mentally impaired
limited cognition or cognition is limited or cognitive limitation
patient couldn’t finish all exercises since they ran out of time
Pt therex limited today due to time restraints
When there is nothing to say
Patient has good recall of tx or patient still having difficulty with… or patient able to tolerate all exercises today without any exacerbation of symptoms/adverse reactions.
if you put adhesions… what type do you usually mean?
fibrotic adhesions
if a pt has a spasm, what are some likely things you may document
did it go away, how, responds well to ….
Things you will want to think about when documenting
AD, patient position, rest breaks, gait, verbal/tactile cues
A possible approach to documentation of paragraph structure
pt demonstrated. pt tolerated. Noted.
a patient can have limited what?
limited strength/coordination/flexibility/balance/wb tolerance
another word for cardio?
functional mobility tolerance/functional activity tolerance
Not only is about how many feet one can walk… but?
quality of movement
if someone lacks postural trunk support, they lack postural… ?
stability
Jim’s approach to working on someone?
take away muscular tonicity, then work capsule, then take through full range
Why would someone work balance?
safety and standing to minimize risk of falls, to increase functional activity, to increase standing tolerance
aerobic exercise is good for?
functional mobility tolerance/functional activity tolerance
PROM helps with?
promote lig and cap remodeling/aids blood circulation, inhibit pain via stimulation of joint mechanoreceptors
AROM helps with?
increase blood circulation, decrease clot formation from venous stasis, increase proprioceptive input, maintain contractility, decrease atrophy, increase coordination/motor control
Mobilization helps with?
restore joint mobility/ decrease, pain from joint structures,
moves synovial fluid to maintain cartilage health, maintains extensibilty and tensile strength of tissues, and sensory input for proprioceptive feedback important for balance responses
breathing exercises during gait? why?
well we know that breathing exercise can help increase and slow tidal volume, and slow HR > this can help increase functional activity tolerance
Purpose of stretching?
increase ROM for transfers/gait/functional mobility
purpose of PNF?
re educate the body on normal movement patterns
If patient states something, like “doctor said I can do alot now”
Patient reported her doctor said she “can do a lot now” - per patient.
difficulty? or Weight bearing tolerance? how much?
mild-moderate-severe
Things to ask the patient for subjective?
pain? Recent issues? Activities that give you problems? What activities you want to get back to? Last visit problems? What gives you relief? Is there anything you are able to do now that you weren’t able to do before?
I did something for the patient, or they did something
Performed
uneven surface means?
non compliant surfaces
If patient improved from last visit put….
Noted pt improvement on therex from YTB to GTB demonstrating increased hip abduction strength or patient tolerated increased resistance during standing hip abduction. Noted improvement from last visit.
Pt insisted on refitting AFO. whats wrong with this statement?
Should be “Pt encouraged to refit AFO”. I as a PTA can not insist/require a pt to do something.
no exacerbation of symptoms could also be said..
no adverse reactions
if they have pain in subjective, and exercises go well, then say
Pt tolerated a full volume of therex with no increase in pain/symptoms
If they don’t have pain in subjective, why would you do STM? rationale?
None. Don’t do it. Be careful.
When documenting for electrical stim…
E-stim, H-wave? frequency
Patient is practicing modified bridging exercises (marching in bridge), how could you state this is functional?
stabilizing trunk flexor/extensors while strengthening the gluteus max and quadrceps in preparation for lift”ing” activities
Patient is practicing push ups, how could you state this is functional?
Push ups use body weight to strengthen the triceps and shoulder girdle musculature in preparation for push”ing” activities
Finding neutral spine involves what?
drawing in manever to activate TVA and multifidus muscles and stabilizing trunk?
wall/ball squat slides is an intervention for a patient, how is this functional?
wall squats help to strengthen the hip and knee extensors in preparation for squatt”ing” activities
partial lunges and squats are being practiced by a patient, how is this functional?
these exercises are total body movements in preparation for learning body mechanics
