what is JIA?
chronic inflammatory diseases in children and adolescents that may cause joint or conn. tissue damage throughout the body.
2 step process that triggers JIA?
child has genetic endency to JIA
environmental factors (virus, trauma) trigger JIA
Common characteristics o JIA.
Joint swelling, morning stiffness, muscle atrophy, weakness, poor endurance.
main goal of medical management of JIA?
induce remission and control arthritis to prevent joint erosion.
NSAIDS
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs DMARDs
Biologic agents
PT interventions in a child with JIA?
Cold modalities
Exercise
Occasional splinting
independence with self care
What is CMT?
Unilateral shortening of sternoceidomastoid.
Noticed shortly after birth.
difference between pernatal, perinatal, and postnatal CMT?
prenatal: ischemic injury, malpositioning in utero, muscle rupture.
perinatal: birth trauma from breech position or assisted delivery.
postnatal: positional preference, plagiocephaly.
three main classifications of CMT
Postural
Muscular
SCM Nodule
PT interventions with CMT
Caregiver Education
Environmental Adaptations
Cervical PROM
Neck and trunk AROM
Facilitation of symmetrical movement activities
Criteria to discharge a child with CMT from PT
Full PROM of neck, trunk, and extremities to within 5 degrees
Symmetrical active movement patterns
Age appropriate gross motor development
No visible head tilt
Parents understand what to monitor as kid grows.
Difference between palgiocephaly and brachycephaly.
Palgiocephaly: misshaped head angle.
Brachycephaly: flattening of back of the head.
What treatments for palgiocephaly and brachycephaly.
Get infant off the flat side of the skull.
Cranial orthotic
What is OI
genetic connective tissue disorder resulting in fragile bones.
What are different types of OI
1: most common. wight and length normal at birth. short stature postnatally.
2: death
3: severe progressive deformity of long bones, skull and spine. short stature.
4: mild to moderate deformity. post natal short stature. ambulators.
PT interventions of OI
NICU: positioning, education
Early intervention: develop functional mobility.
Focus of PT interventions for preschool aged child with OI
maximize idependence with mobility and ADLs
school activities
What is AMC
congenital contractures in two or more body areas.
Causes of AMC
genetics
viral infections, fetal browding, myasthenia gravis, alcohol, cocaine, fetal akinesia.
2 different clinical presentations of AMC
Amyolplasia (most common)
CNS disturbance (lethal)
Heterogenous group
Surgeries, casting, bracing may be needed for a child with AMC?
Clubfoot management (Ponsetti method of serial casting)
Hip dislocations
Hamstring lengthening
Focus of PT interventions for a child with AMC?
Family education
Stretching
Splinting
Strengthening
Self care
Functional mobility
What is etiology of DMD?
Progressive weakness of the skeletal and respiratory muscles.
X linked recessive defect
5 stages of DMD
Presymtomatic
Early ambulatory
late ambulatory
early nonambulatory
late nonambulatory
How does development differ for children with DMD
Normal initally, may display mild hypotonia, gait deviations at 2-3 years old, weakness proximal to distal.
