16
Q

sensory evaluation findings summarized as

A
  • intact
  • impaired
  • absent
17
Q

impaired

A

patient detect some, not all, stimuli or perception of stimulus differs from intact skin area

18
Q

absent

A

total loss of sensation or inability to detect specific sensory modality

19
Q

sensory documentation includes

A
  • test type
  • skin area tested
  • screening score response
20
Q

touch threshold testing with monofilaments use

A

color codes on drawing of tested body part

21
Q

assessments

A
  • proprioception
  • stereognosis
  • touch localization
22
Q

choosing intervention for sensory impairment

A
  • findings of discomfort with touch (hypersensitivity) suggest need for desensitization intervention
  • sensory reeducation interventions (passive and active sensory training) provided for patients with some sensation and potential for more
23
Q

compensatory intervention for sensory impairment primary goal

A

education to avoid further injury

24
Q

compensatory intervention for sensory impairment secondary goal

A

teach patient to compensate for absent sensation

25
Q

compensatory intervention for sensory impairment compensation strategies

A
  • using vision to compensate for lack of sensation
  • use sensate hand for tasks requiring temperature or pain detection
  • checking insensate body part for abrasions, cuts or burns
  • modifying task to avoid injury
26
Q

desensitization if hypersensitivity

A

stimuli produces exaggerated sensations

27
Q

hypersensitivity includes

A
  • allodynia

- hyperesthesia

28
Q

allodynia

A

perception of pain in response to nonpainful stimulus

29
Q

hyperesthesia

A

heightened sensitivity to tactile stimuli

30
Q

desensitization programs includes

A

repetitive stimulation of hypersensitive skin with items that provide variety of sensory experiences

31
Q

peripheral nerve injuries

A
  • be familiar with clinical manifestations of peripheral nerve lesions of brachial plexus
  • axillary nerve injury
  • brachial plexus injuries
  • long thoracic nerve injury
  • psychosocial interventions for peripheral nerve injuries
32
Q

sensory reeducation intervention procedures phases (2)

A
phase 1 (passive) focuses
phase 2 (active)
33
Q

sensory reeducation intervention procedures phase 1

A

passive
maintaining sensory cortical representation providing directed sensory stimulation or making brain believe no sensory changes have occured

34
Q

sensory reeducation intervention procedures phase 2

A

active

occurs when patients appreciate some sensation and can learn to differentiate between seasations

35
Q

sensory reeducation intervention procedures early phase 2

A

patients learn matching tactile perception of stimuli with visual or auditory perception
