Quiz 2 (congenital disorders, pediatric sport injuries/ limp deficiency) Flashcards
Multiple congenital joint contractures in the first trimester fetal development
ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA
ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA Sign and symptoms in the mother.
Maternal fevers, infection, vascular compromise, limited room in the uterus, low amts of amniotic fluid
what are the most affected parts of ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA
hands, wrists, elbows, ankles, knees and hips.
Signs and symptoms of ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA in babies
Joint contractures, dislocations, decreased muscle strength, dislocations, diminished reflexes and Diminished skin creases
what are interventions for ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA
Stretching and strengthening to gain and sustain ROM and inc. strength.
Elbow ROM imperative for Independence in ADLs; core, hip, knee strength vital for postural control
Abnormality of chromosome 21: can be trisomy, translocation, or mosaicism.
DOWN SYNDROME
Clinical Signs and symptoms for DOWN SYNDROME
Hypotonia, short stature, upward slant of eyes, small ears, single transverse palmar crease, cognitive limitation.
May include cardiac defects, duodenal atresia, atlantoaxial instability, thyroid defects, hearing loss, epicanthal folds
What are family edu, for down syndrome parents
guidelines to incorporate handling, positioning, and developmental skills.
What does physical therapy focus on for downs syndrome
Focus on function and independence: improving coordination skills, and developmental skills; stability of joints and cocontraction
what are indications for a SMO (Sure step supramalleolar orthotic)
Pronation Hypotonia Triplanar instability in weight bearing Inability to stand independently Mild toe-walking Developmental delay Delay in acquiring gross motor skills Poor coordination or balance
Contraindications that and SMO might not be the right fit
High muscle tone Spasticity Severe toe-walking Tight heel cords Tight peroneals
Incomplete closure of spinal column
SPINA BIFIDA
Generally affects the neuromuscular and genitourinary systems.
SPINA BIFIDA
most benign no neuromuscular or genitourinary involvement
Spina bifida occulta
Spinal cord begins to protrude
Meningocele-meninges
flaccid LEs, loss of sensation below the defect, often seen in L-S area
Meningocele-meninges
Warning signs of a shunt malfunction
irritability, personality changes, increased sleepiness, downward gaze, headaches.
The cerebellum, pons, and medulla may protrude into the foramen magnum
Hydrocephalus as result of Arnold-Chiari defect.
Clinical Signs and symptoms of Arnold-Chiari defect
Bowel and bladder dysfunction (catheterization)
Latex allergies
Clinical Signs and symptoms of Tethered cord syndrome
spinal cord fixed caudally: dec. strength, inc. spasticity in LEs, changing uro sx, back pain, scoliosis
What are comorbidities c meningomyelocele
skin breakdown, vasomotor changes, soft tissue contractures, cognitive and social delays
What does physical therapy focus on for spina bifida
Active stretching and strengthening, inc. endurance for mobility, developing independent tx skills.
Seating and positioning
Supported standing
Provision of orthotics,
What is the goal for children c spina bifida
independence in functional skills
Recognized as a neurobiological disorder….May also have ADD, ADHD, anxiety, deafness, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, Tourette Syndrome
AUTISM
Clinical signs and symptoms of Autism
Poor eye contact
Flat affect; unable to interpret facial or gestural cues from others
Prefer aloneness
Reciprocal behaviors such as sharing are difficult
Delay in language skills development
Unable or unmotivated to engage in conversation.
CLINICAL SIGNS-Onset prior to age 3 of autism
May perseverate on a word or phrase
Intense interest in narrow area of interest
Adhere to rituals
Stereotypical motor behaviors: rocking and flapping of the hands
Very sensitive to sound, touch, bright lights, odors
High tolerance for pain
Genetic condition with abnormality on X chromosome
Hand wringing
Head growth slows
Often severe difficulty with walking and trunk movements
Rett syndrome
Above average or average IQ
Deficiencies in social skills
