Module 2 Flashcards
What movements are possible with a C5 SCI?
Shoulder flexion, abduction and extension.
what muscle must score atleast a 3 in order to be considered a C5?
Elbow flexion (per ASIA classification)
What level gives stability in long sitting?
C5 allows stability in long sitting because the posterior deltoids can allow the pt extend the shoulder and lock out the elbow in extension without the need for triceps.
what is the first level of injury where self-feeding is possible?
C5 because of the biceps innervation and shoulder flexion.
what are some functional activity goals for C5
Driving may be possible and manual pressure relief, or WC mobility.
what must be present for a person to be considered a C6 LOI
Wrist extension of atleast 3
what are the significant movements possible at a C6 versus a C5?
C6 has wrist extension, some arm adduction, and forearm supination making it more likely to be independent with ADLs w/ the help of equipment (U-cuff, Straps, etc. )
elbow extension and finger flexion of atleast 3 is atleast what level according to AIS classification?
C7
what are the functional goals for a C7 injury?
independence in all aspects (grooming, feeding, dressing, B&B, WC, transfers, etc)
hip flexion is a 3 according to AIS classifications this patient is atleast of level of NLI?
L2
what is the minimum muscular innervation for a pt to be considered a T1
finger abduction
In order to be considered an L3 NLI you must have atleast a 3 motor score for what movement?
knee extension.
patients with injuries below the S1 level are more likely to have distal or proximal weakness?
proximal
what movement innervation must be present for S1 NLI?
plantarflexion
does forward or rear wheel axel provide more efficient propulsion?
forward wheel axel provides more efficient propulsion at the cost of stability. The goal is to move the axel as far forward as possible while maintaining stability.
