TBI Flashcards
Physio management of moderate to severe TBI- acute
examine respiratory needs like mechanical ventilation, orthopaedic injuries restricting ROM. Goal setting should be informed by examination which might include arousal, attention, and cognition, skin integrity, sensory integrity, motor function, ROM, reflex integrity, ventilation and respiration exchange, transfers
Physio management of moderate to severe TBI- what should acute treatments address
stimulation of level of alertness via multifactorial modalities, physical function stimulation to improve motor and postural control/maintain mobility/ normalise muscle tone, reduction of secondary complications via spasticity management and contracture prevention, optimise respiratory care (positioning), pain management
Physio management of moderate to severe TBI- acute treatment techniques
early mobilising via passive or active assisted handling, movement facilitation using neuro-developmental, positioning on the bed in various postural sets including side-lying and prone, positioning out of be, tilt table standing, sensory stimulation, splinting, balance and postural control, neuromuscular electrical stimulation
Physio management of moderate to severe TBI- treatments in active rehabilitation
secondary impairments risks, provision of education for patients/family, joint integrity and mobility, motor function, muscle performance, postural control and balance, gait and locomotion, aerobic capacity and general fitness, sensory awareness, pain management, enhancement of ADLs, discharge planning
Physio management of moderate to severe TBI- active rehabilitation treatment techniques
task orientated practice CIMT, locomotion training, strengthening, CV fitness, ROM exercise, mobilisation, resistance training, sensory stimulation, FES, use of various postural positions, education about deficits/ safety management for mobility and balance, falls prevention
