Wee 3.9 TI for Impaired MC Stability Flashcards
what does instability look like? what 5 areas are problems with you have instability
static posture, impaired mobility joint stability maintaining WB positioning closed and open chain exercises.
what 3 steps can we follow to determine the best treatments
- identify the limitations in function
- determine the specific underlying impairments,
- prioritize the problems in an effective plan of care
when we are examining, we want to see if the instability is impacting…
function
instability can affect what parts of the body
the whole body, joints above and below the instability,
when examining we want to find the cause and the ____
consequence
TF: do we want to check if other systems are involved
yes
what kind of impairment measures will we take
strength, tone, MMT
when we evaluate, we want to know if instability is the direct cause of…
functional limitation
what is the first thing we must determine when doing an intervention
if there will be remediation or compensation
what kinds of barriers must we address
joint mobility, muscle length, strength, sensory awareness.
what are some interventions we can do for impaired MC stability
PNF, NDT, RT, stance in weigh bearing, postural, biofeedback and ESTIM, taping, strapping, splinting and bracing, pressure garments,
BW treadmill
why might we do stance weight bearing exercises
the WB helps to normalize tone and the approximation of joints helps with facilitation
what is the benefit of using pressure garments
muscle activation and recruitment
what kinds of positions do we work in when we are working on functional activities
kneeing, quadruped, standing, sitting, sidelying
the functional activities should focus on…
transitions
