Q

rancho levels of recovery

A

I. No Response- Appears to be in a deep sleep, unresponsive
II. Generalized Response- Inconsistent, nonpurposeful responses to stimuli. Response is often the same regardless of stimulus.
III. Localized Response Specific but inconsistent response to stimuli. May follow simple localized commands (close eyes, squeeze hand).
IV. Confused-Agitated - Heightened state of activity. Bizarre behavior and nonpurposeful to immediate environment. Unable to cooperate. Lacks memory recall.
V. Confused-Inappropriate- Responds to simple commands. Fragmented response to instruction. Memory severely impaired. Easily distractible.
VI. Confused-Appropriate- Dependent on external instructions. Follows simple directions consistently. Carryover for relearned tasks.
VII. Automatic-Appropriate- appropriate and oriented. Automatic ADL’s (robot-like). Shallow recall.
VIII. Purposeful-Appropriate -Recall and integrate. No supervision required once tasks are learned. Slow increase in cognitive function.

Q

clinical disorder following left or right brain damage in which patients actively push with intact strong side, toward weak side,

27
Q

how to treat pusher syndrome?

A
  • Enable patient realize actual midline
    • visually explore their surroundings and the body’s relationship to their environment and see whether he or she is oriented upright. (eg. mirrors, use reference points- vertical structures, such as door frames, windows or pillars)
    • Practicing movements necessary to reach a vertical body position.
    • Performing functional activities in vertical body position.
    • move out of abduct/ext position > flex elbow, put hand on therapist knee (prevent getting in position to push)
    • bobath, NDT
28
Q

what side should you stand on

A

side they are pushing towards, weak side

to prevent loss of balance

29
Q
what are these?
•  Contract relax
• Hold relax
• Rhythmic initiation 
• Slow reversals
• Joint distraction
A

PNF techniques

30
Q

which PNF technique?
• technique increase increase mobility
• As the extremity reaches the point of limitation, the patient performs a maximal CONCENTRIC contraction of the antagonist muscle group.
• therapist resists or resistance band movement 8-10 seconds with the relaxation to follow.
• This is repeated until no further gains are made

A

Contract relax

31
Q

which PNF technique?
• technique increase mobility
• utilized when the agonist is too weak to activate properly or patient has a lot of pain
• restricted muscle is put in a position of stretch followed by an ISOMETRIC contraction of the ALL-muscle groups at the limiting point in the ROM.
• After the allotted time the restricted muscle is passively moved to a position of greater stretch.

A

Hold relax

32
Q

which PNF technique?
• technique increase mobility
• Begins with the therapist moving the patient through the desired movement using passive range of motion
• Followed by active-assistive, active- resisted range of motion, and finally active range of motion.
• Used for initiation of movement with hypotonia is present
• Progression – ”Let me move you” – “Help me move you” – “Move against resistance”
• Movements must be slow and rhythmical

A

Rhythmic initiation

33
Q

which PNF technique?
• technique increase Stability, controlled mobility and skill
• A technique if slow and resisted concentric contractions of agonists and antagonists around a joint without rest in-between intervals.
• used to strengthen and buildup endurance of weaker muscles and develop co-ordination and establish the normal reversal of antagonistic muscles in the performance of movement.

A

Slow reversals

34
Q

which PNF technique?
• technique increase mobility
• increase range of motion around a joint via proprioception
• Consistent manual traction is provided slowly and usually in combination with mobilization techniques
• can also be used in combination with quick stretch to initiate movement

A

Joint distraction
