Pediatrics Flashcards
Manifestations also associated with equinovarus
increased hip IR
decreased tibial ER
tibial shortening
Legg Calve Perthes vs SCFE patient population
LCP - ages 2-12
SCFE - occurs more in adolescent years (11-15)
-overweight
LCP disease presentation
antalgic gait
shortened stance phase affected side Trendeleburg
reduced hip ROM
groin pain referred to medial knee
SCFE presentation
decreased hip IR, increased retroversion
12-15 - more adolecent years
obesity
groin pain, painful WB
toe out gait
Hydrocephalus
hydrocephalous is obstruction of CSF and backing up of fluid in the brain
What is a shunt
Tube that connects from CSF in brain and bypasses to the abdomen
Symptoms of shunt failure
in infant - head changes shape because of soft skull
sunsetting of eyes
lethargic
fever vomiting headache
personality change/irritability
seizures
Orthotics for spina bifida L1-2
Have some hip flexion intact, so KAFO with walker or forearm crutches
mostly WC tho d/t high energy expenditure
Functional diagnosis for spina bifida L1-2
WC for all mobility except physiologic benefits
Functional diagnosis for spina bifida L3
Strong hip flexion, weak hip rotators, partial quad innervation
WC for all mobility except physiologic benefits
Orthotics for spina bifida L3
Knee extension intact - depends mainly on quad strength
if less than 4/5 KAFO with walker/forearm crutches
if more than 4/5 AFO walker/forearm crutches
At what level spina bifida does community ambulation become possible
L4
Orthotics for spina bifida L4
AFO with posterior stop
forearm crutches/cane
Orthotics for spina bifida L5
AFO with posterior stop
cane
Orthotics for spina bifida S1-2
no devices needed
What allergy do patient with myelodysplasia often have
LATEX
Arnold Chiari malformation
brainstem pushed down through foramen magnum
swallowing difficulty
aspiration
facial palsy
ataxia
UE weakness
nystagmus
PT role with spina bifida
Promote proper joint formation through early weightbearing and positioning
Prevent osteoporosis
strengthening
adaptive equipment
GMFCS scale
Level 1 - can run and jump, climb stairs with **NO RAILING, basically most activities but may be slower and more clumsy
decreased speed balance and coordination
Level 2 - can climb stairs **WITH RAILING, minimal running or jumping, difficulty with uneven surfaces or crowds - forearm crutch
Level 3 - manual of power WC - limitation in home and community
Level 4 - power mobility
Level 5 - severe
Level 1 GMFCS
can run and jump, climb stairs with no AD, basically most activities but may be slower and more clumsy
decreased speed balance and coordination
Level 2 GMFCS
can climb stairs **WITH RAILING, minimal running or jumping, difficulty with uneven surfaces or crowds
Level 3 GMFCS
walks with AD and may propel a manual wheelchair for longer distances
Level 4 GMFCS
walking ability severely limited but may go short distances
WC most of the time with some use of power
struggle with standing transfer
Level 5 GMFCS
Power wheelchair dependendent
struggle to stand
CP prognosis is good if child is walking by age
2
Modified Ashworth Scale
0 - no increase in tone
1- slight increase, catch at end
1+ - slight increase with min resistance throughout ROM
2 - marked increase through ROM but affected limb moved easily
3 - definitive increase in tone, passive movement difficult
4 - affected part is rigid
Ashworth 1
slight increase, catch at end
Ashworth 1+
slight increase with min resistance throughout ROM
Ashworth 2
marked increase through ROM but affected limb moved easily
Ashworth 3
definitive increase in tone, passive movement difficult
Ashworth 4
affected part is rigid
If you see motor decline and head tilr with DS…
Possible AA instability
Normal APGAR scoring

APGAR score
0, 1, or 2 on each item

Erbs Palsy vs Klumpkes palsy
Erbs C5-C6
Klumpkes C8-T1
Prognosis for DMD
X linked recessive
2-5 years at diagnosus
Lose ability to walk after 10-12 years
Lifespan to approx 20
Normal development of independent sitting
6-7 months
Normal development of independent pivot in sitting
8-9 months
Normal development of Independently transition from standing to sitting
8-9 months
Moro vs startle refelx
moro = extension and abduction of arms with crying followed by flexion and adduction across patients chest
stimulus is sudden change in position of head or trunk
startle = same as moro but without flexion/adduction of arms
stimulus is sudden noise
ATNR
extension of arm and leg on side of head turn
Stimulus for ATNR
head turn
