midterm 1 Flashcards
core values
altruism
dignity
equality
freedom
justice
truth
prudence
philosophical assumptions
each individual has the right to a meaningful existence
is influenced by the biological and social nature of species
can only be understood within the context of family, friends, community
has the need to participate in a variety of social roles and have periodic relief from participation
has the right to seek potential through purposeful interaction within the human and nonhuman environment
OT promotes functional interdependence
domain
areas of human activity
occupations, client factors, performance skills, performance patterns, context and environment
process
use of enhancement of engagement in occupations
type of OT interventions, treatment approaches, activity and occupational demands, type of outcomes
most cited conditions treated by OTs
neurological
development
cardiopulmonary
orthopedic
general medical
psychosocial/mental illness
spread vs stigma
spread is assuming someone with a disability has other disabilities
stigma is thinking that someone with a disability can’t achieve something
stages of adjustment
shock
denial
anger/depression
adjustment/acceptance
evidence-based practice
clinical expertise, client perspectives, external scientific evidence
unselfish concern for welfare of others. reflected in actions and attitudes of commitment, caring, dedication, responsiveness, understanding
altruism
valuing the inherent worth and uniqueness of each person. demonstrated by an attitude of empathy and respect for self and others
Dignity
all individuals be perceived as having the same fundamental human rights and opportunities. demonstrated by an attitude of fairness and impartiality
equality
allows individual to exercise choice and demonstrate independence, initiative, and self-direction
freedom
plays value on upholding moral and legal principles as fairness, equity, truthfulness, and objectivity
justice
be faithful to facts and reality. demonstrated by being accountable, honest, forthright, accurate, authentic in attitudes and actions
truth
ability to govern and discipline oneself through the use of reason. value judiciousness, discretion, vigilance, moderation, care, and circumspection in one’s affairs. rational thought
prudence
client factors
values, beliefs, spirituality, body functions, body structures of a person
influence participation on occupations
performance skills
observable elements of action that have an implicit functional purpose
motor, process, social interaction
performance patterns
habits, routines, roles, and rituals of a person when engaging in occupations
can enhance or hinder
context and environment
interrelated conditions about a person, cultural, personal, temporal, virtual
risk factors and causes of CP
disorders of coagulation
low birth weight
intrauterine exposure to infection and disorders of coagulation
periventricular leukomalacia
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (perinatal asphyxia)
intraventricular hemorrhage (blood in ventricular system, hydrocephalus)
cerebral dysgenesis (undeveloped brain)
premature birth
symptoms of CP
hypertonicity
hypotonicity
hyperreflexia
clonus: rhythmic rocking
enhanced stretch reflex
absence of primitive reflex
atypical posture
delayed motor development
atypical motor performance
types of CP
spastic
athetoid
ataxia
contractures
permanent shortening of a muscle or joint, losing ROM
spastic CP
hypertonicity: restricted movement, contractures
accounts for 80% of CP
hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia, triplegia, monoplegia
periventricular leukomalacias
premature birth before 23 weeks
damage in white matter in brain adjacent to lateral ventricles
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
loss of oxygen leads to damaged brain tissue
causes fetal stroke and other delivery complications
intraventricular hemorrhage
not present at birth
first few days of life
bleeding in brain
hydrocephalus
cerebral dysgenesis
critical first 20 weeks
brain didn’t develop normally
hypertonicity
muscles wound too tightly
hypotonicity
muscles wound too loosely
spastic hemiplegia
asymmetrical hand use
dragging of one side of body
late walking milestone
lack of righting and equilibrium reactions
avoidance of weightbearing
spastic diplegia
both lower extremities or less severe arms
lumbar lordosis, dorsal spine kyphosis
scissoring while walking
plantar flexion of ankles
contractures
90% walk independently
spastic quadriplegia
4 limb movement
arms: spasticity in flexors
legs: spasticity in extensors
tonic labyrinthine reflex
dysarthria
scoliosis
athetoid CP
dyskinetic
most common type of dyskinesia
slow, writhing, involuntary movements
jerky distal movements
dysarthria
ataxic CP
wide-based, staggering, unsteady gait
intention tremors
hypotonicity present
poor balance/cerebellum issues
visual and hearing impairments in CP
strabismus, nystagmus, visual fixation and tracking, paralysis of upward gaze, lack of depth perception
sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss
cognitive impairment of CP
30-50%
1/3 mild
mixed types and severe spastic quadriplegia
otherwise average intelligence
seizure disorder in CP
25-60%
dependent on type of CP, most common in spastic hemiplegia and quadriplegia
epilepsy in 38%
most commonly partial seizures
oral motor in CP
dysarthria
aspiration
malnutrition
swallowing impairments
drooling from impaired motor control and swallowing
enamel dysplasia
mouth breathing
periodontal diseases
gastrointestinal in CP
gastroesophageal reflux
constipation
dehydration
types of medical management for CP
diazepam/valium
dantrolene/dantrium
baclofen
botox injections
orthotics
splinting
casting
surgical management of CP
tendon lengthening (more common on legs)
selective dorsal rhizotomy: stimulating lumbrosacral nerve roots
goals of medical management for CP
decrease spasticity
reduce tone
increase ROM
reduce deformities
prevent contractures
no long term effectiveness
goals of surgical management of CP
reduce spasticity and improve function
SDR goal in diplegia to improve gait and leg function, in quadriplegia to allow sitting for longer and reducing spasticity
highly successful
prognosis for CP
may require physical assistance, additional training, or assistive technology
ASD impact on occupational performance
difficult with conversation or making friends
highly sensitive to changes in environment
overly dependent on routines
