what is ranchos levels VII-VIII
VII – Automatic-appropriate
VIII – Purposeful-appropriate
*Appropriate and oriented
*Robot-like
*Minimal confusion
*Shallow recall of activities
*Poor insight into condition
*Carryover for new learning but decreased rate
*Initiates social activities with structure
*Poor judgment, problem-solving, and planning skills
what ranchos level does this describe
VII: automatic appropriate
*Alert and oriented
*Recalls and integrates past and recent events
*Aware of and responsive to environment
*Carryover for new learning
*Decreased level of abstract reasoning, tolerance for stress, and judgment
what ranchos level does this describe
purposeful appropriate
what is the clinical presentation for a mild brain injury for the integumentary system
ulcers , incisions
after a mild brain injury deficits may increase with what 4 things
faitgue
stress
illness
heat
what are the activity limitation after a mild brain injury
*Activity limitations
◦ Bed mobility
◦ Transfers
◦ Wheelchair mobility and management
◦ Gait/stairs
what is apart of the participation outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting
Technique (CHART) - Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ)
- DRS (BS&F, activity, and participation)
what is apart of the body functions and structures outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- Rancho Levels of Cognitive Function
- Modified Ashworth Scale
- MMSE
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment
- Patient Health Questionnaire
what is apart of the activity outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- FIM/FAM
- High Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT)
- 6MWT, 10mWT
- Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
- Functional Gait Assessment (FGA)
- 5 Time Sit to Stand (5TSTS
what is apart of the environment outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental
Factors (CHIEF
what is the description for the High Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT)
Description
◦ Assess high level mobility in individuals with TBI
◦ No use of assistive devices but orthotics permitted
◦ Must walk without assistance x 20 meters
how can u prioritize PT goals
Participation restrictions → Activity limitations → Impairments
what 3 things go into motor control
-task
individual
-environment
what are some of the communication deficits one will present w after a mild brain injury
◦ Dysarthria
◦ Aphasia
◦ Impaired reading/writing
◦ Auditory deficits
why is awareness important
-leads to improved attention , memory , and problem soling
- ability to analyzer own performance
what are the 4 different attention types
-sustained
-selective
-alternating
-divided
what is sustained attention
Ability to maintain focus on a continuous, repetitive activity
what is selective attention
Focus on a particular task or activity in the presence of distractors
