Intro to Transport Flashcards
wheelchair better for uneven surfaces
pneumatic
two modes of patient transport
cart/bed, wheelchair
propulsion of a wheelchair should be like blank on a clock
10-2
rigid base is for blank term
long
fabric base is for blank term
short
flat rigid base aka
planar
surface to surface transition
transfer
body mechanics applause stands for

moderate assistance
75% therapist, 25% patient
max assist
100% therapist, 0% patient
dependent
weight beariing where LE cant touch ground
nwb
weight bearing where foot may rest on floor
toe touch weight bearing (TTWB)
20-50% weight bearing
partial weight bearing
50-100% weight bearing limited by the patient’s tolerance
weight bearing as tolerated
normal weight bearing
fwb
used to transfer laterally as a bridge between two surfaces
slide board
patient requirement for 2 person lift
trunk control
patient requirement for lateral transfer with slideboard
cant fully lift buttocks but can shift weight forward
patient requirements for push up lateral transfer
tricep strength to use arms to push butt off chair
pateint requirements for assisted stand pivot
patient can fully stand and transfer weight without giving away
if someone has orthostatic hypotension, a blank can be used to get the person more vertical but not completely standing
tilt table
