Q

Treatment for CMT

A
  1. Early referral to PT (helps to decrease length of care, muscle thickeness, and improves QOL)
  2. Initiate within 3-4 months of age
  3. Strategies include PROM, ARM, environmental adaptations, education

Q

Plagiocephaly

A
  • misshapen head or facial asymmetries
  • often accompanies torticollis
  • may require helmet therapy, which is more helpful for 6 months yo
18
Q

treatment for plagiocephaly

A

head repositioning
prone when awake
education + PT (most helpful)

19
Q

Rule out with plagiocephaly

A

craniosynostosis–premature closing of cranial sutures

20
Q

Brachial Plexus Injuries

A

-nerve roots stretched, which can be transient, permanent, and cause diminished innervation
-may occur in vaginal delivery
-can be sports or trauma induced

21
Q

Increased risk of brachial plexus injuries in neonates

A

shoulder dystocia
gestational diabetes
breech delivery
use of forceps or evacuation pump during delivery

22
Q

Erb Palsy

A

C5 and C6 (axillary, suprascapular, radial, muscultaneous, subscap)

GHJ IR and adduction, wrist flexion, finger extension

presents as waiter’s tip position

can easily dislocate due to weak shoulder abductors, flexors, and extensors

23
Q

Kumpke Palsy

A

C8, T1 (median, ulnar)

affects muscles of hand, sensation, medial arm. loss of thumb opposition

claw position – MTP ext, DIP/PIP flexion, thumb abduction

24
Q

Prognosis for Brachial Plexus Injury

A

erb – very good prognosis with early therapy, should resolve in 6 mo

complete – neurosurgeon required

25
Q

According to Individuals with disabilities education act, early intervention services means services that…

A
  1. provided under public supervision

4. OR at risk toddlers/infants

31
Q

individually assess and report their findings

Q

A

typically has formal channels of communication established

team may submit combined assessment report
