Functional Mobility (2) Flashcards
What are the basic wheelchair skills?
Propulsion and pressure relief
Speed of movement
Time to complete the task
Amount of movement
Amplitude, ROM of movement required to complete the task, and direction
Control of movement
Smoothness, coordination, stability, sequencing, and timing
Symptom alteration
Guarded, shortness of breath, and pain alteration
What do you want to consider when performing an intervention for functional mobility?
Amount of cueing and assist (max assist at knee so it does not buckle)
What are the intrinsic constraints of an individual?
Neuromuscular constraints (
Psychological constraints
Biomechanical constraints
What is a closed environment?
Nothing going on in background
What is a consistent motion environment?
Consistently providing same motion like walking next to them
What is an open environment?
Real life like airport
What do you consider within the person when adjusting the challenge for a functional mobility intervention?
Stability (standing in place)
Mobility (movement)
What do you consider within the surrounding environment when adjusting the challenge for a functional mobility intervention?
Stationary
Motion
What do you consider within the objects when adjusting the challenge for a functional mobility intervention?
Manipulation (using phone)
