community re-integration
- accessible housing, nutrition, transportation, finances, employment, fitness
where is a pt dc if they meet their LTG in inpatient rehab
home
where is a pt dc if they don’t meet their LTG in inpatient rehab
SNF
what is a helpful mindset to encourage SCI patients to have as they recover
“yes you can”
- think ab what you can do
- not what you can’t do
what are considerations to individualize the program transitioning to outpatient programs
BSF
activity
participation
pt/caregiver goals
resources
accessibility
what does the ACSM recommend for CV training in SCI
endurance training 3-5 days/wk
20-60min/day
at 50-80% of peak HR
what are examples of CV training
UE ergometry
wc propulsion
swimming
BWSTT
HIT
FES induced walking, cycling
what type of training will improve the aerobic fitness in the SCI population
endurance training
what is FES
functional electrical stim
stims ms contraction to facilitate functional mvmts
what are the benefits to using FES
maintain ms viability / ms mass
promotes CV health
mental health - rewarding
counteracts secondary complications
what are uses for FES
shoulder subluxation
functional rowing
bicycle ergometry
what is the SCI rehab machine Erigo
combines gradual verticalization w robotic mvmt therapy
- allows intense training safely in very early stage of rehab
what is the trend of ASIA classifications w regard to potential for gait w/o physical (A) but use of ADs
increases
- lowest w ASIA A and highest potential w ASIA D
what are nonfunctional ambulator benefits to gait training
bone density
CV
mental health
what are considerations for determining if SCI pt is appropriate for gait training
