Week 2 Flashcards
- based on the musculoskeletal system - muscles, tendons, bones, nerves
- looks at posture and alignment
- helps them develop better habits and prevents injuries
- skin breakdown can occur if parts of the body are pushing on others
biomechanical FOR
the best biomechanical alignment gives a patient the best what?
the best chance of doing the activity the best they can - sets pt. up for best performance
- looks at the interaction between person, activity, and environment
- if something is affected in one of those areas, it can affect the other areas and the person’s ability to perform the task
occupational adaptation FOR
- always some aspect of learning involved
- how does one acquire and apply knowledge
acquisition FOR
- try to make people better - is it a temporary thing or is it permanent
- if it’s permanent, we use compensation
rehab FOR
if someone has a permanent disability, based on the rehab FOR, what should you do?
compensation - change the task, change the tools/equipment, using assistive technology or adaptive equipment
describe a screening.
-general, through an interview, less formal, brief
describe an evaluation.
more in depth than a screening
describe a formal eval.
- planned, standardized test
- goniometric measures
describe an informal eval.
- conversation, observation, interview
- ex: ROM - raise your hands, reach behind your back, etc.
describe a standardized eval.
there are absolute instructions that you need to follow in order to use the norms that come with it.
describe a non-standardized eval.
- can still be formal, but not enough people haven’t been tested using it - no norms
- don’t have to follow exact instructions
- can use a standardized eval. in this way if you don’t use the norms.
what does C5 innervate?
diaphragm, elbow flexors
name the 4 areas that we assess in rehab?
- sensory
- motor
- psychosocial
- cognition & behavior
what is the ultimate plan for rehab?
discharge
when does discharge planning begin?
at admission
describe respiratory considerations initially after injury.
often requires intubation
describe respiratory considerations if the lesion is below C5.
there is a good chance that the person will eventually be able to breathe on his/her own
describe respiratory considerations if the lesion is between C3 and C5.
may or may not need mechanical ventilation
describe respiratory considerations if it is a high injury (C3 or higher).
need ventilator
