PEAT 2 questions Flashcards
effect size
- magnitude of difference between two mean values
efficacy
- extent to which an intervention produces a desired outcome under ideal conditions
effectiveness
- extent to which an intervention produces a desired outcome under usual clinical conditions
minimal clinically important difference
- smalles treatment effect that would result in a change in patient management, given its side effects, costs, and inconveniences
moist hot pack time
- ideal time is 15-30 minutes
knee MOI and injuries
- PCL: hyperflexion, hyperextension
- ACL: excessive hip adduction, IR, ER
- popliteal ligament –> reinforces lateral capsule, limits anterior/medial rotation of tibia, hyperextension of knee
- LCL: varus force in extended position
assessment of patellar tendon reflex is test of _
- L4 nerve root function
- L5 nerve root assessed with deep tendon reflex test of hamstrings
deep tendon reflex testings tests _ and does not incldue _
- tests monosynaptic reflex
- does not include spinal cord tracts/columns
should you ask direct or indirect questions
- direct
habituation exercises
- for vestibular hypofunction, not BPPV
brandt-daroff
- BPPV treatment
- nonspecific
- outcome not as good as canalith repositioning for BPPV
gaze stability exercises
- for vestibular hypofunction that resuts in impaired gaze stability
avascualr osteonecrosis
- d/t undetected chilhood developmental hip dysplasia
- in adolescence or adulthood
- s/s: hip or groin pain, limited hip IR/flexion/ABD
- TTP over hip joint
legg calve perthes disease
- 3-13 YO male, often small in stature
- avascular necrosis - disrupts blood flow to capital femoral epiphysis
- 4 defined stages
slipped capital femoral epiphysis
- in adolescents
- s/s: antalgic gait and pain in groin, knee, medial thigh
- externally rotated knee
- in acute stage, adolescent unable to bear weight on affected extremity
- obesity often a factor in development of condition
s/s of hypothyroidism
- lethargy
- decreased appetite
- constipation
- muscle aches
- cold intolerance
- decreased cerebral blood flow leads to cerebral hypoxia and slowed neurologic functions - reduced peristaltic activity -> constipation and decreased appetite, decreased muscle contraction and relaxation rate -> aches, decreased circulation -> cold intolerance
s/s of hyperthyroidism
- restlessness
- increased appetite
- diarrhea
- heat intolerance
parkinson disease s/s
- erratic breathing d/t dyskinetic movement patterns of respiratory muscles
- decreased chest excursion and inspiratory volume d/t rigidity and respiratory muscle weakness
hoehn and yahr stages
- for parkinson disease
functional knee braces
- reduce anterior translation at low external loads
- neoprene knee braces improve proprioception
e-stim parameters
- lower pulse frequency - promotes muscle strength
- short pulse duration - for pain
basal ganglia lesions
- difficulty with initiation of movement
motor info is processed in
- primary motor cortex in precentral gyrus of cerebral cortex
sensory info is processed in
- primary somatosensory cortex, located in postcentral gyrus of cerebral cortex
exercises for osteoporosis should avoid
- flexion –> compression fractures associated w/ trunk flexion
- instead, emphasize stretching antagonists muscles: shoulder horizontal adductors, shoulder IR, hip flexors, hip IR
food to avoid with GERD
- large meals that distend the stomach
- chocolate, peppermint, alcohol, caffeinated coffee, fried/fatty foods
- dairy foods and high-sugar foods have no effect on reflux
stress incontinence
- due to weak pelvic floor muscles, internal urethral sphincter failure, hypermobility of ureterovesical junction, damage to pudendal nerve
- due to increased in abdominal pressure - laughing, sneezing, straining, coughing, exercise
- not caused by anxiety
overflow incontinence
- d/t underactive detrusor muscle
- constant leaking of small amounts of urine and sensation of bladder not being fully emptied after voiding
urge incontinence
- detrusor muscle spasms
- sudden urge to void, involuntary leakage of urine
3rd trimester and inferior vena cava
- IVC pressures rise in late pregnancy - rise more in supine
- leads to decrease in venous return and cardiac output
- leads to s/s of dizziness, nausea, SOB
diminished dorsalis pedis pulse expected with
- arterial insufficiency
venous filling time
- for pts w/ venous insufficiency that present with hemosiderin staining
- venous insufficiency if venous filling time is < 15 seconds
normal respiratory rate for 8 YO child
- 18-30 breaths/minute
normal respiratory rate for toddler (1-3 YO)
- 24-40 breaths per minute
normal respiratory rate for infant (birth to 1 year)
- 30-60 breaths/minute
klumpke palsy
- c8-t1 brachial plexus injury
- weakness of finger extensors and intrinsic hand muscles for MCP abduction
erb palsy
- C5-C6 brachial plexus injury
- s/s: shoulder held in extension, IR, and adduction with forearm pronated
a patient feeling light-headed from sit to stand should
- sit and do ankle pumps
pulmonary edema is a symptom of
- L ventricular failure
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
- d/t inability of L ventricle to adquately distribute oxygenated blood through body
management of scoliosis
- orthotic management: for children with idiopathic scoliosis who are skeletally immature, have a Cobb angle of 25-45 degrees
- spinal fusion: for documented, progressive idiopathic curve, cobb angle > 40 degrees
