empathsize learning through doing
CVA on left (right hemi)
- Verbal communication problems (aphasia)
- Decreased analytical and mathematical ability
- Motor planning problems (Apraxia)
- Depression more common
- Cautious
- Are more likely to achieve self-care independence earlier
CVA on right (left hemi)
- Visual/perceptual deficits
- Difficulty with tasks requiring spatial analysis
- Neglect of left side
- Dressing apraxia (coordinated movement)
- Slower to become independent
brain stem stroke effects..
can effect both sides of the body (depending on severity)
cerebellar stroke effects..
can cause lack of balance and coordination (Ataxia), can also cause slurring of speech (Dysarthria)
avoid learned non use syndrome because it leads to..
Decrease strength
Decrease ROM
Decrease fine motor skill
contractures
7 stages of recovery
- Flaccidity; no movement .
- Movement patterns emerge (synergies); limited voluntary movement; spasticity begins
- Spasticity peaks.
- Spasticity declines; movements more functional
- More difficult movement patterns are mastered
- Individual joints movements are mastered. Continued decline of spasticity.
- Normal motor function restored.
typical spastic pattern
Scapular retraction Shoulder depression and internal rotation Elbow flexion Forearm pronation Wrist flexion Flexion and adduction of the fingers
if not handled properly the hemiplegic arm can develope
pain syndrome
painful shoulder interferes with..
Interferes with the rehab.
Makes sleeping difficult
Requires more medication
Client avoids using arm for function
shoulder pain impigement caused by
trauma to the joint
shoulder pain immobility cause
by not doing anything, soft tissue tightness andloss of ROM
shoulder hand syndrome signs
limited shoulder ROM (with or without pain)
swollen, shiny hand with limited finger ROM
pain in even slight wrist extension
why should the hemiplegic shoulder be handled properly?
to prevent the development of pain syndrome
how to protect hemiplegic shoulder:
Never PULL on the hemi shoulder (to change position, transfer, stand-up)
Do not hold on to the hemiplegic arm to the support the person in sitting, standing &/or walking.
Avoid re-positioning in the w/c by putting your arms under their arms
Do not force painful ROM
Do not raise the arm in flexion or ABduction past 90 degrees without the scapula gliding
Do not raise the arm in flexion or Abduction without some external rotation of the humerus.
bed positioning to prevent shoulder pain and shoulder hand syndrome
position on hemiplegic side
check to make sure scapula is in full protraction (should be lying on scapula, NOT glenohumeral joint)
in supine, have affected arm at side on body, palm up (ext rot. of humerus)
how to reduce edema to prevent shoulder pain and shoulder hand syndrome
ice slush
retrograde massage
Active ROM
how to encourage movement of involved shoulder to prevent shoulder pain and shoulder hand syndrome
make sure scapula is gliding before ROM to shoulder
ROM only to point of discomfort
wrist in slight extension to avoid shoulder pain and shoulder hand syndrome
position on a wheel chair lap tray
possible use of splint
Maintain ROM of MCP/PIP/DIP joints to avoid shoulder pain and shoulder hand syndrome by…
gentle PROM; AROM
facilitation of a gross grasp
principles of CVA treatment
Make sure client is comfortable
If seated- feet flat on the floor
Respect pain at all times- never take PROM or AROM into a painful range
Work proximal to distal (Example: do not attempt to open a tight hand with out mobilizing proximally first)
Monitor for fatigue and frustration
Client centered focus is important
On-going education of client and family
3 ways to incorporate a non functional arm
- as a weight bearing stabilizer
- guided movement by assistant
- bilaterally (use both hands to do a task)
treatment activities for gross grasp
Sweeping
Holding bowl against body while mixing
Hold a phone receiver while dialing
Hold dishes while washing them
treatment activities for fine grasp
Tying knots (progress from thicker to finer yarn) Opening containers (larger to smaller) Bundling pairs of socks Folding paper and stuffing envelopes Picking up coins typing
functional mobility includes
Rolling
Sit to stand
Standing and walking
