test Flashcards
case management usually used with pts w/
high cost conditions
case mngmt is used to provide pts with
resources to assist
achieve cost effective outcomes
case manager is usually
nurse or social worker
pts that likely have a case mangager
work related injuries
in the hospital
PT w/ case mangagers
communicate status and needs of pt
when do D/c plans begin
day one
where is D/c documented
POC
Episode of care
D/c / discontinuation of intervention
criteria for conclusion of care
achievement of goals/achievement of optimal level of function
Lack of progress/No longer requires skilled care
components of episode of care
current physical or functional status
justification for termination of PT
degree of goals met
plans related to pts continuing of care
prognosis
the predicted optimal level of improvement in function and amount of time needed to reach that level
prognosis is crucial in the development of
the POC
for prognosis you must make an explicit statement of
excellent, good, fair, poor regarding their prognosis and rehab potential
prognosis should be documented in
assessment or POC
not in both
proposed duration and frequency mean what
Frequency= how often you will provide PT services Duration= anticipated length of the episode of care
progress in
daily note
progress note
reexam
daily - brief summary
progress note - more detailed
reexam - most detailed form of summary
assessment of pt response to tx must occur
at every pt encounter
alterations of POC need to occur with
pt change of status example: function has diminished function has not changed function has improved
reexamination components
clinical impression or diagnosis
obj reassessment of test, measure and OMs
goal status
eval
document goals met by a
percentage
surgical protocols are based on
tissue healing properties
vary from surgeon to surgeon
protocol serves as a guideline
pt edu
is vital post op
provide written resources
edu on rehab progression, contr/precautions and HEP
appropriate to prepare a _____ with a pt to surgical follow up appointments
progress note
goal of IASTM
remove scar tissue
stim tendons and muscle to return to normal function
IASTM increases ___
blood and nutrient supply to the injured area
IASTM also helps synthesize
new collagen and realign them
IASTM proposed mechanism scar
Inflammation restarts the healing process by reducing the scar tissue and releasing adhesions
pain is caused by
Pain is caused by inflammation, when an injured tissue becomes inflamed, immune cells are recruited and phagocytosis occurs
ROM IASTM proposed mech
IASTM improves the extensibility of soft tissues by treating their restrictions/adhesions
alternative ROM proposed mech IASTM
Stimulating the mechanoreceptors alters the proprioceptive input sent to the central nervous system, which in turn changes the tension in tissue-related motor units
dosage and angle for IASTM
20-120s
30-60angle
side effects for IASTM
bruising
petechia
soreness
relative contra IASTM
Cancer Kidney dysfunction Pregnancy Rheumatoid arthritis Varicose veins Osteoporosis Lymphedema Fracture Chronic regional pain syndrome Use of certain medications (e.g., anticoagulants, steroids, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
absolute contra IASTM
Open wound Unhealed suture sites Thrombophlebitis Uncontrolled hypertension Skin infection Hematoma Myositis ossificans Unstable fractures
dry needling used to tx
muscles, ligaments, tendons, subcutaneous fascia, scar tissue
dry needling produces a ___ and _____
local and central nervous response to restore homeostasis
