injury repair and recovery:
–>positive results for CTS

  • Altered/new pattern of neural impulses
  • Received, but in accurately interpreted
  • Goals of sensory Re-education
  • ->re-interpretation of sensory impulses
43
Q

Sensory Re-education

A

Phase 1: no signs of nerve regeneration

  • Use of visual and auditory feedback (think about sensation!)
  • Mental imagery
Phase 2 (late phase or classic): signs of nerve regeneration 
-When client can first perceive deep, moving touch (protective sensation), touch threshold
44
Q

Phase 1 Mirror therapy

A

immediate start

  • 5-10 min 5-6x/day
  • first engaging with unaffected hand
  • Adding in affected hand
45
Q

General Principles: Phase 2

A
  • Early stages: learn to match sensation of touch with visual perception
  • Late stages: functional tasks, identification of objects through touch
46
Q

General Principles: Phase 2

A

eyes open
–>observe

Vision occluded
–>concentrate/describe sensation (silently )

Verification
-Observe and confirm

47
Q

General Principles: Phase 2

A
  • Quiet environment
  • Short, frequent sessions
  • Homework –multiple x daily
  • Educate family
  • Monitor progress
  • Breaks
48
Q

Phase ii: grading stimulation

A

Location of stimulus

  • Blunt to sharp
  • Grading: moving to static/firm to light pressure

Identification of sandpaper

  • Identical and different grades of sandpaper
  • Grading: lighter pressure

Identification of texture

  • Match sample texture with a small group of textures
  • Grading : matching larger groups

Identification of velcro letter
-Grading: time limit and identification of 3D letter

49
Q

Phase ii: grading stimulation (continued)

A
  • Tracing over figure (glue/Braille/epoxy)
  • ->Grading: smaller distances b/w point and intricate mazes
  • Picking up objects from a background medium
  • ->large objects in fine medium
  • ->Grading: small objects in coarse medium

Identification of everyday objects

  • ->large to small objects
  • ->simple to detailed/complex objects

ADL and work tasks
–>Perform tasks with vision occlude

50
Q

Desensitization
Why
Hypersensitivity

A

ordinary, non-noxious stimulation produces exaggerated or unpleasant sensation

51
Q

Desensitization-Principes

A
  • Progressive, graduated stimulation leads to tolerance/habituation
  • Use of stimulation that is uncomfortable, but tolerable
  • Short (10 min), frequent (3-4 times/day) sessions

Activity: ensure that sensitive area gets incorporated into ADL, work, etc.

Other activities:

  • Continuous pressure
  • Weight bearing
  • Massag
52
Q

Desensitization Techniques

A
  • Protect through splint to compensate for hypersensitivity
  • ->Wean from protection

Application of different textures

  • ->Massage, tapping, rolling
  • ->Immersion
  • ->Vibration

Hierarchy of tolerance
–>Client chooses level of tolerance with grading to coarser & rougher textures

Grading: force; duration; fq of application

53
Q

Compensating for loss of Protective sensation

A
  • Pressure
  • Thermal sensation
  • Pain

Goal: avoid injury
–>manage activities

54
Q

Who else might benefit from compensation

A

-Total or severely diminished protective sensation (eg. SCI; PNI; early recovery from CNS damage)

  • Damage can result from external forces normally avoided when the warning pain, pressure or temperature is felt …for example
  • ->Low loads over long duration
  • ->Repetitive stress
  • ->Skin areas over bony prominences
  • ->High pressures and shear stresses
  • ->Extreme heat/cold
  • ->Cutting or crushing
55
Q

General Principles of education

A
  • Use vision
  • Use of body part with intact sensation
  • Avoid exposure to heat, cold, sharp objects
  • Be conscious of force when grasping objects
  • Be aware of pressure distribution
  • Avoid repetitive tasks
  • Rest frequently; change positions frequently
  • Observe skin for signs of stress
