OT Interventions in Neuro Flashcards
1
Q
Interventions
A
- Practice client chosen activities
- Practice in a familiar environment
- Make necessary adaptations to intervention
- Train pt in use of adaptations
2
Q
What functional limitations are commonly observed after a CVA?
A
1) Inability to perform chosen tasks while seated
2) Inability to engage in chosen activities in standing
3) Inability to communicate secondary to language dysfunction
4) Inability to perform chosen tasks secondary to neurobehavioral impairments
5) Inability to perform chosen tasks secondary to UE dysfunction
6) Inability to perform chosen tasks secondary to vision impairment
3
Q
What should be kept in mind when creating OT treatment goals?
A
- Maximize independence with ADLs
- Prevent deformity caused by tone
- Achieve maximum strength and ROM
- Increase voluntary movement for functional task performance
- Enhance somatosensory perception and compensation safety techniques
- Improve visual-perceptual performance through remediation or compensation
- Improve cognitive function
- Facilitate acceptance of and adjustment to disability
4
Q
What is the sensorimotor integration approach?
A
- Treat cause instead of symptoms
- Provide planned/controlled sensory stimulation through purposeful/meaningful activity
- Make it the just right challenge
- Provide auditory and visual cues to help with cognitive organizing
5
Q
What is the functional training approach?
A
- Method of retraining movement system using repetitive practice of functional tasks
- Reestablish ability to perform ADLs
- Focuses on symptoms instead of cause (bottom up)
- Goals: enhance ADL participation, environmental modification, improve limb function
6
Q
What is the task-oriented approach?
A
- Movement system must solve problems to accomplish motor task
- Pt tries to figure out for themselves how to adapt to a task
7
Q
What are neurophysiological approaches?
A
- Rood
- PNF
- NDT
- Brunnstrom
