INTRO TO HEALTH PROMOTION Flashcards
Nearly ___ of patients with stroke experience recurrent stroke within __ years and comorbidities CV conditions represent leading cause of death.
1/3 within 5 years
Fast twitch fibers are ____ sensitive to insulin
Patients after stroke experience decrease in __ fibers
Fast twitch are less sensitive to insulin
Post stroke: more fast twitch due to decrease in slow twitch
Paretic limb fat content is _____, muscle mass is ___%
Fat is 25% higher
Mm is 20% lower
Causing increase energy cost of gait
Decreased fitness more than age, sex
What are health behaviors?
Actions that are intentional or unintentional, that affect health of individuals or others
Greatest physical activity benefits in mortality risk are in ___hrs a week
0-7.5 (20% drop in mortality)
7.5-15 is also good (11% drop in mortality)
Up to 40-75 hours BENEFITS
What is most common way to do a home eval?
Give patient/family a worksheet to complete and draw a simple floorplan
*you can do a home eval with the patient and family present ideally
What can patients with tetraplegia use on their wheelchair to prevent rolling backwards?
Grade aids
___ people post stroke may prefer to go up backwards on a ramp, pushing with quads
Foot propellers, pushing with quads
What is progression for K levels of Wheelchair qualifying process?
- Standard manual WC
- Lightweight WC
- Power operated vehicle (scooter)
- Motorized WC
Scooters are more or less expensive?
More or less trunk control needed?
Do they have armrests and seatbelts?
Scooters are less expensive,
Less stable side-to side
More trunk/upper body control needed for scooter
Scooter seat may or may not not have armrests and seatbelts
Scooter has fewer seating options
For any WC prescription, the person has to sit a min of ___hours per day ___ their home to qualify for Medicare coverage
4 hours INSIDE
Motorized wheelchairs are only covered if they are needed to perform
ADLs in home/routine! (If patient can’t walk to kitchen to eat)
Need to be required at least 4 hours a day. FACE TO FACE VISIT WITH PHYSICIAN REQUIRED
Will Medicare pay for an electric bed?
Fully electric: no not at all
SEMI-ELECTRIC: (ADJUST HEAD AND FOOT OF BED WITH CONTROL, bed height is adjusted MANUALLY at foot of the bed)
When does SCAT6 have good clinical utility/best able to discriminate between concussed and non concussed athletes in acute stages…
First 72 hours post injury, up to 5-7 days
Functional balance problems
STEADI 4 STAGE, FSST, mini best
MOTOR AND SENSORY STRATEGY PROBLMES ARE
REACTIVE POSTURAL CONTROL ISSUES
Anticipatory postural control issues are
Ability to recover stability after external perturbations (strategies)
Shifting COM before voluntary movement like stepping-lift leg, arm raise, head turn
Sensory organization issue
Individual balance is what 3 things
Motor
Sensory cognitive
Task balance is
- Steady state
- Proactive
- Reactive
Environment components of balance
- Support surfaces
- Sensory context
- Cognitive load
Stages of motor learning for balance in the individual
Skill acquisition
Refinement
Retention
Environment balance sensory context
- Visual conditions
- Sensory agreement
- Sensory conflict
For patients with PD, ___ when performing concurrent verbal task
CVA/TBI ___ sway with dual task
Decreased postural stability
Increased sway
Postural adaptation problems are due to
Decreased ability to recruit agonist mm in response to big perturbation (strength)
Decreased modulation of response amplitude to different perturbation sizes (cerebellar)
Increased compensatory sway in opposite direction (anterior cerebellar lesions and MS)
Impaired central set
Inability to change movement strategies quickly to adapt to changes in demands
BASAL GANGLIA
Reactive balance retraining
Multi directions, different perturbations
Goal: strategies! Hip ankle, step
Anticipatory balance retraining
Voluntary sway
Self initiated sway
Wobble board, bosu ball, dyna discs
Treatment of timing problem for balance
BWSTT, FES
Treatment of timing problem for balance
BWSTT, FES
Treatment of amp problem
Start small perturbations then progress to large
Scaling problem: computerized program like balance master
What can we do with patients who have dyssynergia?
- Stability: rhythmic stabilization/alternating isometrics
- Slow reversal/holds for controlled mobility
