week 4 AI Flashcards
What is the primary goal of therapeutic interventions?
Development/re-development of skill, train in functional context, aim for complete independence
Collaboration with all health care professionals is essential for effective goal setting.
List common motor control issues.
- Altered muscle activation
- Weakness
- Poor recruitment of agonist motor units
- Increased reaction time
- Poor proprioceptive sensation
- Disuse atrophy
- Postural control and balance issues
- Abnormal timing and sequence of movement
- Compensatory movement responses
These issues can significantly impact functional mobility.
What are the principles to improve function in therapy?
- Analyze movement
- Optimize positioning for success
- Teach techniques as needed
- Strengthen as needed
- Tie strengthening tasks back to function for salience
This approach ensures that therapy is relevant to the patient’s daily activities.
Fill in the blank: More repetitions than you can imagine is based on _______.
[Neuroplasticity Principles]
What should be varied in therapy progressions?
- Type of movements
- Feedback frequency
- Parameters of activity (timing, force, duration, multitasking)
- Stimuli (predictable vs. unpredictable)
Varying these elements can enhance patient engagement and adaptability.
Define bed mobility.
Transitioning to/from sit, rolling, scooting, supine, sitting
Bed mobility is crucial for patients with limited mobility to achieve independence.
What are key elements for rolling with the affected side down?
- Preposition arm with scapula protraction
- Shoulder abduction and external rotation
- Use pillows for positioning legs
- Weightbearing on involved side
Proper positioning is essential to facilitate movement and prevent injury.
True or False: It is acceptable to pull on the upper extremity during rolling.
False
What are the benefits of lying on the affected side?
- Elongation of trunk
- Weight bearing on affected side
- Maintains shoulder and pelvis protraction
- Frees unaffected arm to move
This position supports functional mobility and reduces complications.
What are the five general strategies for rolling analysis?
- Segmental or non-segmental roll
- Roll initiation, execution, and termination
- Environmental impact on task
- Completion of roll
- Use of abnormal/compensatory movements
Analyzing these strategies helps tailor interventions.
What is a lead-up activity for bridging?
Assuming the position of hooklying
This foundational position is critical for progressing to more complex movements.
What treatments are involved in bridging?
- Assisted bridging
- Stabilizing isometrics
- Irradiation
- Single leg bridging
- Altering foot surface
These treatments help strengthen and improve functional ability.
What are the considerations for sit to stand transfers?
- Weight shift
- Problems with initiating and sustaining muscle force
- Timing or sequencing issues
- Ankle limitations
- Difficulty supporting weight
Addressing these considerations is vital for improving patient mobility.
Fill in the blank: The T.I.E. model stands for Task, Individual, and _______.
[Environment]
What are the benefits of using a tilt table?
- BP maintenance
- Abdominal binder use
- Compressive stockings
Tilt tables can support patients in regaining upright tolerance.
Describe one treatment strategy in Quadruped.
- Weight shifting
- UE/LE lifts
- Elbow control
These strategies enhance stability and strength.
