multi d midterm Flashcards
purpose of the guide to physical therapist practice
describes practice
describes setting and role
terminology
clinical making process
reviews interventions
describes outcome measures
biopsychosocial model
complete
not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
define acute
very serious or dangerous, requiring serious attention or action
acute care today
advancements and improvements in life support
rehab services now treating seriously injured
treatment goals
prevent adverse effects of PI
prevent contractures
improve general conditioning
prevent pressure ulcers
return pt to pre-hospital level
special considerations for acute care
monitor vitals
compression devices
encourage mobility
homework
isolation for infection
tubes
safety
define disability
inability or restricted ability to perform actions
define health condition
pathology
disorder
disease
injury
trauma
congenital anamaly
define PT diagnosis
how the condition causes disability
what is an activity?
task or action done by an individual
what is participation?
involvement in life situation
what are contextual factors?
personal and environmental factors may be positive or negative
may facilitate or impede functioning/recovery
what all does a review of systems include?
cardiopulm
endocrine
EENT
GI
neuro
reproductive
hematologic/lymphatic
integ
psych

PT systems review
hands on
cardiopulm
integ
msk
neuro
what are tests and measures used for?
help establish diag, prog, treatment plan
what interventions to use
PT evaluation
putting it all together
diag
problem list
prog
goals
plan of care
define PT diagnosis
ID discrepancies between the pt’s level of function and what is desired
determine capacity of pt to achieve that level
define prognosis
optimal level of improvement
listing of goals
define problem list
impairments of body structure or function
activity limitations
participations restrictions
risks and causes of a hip fracture
osteoporosis
age over 60
any increase of fall risk
any increase in bone weakness
weakness in hip muscles due to PI
three types of hip fracture
intracapsular - break in capsule
intertrochanteric - between lesser and greater troch
subtrochanteric - within 5 cm below lesser trochanter
types of pelvic fracture
lateral compression
AP compression
vertical shear
favorable factors contributing to bone healing
early mobilization
early weight bearing
maintenance of fracture reduction
younger age
good nutrition
minimal soft tissue damage
patient compliance
presence of growth hormone
normal body weight
supportive environment
good general strength
unfavorable factors contributing to bone healing
tobacco use
comorbidities
vitamin deficiency
osteoporosis
infection
irradiated bone (exposed to radiation)
severe soft tissue damage
distraction of fracture fragments
multiple fracture fragments
disruption of vascular supply to bone
corticosteroid use
prognosis of total joint arthroplasty
fairly consistent positive outcomes with brief hospitalization
significant post op rehab in multiple levels of care
Total hip arthroplasty precautions (posterior)
no hip flexion greater than 90 deg
no hip adduction past midline
no hip internal rotation past neutral
Total hip arthroplasty precautions (anterior)
no hip extension past neutral
no active hip abduction
no hip external rotation past neutral
TKA recommendation
no twisting of LW in WB position
no sitting with legs crossed
avoid low soft chairs
do not forcefully bend operated knee
do not kneel on operated knee
use of walker as needed
total shoulder or rotator cuff repair
NWB and immobilized constantly unless PROM
no abduction or extension past neutral
AROM of elbow, wrist, hand
outpatient 5 times per week for 4 weeks is common
main causes of amputation
LE - vascular disease
UE - trauma
pain management focus in amputation
residual limb
phantom limb
musculoskeletal
residual limb and prosthesis focus in amputation
hygiene
fitting of prothesis
various types and uses
psychosocial focus in amputation
bereavement of lost limb
depression management
changes in social life
societal perceptions
daily needed focus in amputation
transportation
couple relationships
activities, return to work, sports
fall prevention
pt management for amputations
education
- positioning for edema control
- positioning to avoid contractures
benefits of early ROM, strength, mobility training
discussion of pain management, phantom pain
most common neck/back pain diagnosis requiring hospitalization
spinal nerve compression related to disk
compression fracture
what can a PT do for neck/back pain diagnosis
relieve, stabilize, strengthen, educate
NO bending, lifting, twisting of spine
describe a discectomy
removal of disc fragments that compress spinal nerve root
describe a laminectomy
removal of part of lamina to depress spinal canal
describe a fusion
use of instrumentation and/or bone grafting to stabilize vertebral segments
describe a vertebroplasty
injection of bone cement to stabilize a vertebra with a compression fracture
describe a kyphoplasty
insert inflatable balloon to restore height prior to injection of bone cement
what type of exercise is best for a spinal surgery pt?
walking
describe an acute care setting
inpatient with unstable medical conditions
24 hrs/day highly skilled services
PT role in discharge from acute care
reducing length of stay
communication with whole team
what are considered post acute care?
IRF
SNF
LTACH
inpatient rehabilitation facility
relatively medically stable
min 3 hours of therapy a day
must need 2/3 therapies
sees physician once a week
average length of stay for IRF
12-14 days
13 diagnostic categories that must make 60% of IRF pts
stroke
SCI
congenital deformity
amputation
major multiple trauma
fracture of femur
brain injury
neurological disorders
burns
arthritis
joint inflammation
severe OA
bilateral knee or hip replacement
skilled nursing facilites

at least 1 hour of therapy a day
one service
sees physician every 30 days
average LOS for SNF
around 30 days
what is the discharge % from SNF to home
