Q

Why is the average age of SCI’s increasing and who does it impact more men or women

A

Why: Life expectancies are higher, older people fall more and that’s the main cause of SCI’s -> less incidence in MVA’s due to safety measures put in place

Q
A
  1. Assisted low pivot transfer (2 ppl to 1 ppl transfer). Get him towards sliding board transfer. Build independence by being able to verbalize to care provider what he needs done for ADL’s.
    1. Impacts intercostal and accessory muscle use for breathing. May not be able to use abdominal muscles to effectively cough and increase work of breathing. Perform ACBT. We could use an AB Binder
    2. INSCI, 4+1 assessment, IPPA, general strength and mobility
  2. Grasping and propelling with a wheel chair, wrist extension exercises, apply hooks to wheel chair to help with propelling
103
Q
A
  1. Yes, she would be at risk for autonomic dysreflexia. She may still be in spinal shock but it is not resolved yet, so she would be at risk after that. Also above T6 = higher risk. Educate about noxious stimuli and to remove it to resolve symptoms. Signs and symptoms to expect so will be more sympathetic on top and parasympathetic below
    1. Neuropathic. I would have her do nerve flossing. Electrical stimulation, gabapentin
    2. INSCI, ROM, SCIM, 4+1 assessment,
  2. Perturbations for trunk control (anticipated vs unexpected), gripping ball, reaching and grasping. High reps and task specific -> reaching and grasping for silk above head or out in front
104
Q
A
  1. Use screening questionnaire (PHQ-9 -> mental health), referring to member of multidisciplinary team
    1. Send him cardiovascular guidelines (2 x a week for 20 minutes for strength and 3 x a week for 30 mins for aerobic exercise
    2. 6/2-minute walk test, mini BEST test, SCIM
  2. 3x a week with an RPE at moderate 6/10 , cycling to help with ankle ROM. FITT based on guidelines above and also perceived exhaustion during assessment. Strength: lat pull downs for upper and lower would be a weighted sit-to-stand. Focus more on sustained stretches (Hamstrings, gastrocs, soleus, hip flexors, abductors, adductors, pecs,
105
Q
A
  1. Female, age -> risk of osteoporosis. May have reduce bone density below lesion. Most likely to fracture distal femur and proximal femur usually below lesion area, may also wrist and foot.
    1. Decreased speed, stride length. Hard time to recruit muscle during gait. Start with therapeutic ambulation to start and then work to community ambulation (discuss what community ambulation looks like for her).
    2. INSCI, functional ambulation profile, evaluate UE strength, ROM, ADL’s, SCIM -> go on resources to find for spastic issues or don’t up to you
  2. Work on maintaining cardiovascular health, bodyweight support treadmill, FES, bike -> repetitive, sensory cues, environmentally specific, and what ever the 4th principle is
