lecture 8: PT management of individuals with mild brain injury Flashcards
what is ranchos levels VII-VIII
VII – Automatic-appropriate
VIII – Purposeful-appropriate
*Appropriate and oriented
*Robot-like
*Minimal confusion
*Shallow recall of activities
*Poor insight into condition
*Carryover for new learning but decreased rate
*Initiates social activities with structure
*Poor judgment, problem-solving, and planning skills
what ranchos level does this describe
VII: automatic appropriate
*Alert and oriented
*Recalls and integrates past and recent events
*Aware of and responsive to environment
*Carryover for new learning
*Decreased level of abstract reasoning, tolerance for stress, and judgment
what ranchos level does this describe
purposeful appropriate
what is the clinical presentation for a mild brain injury for the integumentary system
ulcers , incisions
after a mild brain injury deficits may increase with what 4 things
faitgue
stress
illness
heat
what are the activity limitation after a mild brain injury
*Activity limitations
◦ Bed mobility
◦ Transfers
◦ Wheelchair mobility and management
◦ Gait/stairs
what is apart of the participation outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting
Technique (CHART) - Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ)
- DRS (BS&F, activity, and participation)
what is apart of the body functions and structures outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- Rancho Levels of Cognitive Function
- Modified Ashworth Scale
- MMSE
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment
- Patient Health Questionnaire
what is apart of the activity outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- FIM/FAM
- High Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT)
- 6MWT, 10mWT
- Berg Balance Scale (BBS)
- Functional Gait Assessment (FGA)
- 5 Time Sit to Stand (5TSTS
what is apart of the environment outcome measures for a mild brain injury
- Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental
Factors (CHIEF
what is the description for the High Level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT)
Description
◦ Assess high level mobility in individuals with TBI
◦ No use of assistive devices but orthotics permitted
◦ Must walk without assistance x 20 meters
how can u prioritize PT goals
Participation restrictions → Activity limitations → Impairments
what 3 things go into motor control
-task
individual
-environment
what are some of the communication deficits one will present w after a mild brain injury
◦ Dysarthria
◦ Aphasia
◦ Impaired reading/writing
◦ Auditory deficits
why is awareness important
-leads to improved attention , memory , and problem soling
- ability to analyzer own performance
what are the 4 different attention types
-sustained
-selective
-alternating
-divided
what is sustained attention
Ability to maintain focus on a continuous, repetitive activity
what is selective attention
Focus on a particular task or activity in the presence of distractors
what is alternating attention
Switching between tasks
what is divided attention
Performance of multiple tasks simultaneously
how can u integrate attention into ur PT sessions
- modification of treatment environment
-Begin in environment which allows optimal function
Ultimate goal is function in high distraction with low structure
what is the stroop test
have the pt say word not the color of the word
what is the The ability to organize sensory input into meaningful patterns that emerge from increasingly integrated levels of processing that form a perceptual whole
perception
Body image and unilateral spatial inattention/neglect
Unilateral spatial inattention/neglect with homonymous hemianopsia
Visual agnosia
Visual-spatial disorders
these are all examples of what kind of deficits
visual
