OCTA 227 Midterm Flashcards
STROKE (CVA)
Sudden loss of blood supply to the brain that damages & kills brain cells resulting in neurological deficits related to the involved areas of the brain
paralysis on one side of the body
hemiplegia
partial motor loss on one side of the body
hemiparesis
Warning Signs of a stroke:
*Numbness/Weakness
*Confusion
*Slurred Speech/Severe Headache
*Blurred vision
*Dizziness
*
Never…..SCBDD
- Right sided hemiplegia & sensory loss
- Right visual field cuts
- Impaired R/L discrimination, verbal apraxia
- Decreased analytical thinking, impaired logic, time concepts, memory, aphasia
Left CVA
- Left sided weakness & sensory loss
- Left field cuts, visual neglect
- Unilateral neglect
- Impaired attention span, understanding of whole, decreased creativity
- Impulsivity, emotional lability
- -Decreased ability to differentiate between gesture, decreased learning for familiar info
Right CVA
low muscle tone
hypotonicity
high muscle tone
hypertonicity
Synergy Patterns (Flexion)
- Scapular adduction & elevation
- Humeral abduction & external rotation
- Elbow flexion
- Digit flexion
- Forearm supination
- Wrist flexion
Synergy Patterns (Extension)
- Scapular abduction & depression
- Humeral adduction & internal rotation
- Elbow extension
- Digit flexion or extension
- Forearm pronation
- Wrist flexion or extension
SHED FIELD WORK
Role of OT with Stroke pts
- Improving motor function on affected side
- Integrating sensory, visual perceptual, & cognitive functions
- Facilitating maximal level of functional independence
- Encourage return to life roles as possible
- Promote health management & maintenance behaviors to prevent recurrent stroke
Signs of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
Skin-texture Skin-color Skin-temperature Swelling Stiffness Pain Motor disability Hypersensitive to cold Hair/nail growth patterns EDEMA, IRREGULAR BLOOD FLOW
Treatments (C R I M P L W)
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
Treatment for RSD
Chronic pain syndrome that develops in upper and lower extremities especially after brain injuries.
C. R. I. M. P. L. W
- Coban wrap, compression , cortisone(oral)
- Retrogade massage
- Ice
- Movement…..AROM or PROM
- Positioning——Elevating
- Lymph drainage
- Wrist flexion (AVOID)
APHASIA DEFINED
TREATMENTS
TYPES OF APHASIA
DEFINED Communication disorder resulting in impaired Speech….Writing……Reading…..Listening Speech Production Language Comprehension DOES NOT IMPAIR I.M.P.S Intellectual Motor Psychiatric Sensory ****************************************************************** TREATMENT C——COLLABORATE WITH SLP R—. REPHRASE I—. INCLUDE FAMILY M—. MESSAGES SHORT AND SIMPLE P—. PRAISE EFFORTS AND ATTEMPTS E- EYE CONTACT R—- RESPONSE TIME
G—-Gestures I——Instructions F—Face to Face ****************************************************************** SEVERAL TYPES: Broca’s Wernicke’s Global
Broca’s Aphasia
(expressive, non fluent )
Understanding of language is in tact Difficulties with spoken language Difficulty with speech production Choppy, slow and labored sentences Mispronunciations Alert and oriented Give responses
Wernicke’s Aphasia
(receptive, fluent)
Weird erroneous speech output language Reduced comprehension Anosognosia—-unawareness of erroneous language Paraphasic—wrong word substitution
Neologism— made up words/mixed language
Global Aphasia
loss of both language skills
ability to speak in usually gone
may appear to respond to gestures
voice tone changes
facial expressions
Praxis
The ability to plan and perform purposeful movement
Apraxia
An impairment in praxis, deficit in the ability to perform purposeful movement despite normal motor power, sensation, coordination, and general comprehension.
What are the 3 types of Apraxia?
- Ideomotor
- Constructional
- Ideational
Ideomotor Apraxia
A type of apraxia that involves the ability to perform a motor act on command.
A type of apraxia that is a deficit in the ability to copy, draw, or construct a design, whether on command or spontaneously
Constructional Apraxia
A type of apraxia that involves the inability to comprehend concept of movement or execute act automatically or in response to a command (difficulty sequencing, etc)
Ideational Apraxia
A medical scale used to assess individuals after a closed head injury, including traumatic brain injury, based on cognitive and behavioral presentations as they emerge from coma
Rancho Los Amigos Scale
An injury that results from a penetrating (open) or nonpenetrating (closed injury to the brain
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
direct trauma to the head by an object that penetrates the skull and brain
Open Brain Injury
caused by acceleration, deceleration, and rotational forces are applied to the head that cause brain tissue to shear (tear apart)
Closed brain injury
What are the 6 types of attention?
- Focused
- Sustained
- Selective
- Alternating
- Divided
- Concentration
A type of attention that gives you ability to respond to different kinds of stimulation
Focused Attention
A type of attention that gives you the ability to maintain attention for a long time (vigilance)
Sustained Attention
