SCI 3 - Expected Outcomes Flashcards
what is the potential for recovery in people w a complete injury
often regain 1 or 2 levels below level of injury
- means you often regain control of 1 or 2 levels of ms mvmt
what is the potential for recovery in an incomplete injury
more likely than people w complete injury to regain control of more ms mvmt
- no way to know how much, if any
what are general rules for predicting chance of improvement
longer you go w/o seeing improvement, chances are lower
as long as seeing some improvement (like regaining ms mvmt), chances are better
C1-3: breathing
ventilator dependent
C1-3: ADL care
total assist
C1-3: pressure relief
total assist except w equipment
C1-3: bed mobility/transfers
total assist
C1-3: wc mobility
total assist w manual
(I) driving power chair and performing pressure relief (tilt/recline) w head, chin, mouth or breath control
C1-3: home health aide needs?
requires 24hr attendant care
C4: breathing
may be able to w/o ventilater
total assist to clear secretions
- depends on strength of diaphragm
C4: ADL care
total assist
C4: pressure relief
total assist except w equipment
C4: bed mobility / transfers
total assist
C4: wc mobility
total assist w manual
(I) driving power chair and performing pressure relief (tilt/recline) w head, chin, mouth or breath control
C4: home health aide needs?
requires 24 hr attendant care
C5: key muscles innervated
biceps
brachialis
brachioradialis
deltoid
infraspinatus
rhomboid
supinator
key ms: elbow flexors, shoulder and scap mvmt
C5: breathing
(I)
may need (A) to clear secretions
help w self- assist cough techniques
C5: ADL care
some to total assist
(esp w dressing)
C5: pressure relief
total assist except w equipment
- may be able to use bicep strength for lateral wt shifts
C5: transfers
assisted w transfer board
may be able to become (I) w SB depending on function, body habitus, etc.
C5: bed skills
assistance required, able to participate in positioning
use of UE on bedrail, use of momentum for rolling/repositioning
C5: wc mobility
(I) driving power chair and performing pressure relief w hand control
able to propel manual wc on uncarpeted indoor surfaces (I) or w (A), benefits from plastic coated hand rims or power assist
- using biceps, delt
what is a concern of use of manual wc in C5 functional level
worry about repetitive injury/trauma to shoulder
- RC and scap
C6: key ms
extensor carpi rad
infraspinatus
lat dorsi
pec major (clavicular)
pronator teres
serratus anterior*
teres minor
what specific ms innervated by C6 have important functional implications
serratus anterior
- use in bed mobility and other functional mvmts
teres minor can also kick in and be used w these mvmts
C6: breathing
(I)
may need (A) to clear secretions
C6: ADL care
some to total (A)
- esp bathing, dressing
C6: bed mobility
some assist to (I) w adaptive equipment
ex: rings on bed - use of biceps and wrist ext
C6: transfers
some assist to (I) w SB
C6: wc mobility
(I) driving power chair w hand control
- may require tilt/recline for pressure relief
(I) w indoor manual wc propulsion
- partial to total (A) outdoors w manual wc
- benefit from power assist wheels
