Locomotor Flashcards
D - contact physician
30-50% decline in hip/knee bone mass how long after SCI?
one year
two most common fracture sites for SCI patients
distal femur and proximal tibia
what are “the big two” with regards to risk factors for SCI fracture
- prior fragility fx
- knee region BMD below fx threshold
T/F: pts require autonomic stability and vasomotor tolerance to upright prior to beginning brace-walk training
true
what is a good way to measure if someone is strong enough in the UE to begin brace walk training
number of dips
what is the typical work load of ABT
9hr/wk x 24 wks
training effects of ABT were most clinically significant in which population
ASIA D < 3 yrs from injury
what are the five locomotor training principles
- maximize LE WB
- opimize sensory cues
- optimize kinetics
- maximize recovery and minimize compensation
- high dosage
Hicks 2017 distilled the three most likely indicators of walking after SCI, which are:
- age (<65 eyars)
- motor score of L3
- light touch score of S1
T/F: PBWSTT is superior to locomotor training for walking recovery after SCI
False: it is not superior, but could be “as good as”
at what intensity should you locomotor train your patients
moderate to high intensity for speed or distance
