-bacterial pneumonia R anterior base




Exam findings?

-crackles on inspiration only at R ant base


-decreased SaO2


-productive cough x 3 days

abrupt

-jittery


-gastric upset


-can cause arrythmias & seizures

Ventolin

-bronchodilator


-used for asthma or COPD

Amcort

anti inflamm used for bronchial asthma

Down Syndrome


-decreasing strength in extremities


-neck pain


-limited neck motion


-UE DTRs 3+

Atlanto-axial subluxation with spinal cord impingement




-other signs: clonus, + babinski

ligamentous laxity hallmark of

What can cause subluxation & shoulder pain in hemiplegia

traction with depressed, downwardly rotated scapula

tuning fork on mastoid process & then in front of ear and asked if bone conduction or air conduction is louder


-test?

Rinne's

Weber's test

tuning fork on vertex of head


-asked which ear is louder


-it differentiates unimpaired ear from deaf ear

Caloric test

place cool or warm water in the ear and observe pattern of nystagmus produced

Pressure ulcer on heel


-dry eschar


-no: edema, erythema, fluctuance, or drainage


-afebrile




TX

AFO w/ heel pressure relief


-to prevent PF contractures


-heel pressure relief prevents further damage to promote healing


-this ulcer is stable & needs to be monitored, not debrided

When to use arterial bypass graft with pressure ulcer

when circulation compromised

test for ant talofibular lig

ant drawer

talar tilt test

calcaneofibular lig

Thompson's test

achilles tendon

Morton's test

stress fx or neuroma in forefoot

Postpartum pt w/ stress incontinence


-best initial pelvic floor exercise

sitting on toilet, stop & hold flow of urine for 5 secs during urination


-repeat several times


-sphinctor control in supine is more difficiult than practicing control during urination

Pt with CVA


-early recovery with R UE


-mod spasticity in biceps & finger flexors


-voluntary movement in elbow flex and shldr abd (only 1/2 range)




TX

WB on extended R UE w/ wrist & fingers extended


-early intervention should focus on stretching & positioning R UE in ext (wrist & fingers too)


-this helps decrease increasing flex spasticity


-WB on limb helps promote extensor activity in triceps & shldr stabilizers

Most important factor in ordering power WC for 3 yr old

good head control & good fine motor control


-kids as young as 18 mos can operate power WC


-kids with mild cognitive impairments can operate power WC

osgood schlatter


-TX

-decrease loading of knee by quad femoris, but still maintain normal LE function


-adolescents


-DO NOT strengthen quad femoris bc it increases load on tendon

bulging disc at R L5-S1


-no nn root compression




most likely impairment

centralized gnawing pain with loss of postural control with lifting activities


-no nn root compression = no radicular pain and/or decrease in specific muscle function beyond lumbar spine region

RLA Stage VII

-often exhibit rote movements (robot syndrome) indicative of highly structured training used for pts in early stages of recovery

how to correct forward festinating gait in pt with PD

use a toe wedge


-to help displace COG backward

festinating gait

abnormal & involuntary increase in speed of walking in an attempt to catch up with displaced COG d/t pts forward lean

strength training that focuses on improving fast twitch fiber function


-exercise RX

high intensity workload for short duration


-fast contraction speed for < 20 reps help train the highly adaptable fast twitch IIa fibers

workloads at low intensity & slow contraction speeds challenge ------fibers

slow twitch (type I)



stress fx signs

-cross country runner


-pain in prox 1/3rd of tibia


-insidious onset 4 wks ago


-pain intermittent


-running exacerbates sx's


-ligament testing & soft tissue exam of leg and knee unremarkable

Best initial imaging for stress fx

radiograph & bone scan


-stress fx may take 2-8 weeks before they can be seen on plain film


-if plain film negative, then perform bone scan


-if bone scan neg., then MRI

radiograph

fx's & healing rates

bone scan

stress fx


bone bruising

MRI

meniscal


bone bruising


soft tissue

CT scan

small bony irregularities

5 yo


-high Lumbar lesion (myelomeningocele, L2 level)


-min cognitive impairment




Functional therapy goal?

household ambulation with reciprocating gait orthosis & loftstrand crutches


-physiological benefits: improved cardiovasc & musculoskel functions


-will not be a community ambulator (energy expenditure is too high)


-possible to use KAFO's w/ reciprocal 2 or 4 point gait

Reciprocating gait orthosis

hips joined by metal cables to prevent inadvertant hip flex

Test to ID integrity of C1/ C2 articulation

transverse lig stress test


-assesses integrity of transverse lig


-it maintains position of the dens of C2 w/ ant arch of C1

cervical compression test

dysfunction of cervical facet joints

Hautant's test

differentiates btwn vascular dysfunction in vertebrobasilar system & dysfunction of vestibular system

Contraindicated test for person with bony/joint cervical instability

vertebral artery test


cervical compression test

Arterial Blood Gas Analysis


FiO2 = 0.21


PaO2 = 53 mmHg


PaCO2 = 30 mmHg


pH = 7.48


Bicarbonate = 24 mEq/L




this indicates

Respiratory Alkalosis


-increased pH = alkalosis

When looking at arterial blood gas values

CO2 can be seen as an acid


-if CO2 level is low, then you have less acid, or a resulting alkalosis = respiratory alkalosis

blood pH higher than normal (7.35-7.45) indicates

alkalosis



If increased pH is d/t metabolic disorder than what would be expected?

high bicarbonate value

Pt has Type I DM


-controlled w/ insulin injections 2x/day




to decrease risk of hypoglycemic event during exercise the pt should

avoid exercise during periods of peak insulin activity


-monitor blood glucose levels when initiating exercise program and avoid exercise 2-4 hrs after insulin injection (peak insulin activity)


-RPE in addition to HR to monitor exercise intensity

Exercise & DM Type 1

-carbs should be eaten before & during prolonged exercise bouts


-blood glucose levels should be monitored frequently throughout the day


-exercise should begin with daily sessions, 20 min 2x/day. NOT 40-50 min sessions

-will likely be resistent to activity training if unfamiliar activities are used


-can't be trusted to safely perform IADL's or functional mobility skills
