Lecture 1 Flashcards
StrokEDGE recommends students learn what outcome measures?
FIM
Fugl-Meyer Assessment
Postural Assessment
Stroke Impact Scale
Trunk Impairment Scale
The Stroke Impact Scale is a measure of __________
participation
measures things from the survivors point of view
The Postural Assessment Scale is a ______ measure
Activity measure / impairment measure
It assesses the ability to sit or stand, with or without support
What does the FIM measure?
Whether or not they need assistance, and what level of assist they are.
7- complete independence
6- Modified Independence
5- Supervision setup
4- min assist
3- moderate assist
2- maximum assist
1- total assist
The fugl-meyer and the trunk impairment scale measure what?
Body structure/function
What test consists of randomly administered nudges to see if the patient can mantain balance, one in the anterior, posterior, and lateral
FIST
Function In Sitting test
What is considered a prognostic scale for strokes?
Orpington prognostic scale
What activities should be avoided when doing specific training for walking
-dynamic or standing balance training
-body weight supported tread mill w/ emphasis on kinematics
-robot assisted gait training
What intensity should gait training be when working with stroke patients
moderate to high aerobic intensities
T or F, gait training with virtual reality should not be used w/ stroke patients when teaching them gait
F, it is recommended in the CPG guidelines as something clinicians SHOULD use
When should clinicians NOT use an AFO on a stroke patient
Should NOT use an AFO to combat tone/spasticity
Clinicians should use AFOs to:
-Help mobility
- Help balance
- help gait speed
-improve QOL
Functional activity vs contrived activity
Functional activity directly supports the goal the patient has. Like walking training for gait
Contrived activities do not directly address the goal, like generalized strength training in order to improve gait
