Interventions CP Flashcards
time –
Duration of intervention
Frequency -
How often (# of sessions per day, week or month) an intervention occurs
Intensity -
How hard the child works within the intervention session. Recorded as the number of repetitions per minute, day or week or amount of work.
Type -
Kind of intervention focused on any of the dimensions of the ICF.
Dosing -
Frequency, intensity, time and type of intervention
Which intervention approach is used to improve hand function, prevent joint contractures, relieve pain in a specific joint and can improve position of hand/thumb for hygiene -
Orthotics or Casting
Why are CIMT and Bimanual Therapy used together at times for children with CP?
CIMT forces the child to use the affected arm, essentially forcing it to improve at one handed task so that two handed tasks can improve. Bimanual therapy is the result and task practice of CIMT.
When used by an OT, what are guided imagery, myofascial release, yoga and meditation considered?
Complementary Health Approaches
movement interventions for high tone kids
Start with the base of support
Head and trunk control and alignment of spine
Relaxation- joint approximation, thoracic extension with rotation
Gaining range of motion and mobility
Use handling and facilitation to help gain functional developmental patterns
Evidence Based Movement Interventions
Home Programming- Task specific or activity focused
Family Centered Coaching
Intensive NDT
CIMT and BIT
Child Focused and Context Focused
Movement intervention steps
Sequence of Interventions is key!
STEP ONE: Preparation- an activity or controlled input provided to help regulate the child and/or prepare them for movement by practicing components of typical movement/development progressions
STEP TWO: Intervention- look for carryover of skills learned from your preparation to allow for greater/ more successful participation in task
Whatever you are doing for your prep carries over into your treatment

What would your intervention look like for her
OT Evaluation
WNL A/PROM in all planes of movement
Limited visual scanning of toys
Limited active reaching & initiation of movement patterns
Difficulty with all developmental milestones
Formal Assessment: Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2
Grasping: 2 months
Visual-Motor Integration: 4 months
strengthening core. Postureal control in sitting, yoga ball, working on midline reactions.
weight bearing to get rid of ATNR
bimanual arm use
Rolling
Rolling Development: Rolling from back to stomach leading with hips and thighs followed by stomach then shoulders
Prone Development: From stomach, raises upper trunk, shifts weight side to side, lifts free arm towards toy
Sitting Development: Maintains balances while moving hands and arms to grasp toy
Proximal stability yields distal mobility
What does this mean?
How can this help to create a fine motor intervention?
When we start to address fine motor needs we need to make sure we are supporting them proximally. Either they have that skill on their own or I am providing it.
