K1N4E4 F1NAI Flashcards
What are the signs of stroke? (fast)
Face (is it drooping)
Arms (can you raise both)
Speech (is it slurred or jumbled)
Time (call 911)
What are the recovery statistics for every 100 people who have a stroke?
15 die
10 require long-term care
40 with moderate-severe impairment
25 with minor impairment / disability
10 recover completely
What are the 3 types of ischemic stroke?
Thrombotic: arterial obstruction (atherosclerosis)
- large vessels
- small vessels
Embolic: cardioembolic (atrial fibrillation)
- thromboembolic
- paradoxical embolus
Hypoxic: hypoperfusion/hypoxemia
- perinatal stroke
- drowning
What are the 3 immediate treatments for hemorrhagic stroke?
Stop bleeding
Reduce intracranial pressure (ICP)
Stabilize vital signs (level of consciousness, headache)
What are the 2 types of hemorrhagic stroke?
Intracerebral: within brain, compresses & damages surrounding tissue
Subarachnoid: between pia & arachnoid mater, ruptured aneurysm
What symptoms result to a blockage of ophthalmic artery?
Severe loss of vision, no light perception
What symptoms result to a blockage of vertebral artery?
Dizziness, syncope, impaired vision, nausea, motor/sensory deficits
What symptoms result to a blockage of anterior cerebral artery?
Paraplegia affecting lower extremities, sparing face/hands, aphasia
What symptoms result to a blockage of middle cerebral artery?
Unilateral weakness, numbness, facial droop, speech deficits ranging from mild dysarthria and mild aphasia to global aphasia
What symptoms result to a blockage of posterior cerebral artery?
vision loss, diplopia, inability to see half of the view, difficulty reading perceiving colors, recognizing familiar faces
What symptoms result to a blockage of posterior inferior cerebellar artery?
Balance problems, lean to one side. Numbness on one side of face and body, eye droop, trouble swallowing.
What are silent strokes?
ones that happen and do not generate acute symptoms. In regions less directly associated with sensory/motor function
What are the 9 cell death mechanisms due to a lack of oxygen and glucose?
- Mitochondrial death pathways
- Apoptosis
- Pyroptosis
- Necrosis
- Autophagy
- Mitophagy
- Excitotoxicity
- Free radical release
- Inflammation
What are some contraindications to consider during assessment for exercise testing?
Resting BP 200/110mmHg
Unstable angina
Cardiorespiratory: can do treadmill test if patients can do at least 0.5mph floor walking
Strength: multiple reps to fatigue such as 10RM testing
ROM: goniometer and sit-and-reach test. prioritize testing joints affected by paresis
What are the 6 types of exercise testing?
Ramp, continual, graded, single grade, graded with breaks, combined
What are 5 common medications and what are their primary and exercise effects?
Warafin: anticoagulant, avoid high risk activity
Ticlopidine, clopodogrel, aspirin: antiplatelet
ACE inhibitors (rampipril, enalapril): decrease BP
Calcium channel blockers (nimodipine): decrease BP, increase exercise capacity in patients with angina
Diuretics (hydrocholothiazide): decrease BP
What is the difference between motor recovery and functional recovery?
Motor recovery: strength, functional capacity
Functional recovery: OT focus, feeding, dressing, hygiene, cooking, regain independence
What are the 3 steps of assessment and risk stratification?
- Current level of PA
- Presence of signs or symptoms and/or known cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease
- Desired exercise intensity
What signs or symptoms are you looking for with step 2 of the assessment?
- Pain/discomfort in chest, neck, jaw, arms
- Shortness of breath at rest or mild exertion
- Dizziness or syncope (loss of consciousness)
- Orthopnea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
- Ankle edema
- Palpitations or tachycardia
- Intermittent claudication
- Heart murmur
- Unusual fatigue
What 2 things do you need for intake history?
- Gather a comprehensive medical and physcial activity history
- Establish client’s desired goals and outcomes
What are the essentials for intake history?
- Reason for referral/consultation
- Demographics
- History or current conditions
- Current medications
- Past medical history
- Family history
- PA history
- Social history
What 5 things do you need to know about the patients current medical regimen? What 2 things are of importance to know?
- Name of drug
- Frequency
- Dose
- Time taken
- Time for therapeutic effect
- Does the drug have exercise response?
- Are there side effects that would affect client’s performance during exercise/safety?
