Q

Ramp width Wheelchair Accessibility Requirements

A

36”

18
Q

Slope to rise ratio of ramp Wheelchair Accessibility Requirements

A

1:12 (for every 1” of rise, 12” of ramp required)

19
Q

Railings height Wheelchair Accessibility Requirements

A

29-36” high (average = 32”)

20
Q

Ramp curb height Wheelchair Accessibility Requirements

A

4”

21
Q

4’x4’ ramp landing required when Wheelchair Accessibility Requirements

A

ramp is excessively long or person has limited UE strength/cardiopulmonary capacity (req to allow for rest break); sharp turns (90° requires 4’x4’, 180° requires 4’x8’)

22
Q

If the ramp leads to a door Wheelchair Accessibility Requirements

A

5’x5’ platform required before the door that extends at least 12” (18” preferred) along the side of the door so person doesn’t need to back up

23
Q

Work readiness programs

A

aim to identify a person’s skills and interests to develop his or her readiness for work and to achieve the person’s goals related to work.

24
Q

Prader-Willi syndrome

A

Individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome often present with food-seeking behaviors, which might make waiting to eat until lunchtime difficult.

25
Q

During PROM exercises for a client with stroke, the client’s shoulder is resistant to flexion beyond 90°, although the client reports being pain free. What does this finding suggest to the COTA?

A

The scapula is not gliding to produce full flexion. The muscles supporting the scapula have likely shortened from disuse and are limiting the full range of shoulder motion. Both the humerus and the scapula must move to support full shoulder motion.

26
Q

A COTA® completes a home assessment of a person with Parkinson’s disease who lives at home but has begun to have mobility challenges. Which intervention is BEST to facilitate lifestyle changes to improve safety?

A

Introduce use of a rhythmic beat to facilitate mobility The use of rhythm has been shown to support mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease. This approach can minimize the impact of the immobilization that may occur from this disease.

27
Q

Bennett’s fracture

A

an intraarticular fracture of the thumb metacarpal bone.

28
Q

Boxer’s fracture

A

the result of a clenched fist hitting an object with enough force to break the metacarpophalangeal neck, most commonly seen in the fourth and fifth digits.

29
Q

A client who has Parkinson’s disease reports increased tremors, problems knocking items over while eating, and poor articulation, leading to recent social isolation. Which intervention strategy would be MOST effective for this client?

A

Educate about timing social activities when medication is most effective.

30
Q

Dementia with Lewy bodies

A

Distinguishing features of dementia with Lewy bodies are visual hallucinations and Parkinson-like motor symptoms.

31
Q

RUMBA

A

Relevant Understandable Measurable Behavioral Achievable in the time frame

32
Q

Conversion Disorder

A

a mental condition in which a person has blindness, paralysis, or other nervous system (neurologic) symptoms that cannot be explained by medical evaluation. Causes Symptoms may occur because of a psychological conflict. Symptoms usually begin suddenly after a stressful experience. People are at risk of conversion disorder if they also have: A medical illness A dissociative disorder A personality disorder

33
Q

Parkinson’s Disease

A

Slow progressive disease of the nervous system

Symptoms

Bradykinesia; Muscle Rigidity; Resting Tremor; Cog-wheel Rigidity; Micrographia; Dementia; Memory Deficits; Voice softens-becomes monotone; Reduced facial expression; Shuffling Gait; Freezing

34
Q

Parkinson’s Disease Stages

A

I- Unilateral symptoms, no or minimal functional implications, usually a resting tremor

II- Bilateral symptom involvement, no balance difficulty, mild problems with trunk mobility and postural reflexes

III- Postural instability, mild to moderate functional disability

IV- Postural instability increasing, though able to walk; functional disability increases, interfering with ADL; decreased manipulation and dexterity

V- Confined to wheelchair or bed

35
Q

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ALS

A

Degenerative motor neuron disease of unknown etiology; more prevalent in men; avg onset 57yrs; life expectancy 2-5yrs Symptoms

Affects Voluntary Muscles

Spasticity and Stiffness Weakness, low tone and atrophy

Speech deficits, swallowing and respiratory involvement

Eye Muscles; external sphincters controlling bowel and bladder management; five senses; heart, liver, and kidneys are spared.

36
Q

Peripheral Neuropathies

A

Result of trauma, pressure paralysis, forcible over-ext of a joint, hemorrhage into a nerve, exposure to cold or radiation, or ischemic paralysis.

Symptoms include pain, weakness, and paresthesias in the distribution of the affected nerve

37
Q

Guillain-Barre Syndrome

A

Inflammatory disease that causes demyelination of axons in peripheral nerves

Etiology unknown; may occur after an infectious disorder, surgery, or immunization

Three Phases

Onset and Acute: acute weakness occurs in at least two extremeties and advances (20-30% req mechanical ventilation)

Plateau: sypmtoms most disabling with little/no change for days-weeks

Recovery: starts head/neck moves distally; sig-complete return of func, may have residual fatigue

38
Q

OT TBI Acute Treatment Focus

A

Sensory stimulation

ROM

Positioning

Splinting

39
Q

OT TBI Rehab Treatment Focus

A

Regaining func in ADLs, IADLs, executive func skills, and community reintegration

40
Q

Stages of ALS

A

I: Independent in walking and ADLs, some weakness

II: Can walk; mod weakness

III: Can walk; severe weakness

IV: Req w/c for mobility; some assist w/ADLs; severe weakness in legs

V: Req w/c for mob; dependent for ADLs; severe weakness in arms and legs

VI: Confinded to bed; req assist for ADLs and most self-care
