Mod 1-3 Flashcards
Body Mechanics Tips (3)
position center of gravity close to patient’s
increase base of support
maintain vertical gravity line of body
demo. Deep Squat Lift
hips below knees & chest lifted
demo. Power Lift
1/2 squat
demo. Straight Leg Lift
reaching out of car trunk
demo. 1 Leg Stance/Golfer’s Lift
opposite arm and stance leg
demo. Half-Kneeling Lift
balance object on thigh when kneeling
demo. Traditional Lift
keep object close to COG
upper extremities initiate
demo. Stoop Lift
one-handed at side (i.e. luggage)
describe Supine positioning
head/neck pillow
bolster knees
arms hold pillow or supported in “T”
elevate distal limbs
describe Prone positioning
forehead on pillow
low abdomen pillow
shoulders & ankles with small pillow
describe side-lying positioning
body alignment in center of bed
pillow between legs
pillow under head
pillow at chest, between arms
describe seated positioning
pillows for trunk stability
support posterior thigh (popliteal space)
Transfemoral Amputation positioning
prevent hip flexion & abduction
- use prone
Transtibial Amputation positioning
prevent hip & knee flexion
-use prone
Severe burns positioning
avoid comfortable positions with adduction to prevent contractures
-use extension
Reasons for Draping (3)
expose treatment areas
modesty
warmth
skin protection
Normal Vitals: Body Temp.
98.6 (within 96.8-99.3deg F)
Normal Vitals: Pulse/HR
resting- 60-100bpm (higher in kids)
Vitals- Pulse Oximeter measures __
blood O2 saturation, pulse & HR
(SaO2)
Normal Vitals: Blood Pressure
<120/80 (systolic/diastolic) mm Hg
Normal Vitals: Respiration Rate
12-18 respirations/min (higher in infants)
active assistive exercise (ROM) benefits
some muscle contraction w/ assistance (manual/therapist, mechanical or gravity)
passive exercise benefits (PROM)
maintains existing ROM & elasticity
demo. desired movement
maintain circulation
active exercise (AROM) benefits
inc. strength/endurance
maintain muscle quality
inc. circulation, sensory awareness, & coordination
Superficial Sensory test: Light touch
use soft substance (cotton ball)
pt. identify location of touch
Superficial Sensory test: Pain/pin prick
use sharp/dull side of pin
pt. identify type of sensation
Superficial Sensory test: Temperature
use test tubes w/ hot & cold water
Deep Sensory test: Vibration
use tuning fork
place over bony prominence & identify sensation
Deep Sensory test: Kinesthesia
identify direction/extent of joint/body movement
pt. matches w/ other side
Deep Sensory test: Proprioception
identify static position of extremity
(if bent/straight)
Deep Sensory test: Deep pain
squeeze extremity
(less used)
Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Stereognosis/Tactile Object Recognition
pt. given object & identifies
Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Tactile Localization
pt. identify area of body being touched
Combined Cortical Sensation Test: 2-Point Discrimination
pt. identify perception of 1 or 2 stimuli
(consider low/high sense areas for test distance)
Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Barognosis
pt. identify variation of weight of different objects
Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Graphesthesia
Traced figure identification
-pt identify object drawn on skin
S1 heart sounds correlate w/:
ventricular systole
S2 heart sounds correlate w/ :
ventricular diastole
where does deoxygenated blood from the body enter the heart?
right atrium via superior/inferior vena cava
where does deoxygenated blood leave the heart to the lungs?
right ventricle via pulmonary arteries
where does oxygenated blood enter the heart from the lungs?
left atrium
where does oxygenated blood leave the heart to the body?
left ventricle via the ascending/descending aorta
