Quiz 4: Balance/Transfers + Bed Mobility Flashcards
Impairments Affect Function
- basic movements are needed for___
- how are transfers defined?
- what can limit mobility and transfers?
- basic movements are needed for mobility
- Transfers-operationally defined as a movement or a series of movements organized to get from one position to another
- difficulty in range, strength, control, sensation etc can limit these
Name 4 Transfers:
- sit stand
- sit sit
- supine sit
- supine sidelying
Sit Stand
Things to consider (3)
- amount of assist needed
- where assisted (hand placement, amount of force, phase)
- use of hands (where patient puts his hands)
Sit Stand critical components 1. \_\_ to edge of the mat 2. \_\_\_ flexion 3. Knee flexion past \_\_ 4. Ankle dorsiflexion past \_\_ 5. \_\_\_ weight shift 6. extension of \_\_, \_\_\_, \_\_\_,\_\_\_ 7. \_\_\_\_ in standing
- IT to the edge of the mat
- trunk flexion (or trunk extension with hip flexion)
- knee flexion past 90 degrees
- ankle dorsiflexion past 90 degrees
- forward/diagonal weight shift
- extension of trunk, hips, knees, ankles, plantarflexion
- stabilization in standing
stand to sit: what to tell patient
eccentric or concentric of ___
reach for floor, forward weight shift as sit back down
unwinding
controlled descent
eccentric control of extensors (lengthen them)
hands free stand to sit even if cannot stand without hands
Stand to sit considerations (4)
- use of hands
- height of seated surface
- seating surface stability
- seated surface angle (sometimes it is tilted back, sometimes it is cushy)
30 second sit to stand test:
- what is it
- what score correlates with high falls risk? In what patient types (2)?
- quality vs quantity
do as many sit to stand as possible in 30 seconds
- hands free
- less than 8 reps correlates with high falls risk for community dwelling elderly and CVA
- assess quantity not quality (assess of falls risk is quantity)
Rolling/bed mobility (3)
supine sidelying
sideliying prone
sidelying sit
log roll: roll body as one unit vs a segmental roll
supine to sit if abs are strong, rare
Berg Question 1
Sit –>Stand
Stand without hands for support
4: stand independently without using hands and stabilize independently
Berg Quetion 2
Standing Unsupported
Stand for 2 minutes without holding
4: able to stand safely for two minutes
Beg Question 3
Sit with back unsupported but feet supported on floor or stool
- Able to sit securely for 2 minutes
3. with supervision
Berg Question 4
Standing to Sitting
- Able to go stand –> sit without using hands
Berg Question 5
Transfers
Pivot transfer: one way to a seat with armrests and one way to a seat without armrests
4. Able to transfer safely with minor (or without) use of hands
Berg Question 6
Stand Unsupported With Eyes Closed
- able to stand 10 seconds safely
- -if sway more than normal
- someone with a lesion will sway because lack proprioception
- need supervision
- not able 3 seconds
- cannot do with eyes closed
- needs help to not fall
Berg Question 7
Stand Unsupported with Feet Together
- Able to independently place feet together and stand for one minute safely
Berg Question 8
Reaching Forward With Outstretched Arm While Standing
Pt lift arm 90 degrees flexion and stretch out fingers to reach forward as far as he can
examiner places a ruler at the end of fingertips when arm is at 90 degrees. fingers should not touch ruler when reaching forward. measure taken when pt is in most forward leaning position
- can reach forward confidently >25cm (10 inches)
- 12
- 5
- need supervision
- lose balance
Berg Question 9
Pick up object from the floor from standing position
can be done in anyway as long as do not grab onto something for support
4. able to pick up slipper safely and easily
What can Berg Question 9: Pick up object from the floor from standing position
Tell us for treatment
if they can reach down but cannot pick up the slipper we can practice reaching less low
Berg Question 10:
Turning to look behind over left and right shoulders while standing
Turn to look directly behind you over towards the left shoulder, then repeat to the right. PT may pick an object to look directly behind at.
4. Looks behind from both sides and weight shifts well
