cyclonic seizures
contractions of single muscles or muscle groups
40
akinetic seizures
loss of muscle tone for more than 30 min
41
status epilectus
extended seizures prompt medical intervention needed to maintain body functions and hydration
42
complex partial seizures
originiate in the temporal lobe and appear as lip smacking, chewing, or buttoning and unbuttoning clothing. similar to absence seizures
43
simple partial seizures
originate in the motor cortez and results in clonic activity of the face or extremities. may experience visual or auditory hallucinations or olfactory sensations .
44
facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (MD)
affects face, upper arms, scap region. sloped shoulders and limited ability to raise arms above head. manlike appearance in face
45
duchennes MD
most common form. affecting only boys enlarged muscles and a positive GOWER's sign have difficulty going up and down the stairs and getting up from a lying down position. progress quickly and wheelchair by age 9. die near their 20s as a result of respiratory problems or cardiovascular complications.
46
congenital MD aka (CMD)
onset in utero or during the 1st year of life. brain involvement is apparent along with neuromuscular functioning. It is characterized by hypotonia, generalized weakness, and contractures.
47
CMD 1
does no involve severe intellectual functioning
48
CMD 2
involves muscle and brain abnormalities
49
CMD 3
involves muscle, brain, and eye abnormalities
50
CMD 4
involves muscle, brain, and eye abnormalities.
51
encephalocele
a protrusion in the occipital region of the brain. typically associated with severe deficits such as cognitive impairments, hydrocephalus, motor impairments and seizures.
52
anecephaly
neural development above the level of the brain stem is lacking. do not survive infancy.
53
spina bifida
the most common type of neural tube defect. mild form is spina bidifa occult and no symptoms may be present.
54
myclomeningocele
most severe form of spina bifida. children usually display sensorimotor problems at or below the level of lesion. LE paralysis and loss of sensation is common. complications include hydrocephalus and arnold-chiari syndrome
55
erb-duchenne palsy
caused by an injury to the upper brachial plexus (the C5 and C6 nerve fibers, such as extreme sh. flexion (with arm overhead). weakness or wasting of the small muscles of the hands and sensory discrimination in the hand and arm. typically unilateral looks like waiters tip position
56
Klumpke's palsy
compression or traction of the lower brachial plexus. (c8 and T1). paralysis of the hand and wrist muscles (aka claw hand deformity) fabrication of a sling that fits proximally around the humerus to ensure proper alignment and prevent subluxation due to gravity. PROM and AROM exercises, tactile stem, engagement in activities that are bilateral in nature to increase body scheme,
57
TBI acute care intervention

58
TBI rehab intervention
assessments, regaining function with ADLS, regaining function with IADLs, regaining executive functioning, training on AD for school.
59
TBI community reentry intervention
home and community visits to assess activity demands and to problem solve strategies, home or school modifications and introducing to AD, collaborating with school personnel, family and rehab team.
60
Mild ID (intellectual disability) IQ:
between 55-70 ability to learn academic skills at the 3rd-7th grade leave. able to work with minimal support
61

between 40-55. able to learn academic skills at least the 2nd grade level and able to perform unskilled as well as some skilled work tasks
62
severe ID (intellectual disability) IQ:
25-40. able to communicate and perform some basic ADLs and health habits. often requires support to complete routines
63
profound ID (intellectual disability) IQ:
below 25. requires caregiver assistance for basic tasks also generally has neuromuscular, orthopedic or behavioral deficits
64
Rett syndrome
found only in girls. development appears normal for the first 6 mo. of age. the childs head growth beings to slow and she loses hand skills and demonstrates poorly coordinated trunk and gait coordination. initially a loss of social skills occurs but social skills reemerge later. common behavior is handwringing and other repetitive behaviors. usually non ambulatory and nonverbal by late childhood.
65

facilitation
observing the child and improving the childs environmental supports
77
monitoring
observing the child and letting the child know the OT is present. encouraging the child, using guiding questions to prompt the child to problem solve
78
gentle correction
characterized by altering the environment, reminding the child of the expectations, modeling the appropriate behavior, and redirecting the child to another location or activity.
79
moderate correction
giving the child a break by redirecting the child
