Myotomes
-> muscle strength
- grade 0 to 5
- 0 = no mvt
- 1 = Trace of contraction
- 2 = Full AROM, gravity limited
- 3 = Full AROM, against gravity
- 4 = Full AROM, against resitance
- 5 = normal power
LTT
= light touch test
- for superficial surface sensation
- “tell me yes if you feel the light touch”
- “similar to the one on forehead?”
0 = abs; 1= altered; 2= normal
PPT
= Pin prick test
- for deep surface sensation
- “when i ask tell me if you feel a lightly touching you or pricking you or nothing”
- “similar to the one on forehead?”
0 = abs; 1= altered; 2= normal
Objective Functional assessment for Mobility in bed
- rolling in bed
- repositioning
Objective Functional assessment for Transfers
- lying to lying
- sitting in bed -> WC/normal chair
- sitting -> standing
- floor -> WC
Objective Functional assessment for Moving around & use of mobility/walking aids
- How is the patient moving around? What aid(s) is he using?
- WST
- WST-Q
WST
= Wheelchair skill test
- objective measure
- assesses capacity
WST-Q
= Wheelchair skill test - Questionnaire
- subjective measure
- assesses performance, confidence & frequency
Objective Functional assessments for sitting balance
- Boubée scale = sitting balance scale for SCI
- Trunk impairment scale
Objective Functional assessment for Standing balance
- static : Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
- dynamic : Dynamic gait index (DGI)
Objective Functional assessment for Walking & gait
- Walking Index for SCI (WISCI)
- Gait analysis
Boubée scale
- assesses sitting balance for SCI
from 0 -> unable to sit unsupported w/ hands on laps
to 6 -> arms vertical (elbow extended), rotate trunk to left & right
Objective : Why Functional assessment for ROM is important?
For ADLs, transfer, mobility, positioning
Objective Functional assessment for Proprioception
- Statesthesia : Joint position sense (JPS)
- Mirroring
