Week 2 &3 Lectures Flashcards
Know the difference between short sitting, long sitting, hook lying, and bridging.
-Short sitting- legs flexed
-Long sitting- legs straight on bed
Hook lying- back on bed, knees at 90 degrees
-Bridging- raising hips
What does EOB stand for?
Edge of Bed
Know the difference between half-kneeling, kneeling, and quadruped
- Half-kneeling- one knee on ground
- Kneeling- both knees on ground (tall kneeling)
- Quadruped- on knees and hands
What are the 4 assistance levels? Give a definition of each.
- Independent- Patient able to perform skill safely with no one present
- Supervision- Patient requires someone within arms reach as a precaution
- Close guarding (stand-by assist)- Person assisting is ready with hands up, but not touching patient.
- Contact guard- Therapist is positioned as with close guarding, with hands on patient but not giving any assistance
Difference between assistance levels?
- Min assist- patient can perform 75% of the task
- Mod assist- patient can perform 25-75% of the task
- Max assist- patient can perform less than 25% of the task
- Dependent- patient does not attempt participation
Weight bearing status abbreviations
FWB- Full weight bearing
- WBAT- Weight bearing as tolerated
- No restrictions for FWB or WBAT, limited only by patient discomfort. WBAT is between PWB and FWB
- PWB- partial weight bearing
- Prescribed amount as a percentage of patients body weight.
- TTWB (TDWB)- toe touch (touch-down) weight bearing
- Toes may rest on ground in standing, but the extremity is non-weight bearing. Utilized for balance assist only
- NWB- non-weight bearing
- Foot may not contact the floor
5 bed mobility movements
SLIDE 10-18
- Scooting up and down
- Scooting sideways
- Rolling supine to side lying
- Supine to sit
- Scooting in sitting
Steps to providing assistance in bed mobility?
- Maintain good body mechanics
- Use bed height to your advantage
- Utilize the draw sheet
- Direct distally, control centrally
How many fingers should fit in a gait belt?
2
How to get from sitting to standing?
- Scooting in sitting to front of surface
- Place base of support under center of mass
- Shift center of mass anteriorly
AKA: Butt forward, feet back, nose over toes
TRANSFERS
TRANSFERS
Types of transfers?
- Lateral sheet transfer
- Vertical lift
- Squat pivot

When the patient requires higher level of assistance
What does squat pivot not achieve that stand pivot does?
Full extension
Therapist position for a squat pivot transfer?
- Staggered stance

- Utilize gait belt or ischial tuberosity’s
- Knee block
VITAL SIGNS
VITAL SIGNS
What are the 4 internationally recognized vital signs?
- HR
- BP
- RR
- Temp
Other measurements to take with vital signs?
- Pain
- Pulse Ox
- Perceived exertion rating
What is basal heart rate?
HR measured after an extended period of rest.
Can be an indication of CV function in the absence of physical stress
What is resting heart rate?
Without imposed stress
What is pericardial HR?
Measurement of the CV system’s capacity to provide blood flow during imposed physiological or physical stress
What is recovery pulse rate? When is it taken?
Measurement of the cardiovascular system’s recovery capability following the imposition of physiological oor physical stress.
Usually taken 1-3 minutes after intervention
HR>100=______.
HR<60=______.
Tachycardia
Bradycardia
Ask what normal is
Assessing Pulse/HR
\+3 = Bounding \+2 = Normal \+1 = Weak or Thready 0 = Absent
Difference between the HR values of +3,+2,+1, and 0
+3 (Bounding)- Readily palpable, not easily obliterated by finger pressure
+2 (Normal)- Easily palpable and obliterated only by strong finger pressure
+1 (Weak or Thready)- Hard to feel and easily obliterated by slight finger pressure
0 (Absent)- not discernible
