Precautions/Contraindications Flashcards
History of PE
Precaution/contraindication for postural drainage
Precaution
Precaution/contraindication: Traction for labral tears
Contraindication
labral tears are considered an instability
Vital capacity of less than … is contraindicated for aquatic therapy
1 L (1000 mL)
Contraindications to cold
PVD/circulation issues
Cryoglobulinemia - blood turns to gel with cold
Raynauds - vasconstriction of fingers
Hypersensitivity or cold urticaria
Rheumatic diseases
Why is HTN a precaution for cold application
if blood vessels are already stressed with increased pressure, vasoconstriction could further increase the pressure
Upward displacement of HH =
RC tear
Nerve root impaired with L4/5 spondylolythesis
L4
Quads are fully innervated at ehat level
L4
Weak hip flexors =
circumducted gait
Convinience sampling does what to your study
decreases internal validity
biofeedback initial settings - muscle spasm
Low-detection sensitivity with recording electrodes placed closely together.
normal q angle
18 fem
13 male
Bracing for carpal tunnel best evidence
use night splint first
only use day splint if night does not work
Anterior scalene action - how to stretch
contralatearl rotation
ipsilateral side bend and
Biofeedback for muscle spasm
Low-detection sensitivity with recording electrodes placed closely together
Biofeedback for muscle strength
high sensitivity with electrodes wide
Weak plantarflexor gait pattern
abbreviated contralateral step length
Half kneeling or sharpened Romberg is gonna put more weight through ant/post leg
posterior leg
Ataxic CP tone
low tone
How to stretch for torticollis (L)
R sidebend L rotate + extension
Intervention athetoid CP
Facilitating co-contraction patterns and volunary movement
Prone elbows milestoen
2-3 months
2-3 month moilestones
prone elbows
can lift head briefly
palmar - reflexive grasp
4-5 month milestones
no head lag when pull to sit
prone to supine
feet to mouth
Posterior cord nerves
radial
axillary
throracodorsal
subscapular (upper/lowers)
Medial cord nerves
median
ulnar
medial pectoral - pec major/minor
Lateral cord nerves
musculocutanous
median
Rubrospinal tract
facilitate flexor muscles in UE
inhibit extensor muscles
Tectospinal tract
Bed rest is worse/hits hardest on
LE extensors (quad)
Foot too far anterior w/ prosthetic =
knee hyperextension through stance (delayed knee flexion)
Heel cushion thats too stiff =
increased knee flexion (think of it as heel lift pushing tibia anteiorly)
Hip felxor contracture - gait deviation
A shorter step length contralaterally
Flexor withdrawl/crossed extension
painful stimuli to sole of foot
involed should flex, other should extend
integrated by 1-2 monthd
Traction reflex
2-5 months integrated
pull baby to sitting = total UE flexion + hip flexion
Plantar grasp integration
6-9 months
