Intro Material Flashcards
Pathology
disease, disorder, or condition at cellular level
impairment
abnormality in anatomical, psychological structure and/or function
activity limitation
restriction to perform at level of whole person
participation restriction
inability to perform actions, tasks, and activities related to self-care, home management, work, or leisure
patient management model
exam
eval
diagnosis
prognosis
intervention
outcome
purpose of exam (4)
1 - gather info (sub/obj)
2 - determine functional and social status (ADLs/work)
3 - identify pt goals
4 - assess performance of structure
examination includes (3)
history
systems review
tests/measures
history from exam includes…
demographics
occupation
general health
past medical history
systems review from exam includes
cardiopulmonary
musculoskeletal
neuromuscular
integumentary
communication
tests/measures from exam include
- identify specific impairments
- confirm your hypothesis
- symptoms vs signs (sub vs obj)
- provocation testing
- positive/negative signs
evaluation is…
your clinical judgements based on the exam
medical diagnosis is the ________ code
ICD-10
* do not give pts a medical diagnosis
prognosis
process of determining the optimal level of improvement
plan of care
specific interventions that will be used including duration and frequency
how are short term goals different from long term goals?
- 1-2 weeks
- not really functional
- focuses on simple impairments like increasing ROM and strength
how are long term goals different from short term?
- > 4 weeks
- more functional
goals show progress to who?
patients, us, and insurance
intervention
purposeful and skilled interaction of the PT with the patient using various techniques consistent with eval, diagnosis, and prognosis
effects of AROM (3)
1 - nutrition (self-lubrication of joints)
2- motor re-education
3 - range of motion
effects of PROM (3)
1 - nutrition
2- decreased swelling
3 - range of motion increase
effects of RROM
1 - vascularization
2 - hypertrophy/strength
3 - neurologic changes
T or F: you get stronger by just doing AROM
F - you have to stress the system
range of motion progression
Passive > active-assisted > active
what to consider when working on ROM?
- mobility and stability of joint
- structure of the joint
- soft tissue across the joint
what are some reasons you could lose ROM?
trauma
surgery
disease
inactivity
hypertrophy
indications for PROM
- examination
- not able or allowed to move (pathology/post surgery)
- prepare for stretching
- education
Does PROM increase muscle strength, size, or endurance
NO
what does PROM do?
gains joint ROM
stretches muscles
controls pain
indications for AAROM and AROM
- Pt can partially/completely move a joint
- beginning of strengthening or cardiovascular training
what are some limitation of AAROM and AROM
- only allows for active ROM strength
- doesn’t facilitate skill development outside the motionc
contraindications for AAROM and AROM
- immediately after certain surgeries
- immediately after fracture/tear
- DVT
- excessive pain
- cardiovascular compromise
T or F: you have to have full pain free range of motion to add resistance
F: you can add resistance but only go to pain-free range
immobilization leads to…
- decrease soft tissue mobility
- decreased motion
- atrophy
- functional loss (neurological inactivity)
Do 2 or 1 joint muscles atrophy quicker if only 1 joint is immobilized?
1 joint, b/c 2nd joint still allows for some movement
T or F: slow twitch and fast twitch fibers atrophy at about the same rate
T
If you are immobilized in a shortened position there is a __________ in the number of sarcomeres and muscle is ____________.
decrease
stiffer
*opposite if muscle is immobilized in lengthened position
what stays the same regardless if the muscle is immobilized in a shortened or lengthened position
loss of mass, CSA, strength
T or F: early protected mobilization of muscle will increase results
T
effects of tendon immobilization
- decrease in size and number of collagen fiber bundles
- disorganization of fiber orientation
- decreased strength, elastic stiffness, and total weight
gentle passive mobilization of tendons does what?
- increase tensile strength
- decrease adhesions
- promotes normal soft tissue relationship
- decreases scar tissue
effects of ligament immobilization
- decrease collagen mass
- decrease in strength and stiffness
- increase joint stiffness
- will shorten if not exposed to stress
