Sullivan & Siegelman Flashcards
Most beneficial tx for PD
Locomotor training using Body Weight Support and Treadmill Training
S/E of Tricyclic Antidepressants
- Orthostatic Hypotension
- d/t significant anticholinergic and sedative properties
- may cause lethargy, sedation, arrhythmias, blurred vision, hypotension
S/E of Tricyclic Antidepressants + MAO Inhibitors
Htn, tachycardia, convulsions
Primary disease duration of PTB
10 days - 2 weeks
When is a PTB pt. non-infectious?
2 weeks on appropriate anti-tuberculin drugs; can be safely treated in the PT gym s precautions
Meds are taken for 9-12 mos.
Spasticity pattern in LE and associated sitting
Hip and knee extensors, adductors, and plantarflexors; results in sacral sitting c PPT, kyphotic upper spine, and forward head
Can be caused by developmental failure of the talar neck to derotate, osseous abnormality of the midtarsal jts., or by increased muscle activity of the mm that invert the foot
Forefoot varus
Dull, aching pain sensation travel through the:
Anterior spinothalamic tract
Discriminative, fast pain travel through the:
Lateral spinothalamic tract
Discriminative touch is carried through the:
Proprioceptive pathways (fasciculus gracilis/cuneatus, medial lemniscus)
Recommended time duration for endotracheal suctioning
10-15 secs
15-20 s - serious hypoxemia
1-10 s - ineffective secretion removal
Hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, Htn, muscle weakness, and wasting; Abnormal fat distribution (moon fascie; truncal obesity)
Cushing’s Syndrome
Primary adrenal insufficiency (dec cortisol and aldosterone); hypotension, weakness, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting
Addison’s disease
Hypocalcemia and neuromuscular irritability
Chronic hypoparathyroidism
Treatment for pt. c difficulty clearing the more affected foot during the swing phase of gait
Forward step ups in standing, using graduated height steps (weak hip and knee flexors)
Ability to select the correct movement in response to a stimulus
Response orientation
Impaired ability to perform rapidly alternating movements
Dysdiadochokinesia
Impaired ability to associate muscles together for complex movement
Dyssynergia
Impaired ability to judge the distance or range of movement
Dysmetria
An ASIA A C6 SCI pt should be taught to initially transfer with a sliding board using:
Shoulder extensors, ER, and anterior deltoid to position and lock the elbow
Most pertinent factor to include in a referral for a child with probable AUTISM
Defensive when touched - possible sensory integration issue
S/sx of anabolic steroid use
Rapid wt. gain, inc BP, acne on face & upper back, and changes in body composition c marked mm hypertrophy esp in the upper body
Prolonged use: jaundice, mood swings
Important predictor of lymphedema after treatment for breast CA
Obesity
Most beneficial way to manage long-standing flexion contractures
Mechanical stretching c low-intensity force (5-15 lbs.) applied over a prolonged period (20’-several hours)
