Q

Pediatric Rehabilitation FORs

Q

Community re-integration programs

A

Therapists work with children in actual childhood environments to better re-integrate them into the community after illness or injury.

Have therapy in McDonald’s McPlay Place to work on child playing in a typical environment or an adolescent work on visual motor integration at a video arcade

  • Advocacy for children and families
  • Encouragement of improved function within naturalistic environment
  • Types of intervention (promote/creation, maintenance, establish/restore, prevention, adaptation/modification)
19
Q

Evaluations

A
  • Start with biomechanical evaluation (ROM, head control, sitting balance, cognitive awareness)
  • Progress to functional skills as able (ADL’s, fine motor skills, feeding/swallow, social skills)
  • Standardized tests (MMT, Bailey, Peabody, HELP)
20
Q

Sensory stimulation

A
  • Visual input: eyes open, tracking, locating objects on command
  • Auditory input: turn to sounds, tolerating tv or music, following commands
  • Tactile input: Tolerating touch, providing different sensations that are soft/rough/textured, holding an object or tactile exploration, tolerating handling for positioning
  • Smells: providing various familiar smells and watching for reactions: vanilla, orange, peppermint, cinnamon, chocolate
  • Vestibular Input: Tolerating position changes
21
Q

ROM and strengthening

A

Begin strengthening from day 1

Provide passive stretch where movement is limited

  • Tenodesis stretch- to facilitate grasp for SCI
  • Consider splinting
22
Q

Eating

A
  • Assess safety of swallow
  • Often experience change in hunger
  • If UE’s are not affected then progress feeding from an inclined bed, to eating in w/c, to standard chair.
  • Assess pace of eating (initiation of bites and swallows), FM skills for eating, and need for set-up of meal.
23
Q

Grooming

A

-Adaptive equipment

Q

Bathing

A
  • begin with bed baths
  • dependent lift or use of Hoyer lift to reclining bath chair or supine bath cart.
  • Begin bathing on transfer tub bench.
26
Q

Toilet Transfers

A

It is difficult independently complete slide board transfer onto a commode unless it has swing away/drop down arms
Recommend use a Stand Pivot Transfer, Hoyer Lift, or 2 person dependent lift instead
Recommend toilet transfer board to start
Public restrooms and home bathrooms often have limited space (see video)
Patients will need to have advanced dressing skills to dress in a w/c or in standing to be independent with toileting on a toilet.

27
Q
