FND III - Transfers Practical Flashcards
What is supervision, close guarding, and contact guarding?
Supervision - Needed within arm’s reach but low probability of problem
Close - In “ready mode”
Contact - physical contact maintained (no assistance)
What is minimal, moderate, and maximal assistance?
Min: Pt does 75% of activity
Mod: Pt does 50% of activity
Max: Pt does 25% of activity
What are the 5 types of weight-bearing status?
NWB TTWB PWB WBAT FWB
What side do you transfer toward: strong or limited?
Strong side
What are the hip precautions for a THA posterolateral approach?
No hip flexion > 90 deg. No adduction/IR beyond neutral Do not cross legs Knees lower than hip when sitting No bending over in sit-to-stand Raised seats Pivot on strong side Sleep in supine with abduction pillow
What are the hip precautions for a THA anterolateral and lateral approach?
No hip extension, adduction, ER past neutral
No tailor sitting (combined flexion, abduction, ER)
No hip hyperextension when ambulating
Why does an amputee need to increase his/her endurance?
For use of prosthesis
What is the functional level of a C4 SCI?
Dependent in transfers, power wheelchair
What is the functional level of a C5 SCI?
MAY be able to transfer, propel wheelchair and assist in self-care depending on strength of biceps and deltoids
What is the functional level of a C6 SCI?
Wrist extensors, independent with manual chair and sliding board transfers
What is the functional level of a C7 SCI?
Triceps, finger extension, and is independent with transfers and bed skills (with or without sliding board)
What is the functional level of a T2-T12 SCI?
Chest/abdominal muscles, trunk control
What is the functional level of a L1-S1 SCI?
Leg muscles depending upon level, bilateral KAFOs, assistive devices
What is hemiplegia and hemiparesis in a CVA?
Paralysis/paresis on side contralateral to CVA
What is reversible ischemic neurologic deficit?
CVA that resolves within 3 weeks with spontaneous recovery
What are the direct impairments of a CVA patient?
Proprioception deficit Pain (if PCA) Homonymous hemianopsia, visual neglect Motor deficits Aphasia (speech) Dysphagia (aspiration) Cognitive dysfunction Affective disorders Seizures Bowl/bladder dysfunction
What is the progression of muscle tone in a CVA patient?
Flaccidity –> spasticity –> massed patterns of movement
What is typical extremity posturing for a patient with R CVA (L hemiplegia)?
L flexor synergy in UE
L extensor synergy in LE
What are the effects of spasticity?
Balance, coordination, postural control, restricted volitional movements, static posturing of limbs resulting in contracture.
What is apraxia?
Motor programming deficit (inability to perform coordinated movements or manipulate objects).
What is the typical cause of emotional liability?
Right CVA
When does rehab begin for a CVA patient?
As soon as patient is medically stable
What is a Stage I wound?
Reddening of skin’s surface that does not disappear within 20 minutes.
Off-load area, cushioning, and improve nutrition/hydration
What is a Stage II wound?
Injury to the skin, open sore, or blister.
Moist wound care, cleaning, and protection from further injury
What is a Stage III wound?
Extends through subcutaneous tissue into underlying muscle.
Medical care is required immediately to prevent/treat infection and promote healing.
What is a Stage IV wound?
Extends to the tendons and bone.
Aggressive treatment or else serious consequences.
What is Fowler’s position?
Patient is supine, HOB is 45-60 deg., knees somewhat flexed.
Used for abdominal drainage or comfortable reclining.
What is the Trendelenburg position?
Pt supine, HOB is lower than FOB
Used for hypotensive patients, abdominal/GYN surgery
How should you go about fixing a patient’s position in a wheelchair?
Fix the trunk first, then the extremities.
Hips flexed > 90 deg., feet supported in neutral, pillow under butt, lap board for shoulder girdle support
What is the transfemoral position of comfort?
Hip flexion, abduction, ER
What is the transtibial position of comfort?
Hip flexion, abduction, ER
Knee flexion
What are the guidlines for positioning LE amputee?
Don't let residual limb hang off bed No pillow under thigh/knee when supine No pillow under low back No knee flexion in supine No crossing legs Hips neutral Extend knee Minimize sitting time with knee flexed
