25
Marfan's Syndrome
excessive growth at the ephipyseal plates | -walking may be delayed
26
Achondroplasia
stunting of ephiphyseal plate growth the person may be 4 ft or less -back and leg pain are common
27
Arthrogryposis multiplex congential
incomplete contracture of many or all of the client's joints - have still extremities and thickened knee/elbow joints - muscles are underdeveloped -OT treatment - increase/maintain ROM and strength for ADLs, splinting and serial casting
28
Congenital Clubfoot
Uni/bilateral forefoot adduction/supination -Treatment - taping, casting, splinting
29
Congential club hand
partial or full absence of the radius -Treatment - Cashing, static/dynamic splinting
30
Polydactyly
someone has excess of fingers/toes
31
Syndactyly
Webbing occurs between the fingers/toes splinting and scar reduction
32
Bradydactyly
overly large digits -May have issues with ADLs and fine motor skils
33
Microdactyly
Overly small digits
34
Amelia
absence of a limb or distal segment of a limb
35
strain - soft tissue
trauma to the muscle or muscle-tendon insertion
36
sprain - soft tissue
rapid swelling, heat, and impaired function to a ligament
37
bruise - soft tissue (contusion)
impact into the subcutaneous tissue w/skin discoloration
38
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)
Persistent arthritis in one or more joints - inflammation, stiffness, contractures, and change in growth patterns. - OT treatment - splinting, AROM/PROM, monitor joint function to prevent deformity, energy conservation, AE to lessen the stress of joints
39
Fracture
A broken bone
40
Complete Fracture
bone is broken all the way through
41
Comminuted fracture
bone is broke into many splintered pieces
42
Compound fracture
broken bone leads to an external wound w/bone protruding
43
Epiphyseal Fracture
The break happens between the shaft and epiphysis
44
Greenstick fracture
bone is partially broken and bent -only in kids
45
Intrauterine Fracture
bone is broken in utero
46
Mild IQ between 55-70
Ability to learn academic skills at the third-seventh grade level able to work w/min support
47
Moderate IQ between 40-55
Academic skills at the second grade level and able to perform unskilled as well as some skilled work tasks
48
Severe IQ between 25-40
Able to communicate and perform some basic ADLs and health habits often needing support
49
Profound IQ below 25
Requires caregiver assistance for basic tasks
50
NDT Approach to Handwritting
-Good for kids w/poor postural control, poor automatic reactions and limited limb control, kids with tone issues and poor proximal stability. - Promote proximal joint stability - Improve hand function
51
Acquisitional Approach to Handwiriting
- Implemented in brief, daily lessons. - Individual to each child. - Cognitive phase: develop a cognitive strategy for the necessary motor movement. - Associate phase: Proprioceptive feedback and visual cues.
52
Sensorimotor Approach to Handwriting
Various sensory experiences, media, and materials are incorporated. -Multiple writing tools, writing surfaces, and positions for writing should be offered.
53
Biomechanical approach to Handwriting
- Ergonomic factors that influence writing production. | - Sitting posture, table suraces, paper position, pencil grip.
54
Psychosocial approach to Handwriting
- Improving self-control, coping skills, social behaviors. - Communicating the importance of good handwriting to the child. - Opportunities to enhance self-confidence are provided.
55
What is Ayres Sensory Integration?
Proximal senses are emphasized; these senses are thought to dominate a child's early life experiences. - vestibular - tactile - proprioceptive
56
Neurologically based concerns concerning sensory integration is?
- Optimal brain function is based on sensory input. | - A lack of sensory input at critical points in development may result in learning or behavioral disorders.
57
Children seeking vestibular input may appear to be? (fail to orient to the stimuli/hyporesponsivity)
Reckless or risk takers; they may need a lot to get going.
58
Children seeking proprioceptive input may try to get their needs by? (Fail to orient to stimuli/hyporesponsivitiy)
Engaging in rough housing and other activities that provide them with deep-pressure input or muscle resistance. The kids may seek this type of input may be trying to regulate their experiences of touch or movement.
59
Tactile Defensiveness (overorient to stimuli/hyperresponsivity)
extreme reaction to tactile input, light touch may be noxious, may be extrasensitive on their face, abdomen, and palmar surfaces of their hands.
60
Gravitational insecurity (overorient to the stimuli/hyperresponsivity)
vestibular input, scared of movement and may move carefully and need their feet always on the ground.
61
What is sensory discrimination problems?
- difficulty making sense of, or interpreting, tactile input. Difficulty with visual-motor tasks and motor planning. - fine motor manipulation skills may be delayed.
62
What is proprioception problems?
Not getting the information the kids need from their muscles and joints. -Cognitive strategies can be used to help them compensate.
63
What is vestibular-proprioceptive probems?
Poor bilateral coordination and difficulty sequencing actions. (a child responding to a ball being kicked to them)
