cerebral palsy home care

A

cope - support, resources
educate on school inclusion, use of assistive devices and exercise, med admin, skin breakdown and resp infection, nutrition (increased cal), play and recreation (toys to affected side, put at a distance), safety (prevent accidents - side rails, no scatter rugs)

Q

cerebral palsy impairments

A

mintal impairment, seizures, contractures, incont, ADHD
nonabulatory: constipation, orthopedic issues, skin breakdown, resp infections, obesity
feeding difficulties: ftt, poor suck, tongue thrust, chew, swallow, talk, asp pna
resp problems: asp pna, chronic infections
impaired vision: nystagmus and amblyopia
impaired hearing
oral: cavities, gingivitis, malocclusion, grind teeth

17
Q

muscular dystrophy

A

mutation in gene for protein in muscles leading to degeneration

18
Q

MD early cm

A

btw 3-5 years of age: running, bike, stairs
rapid progressive muscular degen after initial normal dev
waddling gait, lordosis, + growers sign (walk up legs to stand)
brain intact

19
Q

MD progressive cm

A

pesudohypertrophy: muscles look like they get bigger but just fat deposits
ambulate ability lost 10-12 yr
facial and resp atrophy
cardiac or resp failure
mild - mod cognitive impairment
27 yrs with mechanical vent

20
Q

MD complications

A

contractures - hips, knees, ankles, spines
atrophy from disuse
infections - resp
obesity - inactivity
cardiac - end stages

21
Q

spina bifida

A

malformation of spine - posterior portion fails to close, failure of neural plate to develop into tubular structure
from low folic acid (vit B)
can be detected prenatally - prenatal sx can happen, or c section

22
Q

spina bifida occulta

A

only vertebrae, may not know you have it, no neuro deficits

23
Q

spina bifida meningocele

A

missing vertebrae and protruding sac (w/o nerves), no neuro deficits
enclose area, put sac back in

24
Q

spina bifida myelomeningocele

A

nerves in sac - neuro deficit
damage depends on where your sac is - most incont and paralyzed from waist down

25
Q

myelomeningocele tm

A

sx to close sac w/n 24 -72 hrs, 12 - 18 hrs if possible to prevent infection and preserve roots
neuro and plastic sx

26
Q

myelomeningocele cm

A

sac like protrusion evident at birth
hydrocephalus (s/s = enlarged head, bulging fontanelles, sunset eyes, downward displacement of brain stem/ cerebellum causing obstruction of CSF)
varying degree of sensory and neuro dysfunction
poor muscle tone in bladder and rectum, flexion or extension contracture
