Q
Assistive Devices are typically used to?
A
- Increase support of load
- Allow for weight distribution
- Increase stability
7
Q
Considerations in Choosing Assistive Devices
A
- Least restrictive device
- Stability-Mobility Trade Off
- Energy Costs
8

Standard Walker
10
Q

A
Rolling Walker
11
Q
Walker
A
Greatest stability of all ADs
12
Q
Common Errors in Fitting Crutches
A
- Measurement is made without the patient wearing shoes
13
Q
Forearm Crutches
A
- Good stability with 4 and 2-point gait pattern
- Cuff should be 2 fingers below the olecranon process
14
Q
Canes
A
- can’t be used for PWB, TTWB, or NWB
- Can’t be used for restricted weight bearing
- Smallest BoS
15
Q
4-Point Gait Pattern
A
-WBAT to FWB
- Crutches, 2 canes, reciprocal walker
16
Q
Two-Point Gait Pattern
A
- WBAT to FWB
- one or two canes, one or two crutches, or hemi-walker
17
Q
Three-Point Gait Pattern
A
NWB, PWB
Cannot be performed with (B) canes
18
Q
MDC
A
- Minimal Detectable change
- Changes made based on amount of errors
19
Q
MCID
A
- Minimally Clinically Important Difference
- Functional Change that means something
20
Q
10 Meter Walk Test
A
- Measure of gait speed
21
Q
Six-Minute Walk Test
A
- aerobic capacity / endurance
- Measure maximal distance
- at least 30 minutes rest should be allowed between tests
- does not need to complete the six minutes
- may use their assistive devices
22
Q
Time Up and Go
A
- Basic functional mobility
-Fall risk
23
Q
Dynamic Gait Infex
A
- Gait Speed
- Fall risk
24
Q
Five Times Sit to Stand Test
A
- Lower extremity strength
- Fall risk
25
AM-PAC
- Activity measure for Post Acute Care
26
High Fall Risk for TUG, DGI, and 5x STS
- TUG: greater or equal to 12 seconds
- DGI: less than 19/24
- 5x STS: greater than 15 seconds
27
Walking speed: 6 Vital Sign
- Greater or equal to 1: capable of walking in community
- Less than 1 but greater or equal to 0.6: limited ability to walk in the community, risk of falls
- Less than 0.6: limited community or household walking, risk for hospitalization
28
Walking Speed data
- Typical range 1.2 - 1.4 m/s
- MDC most common is 0.1 m/s
29
For the 6 minute walk test, what distance is predictive of hospitalization or mortality?
less than 200m
30
Timed Up and Go (TUG)
- with or without an assistive device
- one practice trial
- no physical assistance
- closely guard
31
Timed Up and GO mean values
60-69: 7.1 - 9
70- 79: 8.2 - 10.2
80-99: 10-12.7
32
When do you stop the 5xSTS test
when the patient fully sits down
33
What does the DGI assess?
Individual's ability to adapt gait to a variety of external demands
34
4-point scale for DGI
3 = No gait dysfunction
2 = Minimal Impairment
1 = Moderate Impairment
0 = Severe Impairment
35
Scoring for AM-PAC, related to difficulty
1 = Total; Dependent
2 = A lot; maximum or moderate assistance
3 = A little; minimum assistance, contact guard assistance, supervision
4 = None; no human assistance needed
* Higher score indicates fewer limitations in functional performance
