Q

What is fatigue?

A

is a subjective feeling of being exhausted. It is multi-dimensional

 Includes cognitive, behavioral, physical and emotional components
 Often not relived by rest
 Can interfere with sleep
 Fatigue can affect patients memory, attention and learning abilities
 Associated with increased pain, depression, decreased functional ability
 Fluctuating diagnosis (fibromyalgia) difficult to predict levels of fatigue day to
day
 Fatigue can be increased by fitness level and/or decreased cardiovascular state

Q

What are isometric exercises?

A

Static muscle contraction with no change n muscle length

22
Q

What are eccentric exercises?

A

Muscle lengthens as it develops tension.

23
Q

What are concentric exercises?

A

Muscle shorthens as it develops tension.

24
Q

What is remediation for weakness?

A

Interventions include:

* strengthening * ROM * endurance * areobic exercise

25
Q

What are isotonic exercises?

A

Muscles move joint thought ROM.

26
Q

What is good for patients with few impairments or who’s impairments are expected to improve?

A

Remediation for weakness

27
Q

What is grip strength necessary for ADLs?

A

35lb

28
Q

What are 3 factors that break test focuses on ?

A

1) Evidence of contraction
2) Gravity as a resistance
3) Amount of manual resistance

29
Q

Which one is higher, intra-rater or inter-rater ?

A

Intra-rater

30
Q

Not sensitive to change in what grades?

A

4 & 5

31
Q

What is content validity?

A

How well the test measure what is intended to measure

32
Q

Which test is most common?

A

Break test

33
Q

5 / normal

A

Moves through full ROM against gravity and takes max resistance

34
Q

4 / good

A

Moves through full ROM against gravity and takes mod resistance

35
Q

4- / good -

A

Moves through full ROM against gravity and takes less than mod resistance

36
Q

3+ / fair +

A

Moves through full ROM against gravity and takes min resistance

37
Q

3/ fair

A

Moves through full ROM against gravity, unable to take resistance

38
Q

3-/ fair -

A

Moves less than full ROM against gravity

39
Q

2+/ poor +

A

Moves through full ROM in gravity-eliminated plane, takes min resistance

40
Q

2/ poor

A

Moves through full ROM in gravity-eliminated plane, takes no added resistance

41
Q

2-/ poor -

A

Moves through less than full ROM in gravity-eliminated plane, takes no added resistance

42
Q

1 / trace

A

Tension is palpated, no motion occurs

43
Q

A

No tension is palpated, no motion occurs

44
Q

What is an example of Alter Method?

A

Learn to dress the affected side first to compensate for hemiplegia

45
Q

Use sock aid

46
Q

What is Modify the Task Environment?

A

Lower clothing racks to increase access to clothes

47
Q

When is Therapeutic Exercise most affective

A

 Most effective when used for orthopedic disorders or lower motor neuron disorders

48
Q

Contraindications for measuring ROM include :

A
  • Motion will cause damage or interrupt the healing process (measuring active fisting after flexor tendon repair)
  • You suspect fracture, subluxation or dislocation
  • Myositis ossificans/Ectopic ossification/Heterotopic ossification
49
Q

PALPATION

A
  • Practice! • Use IF and MF (not thumb)
  • Sensitive but firm touch needed
  • Find bony landmarks for measurement tool placement • Used to assess muscle contraction
  • Assess soft tissue status
  • Temperature
  • Blanching, edema, nodules
  • Identify structures that require direct treatment
50
Q

THERAPIST POSTURE

A
  • Stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly flexed, one foot in front of the other, stance inline with direction of movement. Shift weight from one foot to the other
  • Keep close to patient
  • Avoid spinal rotation
  • Use leg muscles
  • Adjust height of the mat to keep neutral posture
51
