Normal Vitals: Body Temp.

98.6 (within 96.8-99.3deg F)

Normal Vitals: Pulse/HR

resting- 60-100bpm (higher in kids)

Vitals- Pulse Oximeter measures __

blood O2 saturation, pulse & HR
(SaO2)

Normal Vitals: Blood Pressure

<120/80 (systolic/diastolic) mm Hg

Normal Vitals: Respiration Rate

12-18 respirations/min (higher in infants)

active assistive exercise (ROM) benefits

some muscle contraction w/ assistance (manual/therapist, mechanical or gravity)

passive exercise benefits (PROM)

maintains existing ROM & elasticity
demo. desired movement
maintain circulation

active exercise (AROM) benefits

inc. strength/endurance
maintain muscle quality
inc. circulation, sensory awareness, & coordination

Superficial Sensory test: Light touch

use soft substance (cotton ball) pt. identify location of touch

Superficial Sensory test: Pain/pin prick

use sharp/dull side of pin pt. identify type of sensation

Superficial Sensory test: Temperature

use test tubes w/ hot & cold water

Deep Sensory test: Vibration

use tuning fork place over bony prominence & identify sensation

Deep Sensory test: Kinesthesia

identify direction/extent of joint/body movement pt. matches w/ other side

Deep Sensory test: Proprioception

identify static position of extremity (if bent/straight)

Deep Sensory test: Deep pain

squeeze extremity (less used)

Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Stereognosis/Tactile Object Recognition

pt. given object & identifies

Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Tactile Localization

pt. identify area of body being touched

Combined Cortical Sensation Test: 2-Point Discrimination

pt. identify perception of 1 or 2 stimuli (consider low/high sense areas for test distance)

Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Barognosis

pt. identify variation of weight of different objects

Combined Cortical Sensation Test: Graphesthesia

Traced figure identification -pt identify object drawn on skin

S1 heart sounds correlate w/:

ventricular systole

S2 heart sounds correlate w/ :

ventricular diastole

where does deoxygenated blood from the body enter the heart?

right atrium via superior/inferior vena cava

where does deoxygenated blood leave the heart to the lungs?

right ventricle via pulmonary arteries

where does oxygenated blood enter the heart from the lungs?

left atrium

where does oxygenated blood leave the heart to the body?

left ventricle via the ascending/descending aorta
