Lab Midterm Flashcards
hands at met heads/ball of foot facilitates
PF
hands at heel/calcaneus facilitates
DF
hands at navicular and 1st met head fascilitates
inversion
hands at 5th met heads, cuboid, lateral calcaneus facilitates
eversion
how to facilitate hooklying with LE
use hand at lateral border of 5th met with finger pads to facilitate eversion OR
index & middle finger on plantar surface of lateral 4 toes –> eversion
when would it be contraindicated to do bed mobility with the bed flat?
pt with EG tube
swelling precautions
If the direction of the therapist’s pressure is such that that the patient’s femur aDducts, what functional activity is being facilitated?
rolling
If the direction of the therapist’s pressure is such that that the patient’s femur aBducts, what functional activity is being facilitated?
standing (gait prep)
how can trapping be beneficial?
hold weak foot with strong
prevent overuse of less involved
encourage WB through involved
draw sensory awareness & attention to involved
how to progress 1/2 and full briding
timing for emphasis and primitive repeated concrations
T/F: it can be very hard to ween a pt from a more supportive AD
T
which principle is used with timing for emphasis during bridging to facilitate the more involved LE?
irradiation
what is Raimiste’s phenomena?
- resisted ABD on the strong side will reinforce ABD on the weaker side
- resisting ADD on the strong side will “irradiate” to ADD on the weak side
what compensation should you look for when doing Raimiste’s phenomena?
excessive lordosis
ensure no breaks are given between switching ab and ad
T/F: neuro pts always have weak hips
T
how should pt be positioned for scooting?
banana shape
it is easier to roll towards to _____ side
affected
where should PT always be when rolling?
on the side toward which the pt is rolling
how to cue core engagement during bed mobility?
lift chin
how to facilitate abs when sitting up?
downward pressure with thumbs at clavicle
reach across to opposite knee
lift head
how to align uninvolved pelvis after pt just sat up?
facilitate trunk shortening
what does maintaining the more involved scapula in protraction and depression help with when supine to sit?
head righting and protecting involved arm
Once hips are ____ and feet are _______, it is easier to bring the trunk into erect sitting
flexed
completely off the bed
considerations for supine to sit if extension synergy
- Keep involved leg as flexed as possible throughout
- Trap involved foot with uninvolved
when scooting back, if the pt ankles DF, the COG is too far _____
posterior
when scooting back, if the pt ankles PF, the COG is too far _____
anterior
what type of pressure is given to cue pt to lift bottom when scooting back?
approximation pressure at hips
what does PT’s leg do during scooting back?
give pressure to push back
Scooting and weight shift unilaterally is pre _____
gait
lift off (bilateral) is pre ____
standing
why is there less chance of falling with a scoot transfer?
pt COG is kept lower than stand pivot
