    Study Notes

    Introduction

    • Age is a risk factor for disabilities.
    • Rehabilitation aims to maximize independence and enable participation.
    • Movement requires cognitive, sensory, and motor functions.
    • Cognitive impairments include stroke, dementia, and Parkinson's.
    • Sensory impairments include blindness, deafness, and spinal cord injury.
    • Motor impairments include stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury.
    • Impairments can be permanent or degenerative, congenital or acquired.
    • Injuries lasting more than 6 months are classified as disabilities.

    Disability Phases

    • Acute: First month after injury.
    • Subacute: 1-3 months after injury.
    • Chronic: More than 3 months after injury (classified as a disability).

    Types of Impairment

    • Paralysis: Complete loss of voluntary muscle movement.
    • Incidence: New cases per population within a given time period.
    • Prevalence: Total number of existing cases within a given population.
    • Aetiology of amputations: Vascular disease, diabetes, trauma, tumors, infections.
    • Causes of spinal cord injuries: Accidents, falls, violence, sports.
    • Stroke: Ischemic (80%) or hemorrhagic (20%) types, leading to hemiplegia/hemiparesis and neglect.
    • Traumatic brain injury: External force to the skull or penetrating objects causing physical, cognitive, and emotional effects
