Examination & Evaluation / Outcome Measures Flashcards
what approach is conducted in pediatric PT
top down
what is the structure of the top down approach
- Family’s Goals / Outcomes
- PT exam/evaluation
- Identification of strengths/obstacles that hinder out comes
- PT strategies to negate obstacles
- PT intervention plan
considerations for initial evaluation
location
time
focus of exam
those involved
what measuring tool to be used?
what is the best location for initial examination
a natural environment
how are pediatric examinations typically completed in healthcare settings?
multiple disciplines or a team of providers will evaluate a patient
settings associated with pediatric examination (typically)
acute care
outpatient
home
school
in pediatric PT, what are participation restrictions typically related to
school
play
what is a discriminative test
one that discriminates behavior in comparison to normal
– is norm referenced
examples of discriminative tests
peabody (PDMS-2)
bayley scale of infant development
BOT-2
Test of Sensory Function in Infants
what is an evaluative test
test that determines small increments in performance either from maturation or intervention
examples of evaluative measures
pediatric index of disability inventory (PEDI)
gross motor function measure (GMFM)
what is a predictive test
one accomplished by a predictive index, classifies individuals based on what is expected to be future status
examples of predictive tests
alberta infant motor scales (AIMS)
movement assessment for infants (MAI)
what age is MMT applicable in pediatrics
3-4 years
– need the ability to follow directions
what is the FLACC scale
- testing?
- ages?
face legs activity cry and consolability scale
up to 7 years (verbal and nonverbal)
wong baker face scale
- measuring?
- ages?
- protocol
pain scale
3-7
0-10, 10 being worst
compare norm and criterion referenced measures related to
- reference group
- interpretation of performance
- objectivity of test
- instruction importance
Norm
- referenced to other children
- compare for age related norms
- low degree of objectivity
- not sensitive to instruction
criterion
- no reference group
- compared toa defined standard that is content specific
- competing against self
- high objectivity
- high sensitivity to instruction
standardized tests
- how they work
- what they are helpful for
evaluation to track a change over time
- set guidelines with directions associated
- will be retested and assessed using same tool
standardized norm reference tests include
Bayley-III
Peabody
M-ABC
BOT-2
criterion referenced standardized tests include
SFA
WeeFIM
what test is both criterion and norm referenced
PEDI
norm, but can be used criterion wise to measure functional status
AIMS
- ages
- time involved
- protocol
- ICF category
0-18 months
20-30 min
standardized observation of 58 items in different positions (prone, supine, sitting, standing)
activity
how is the AIMS scored
each observation is a point
total points plotted
percentile compared to norm sample
info about change over time and maturation
TIMP
- name
- ages
- protocol
- ICF category
test of infant motor performance
32wks post conception to 4 months term
2 sections with observed and elicited movements
activity
