Study Notes
Sitting Postures for Low back pain
- An optimal position for sitting involves:
- 90 degrees of hip flexion
- 90 degrees of knee flexion
- 0 degrees of dorsiflexion
Rehabilitating a Patient with Scoliosis
- A Milwaukee brace is used to correct spinal curvature
- Correctional exercises for scoliosis while wearing the brace include posterior pelvic tilt in supine with hips and knees flexed
Ankle taping for Prophylactic Protection
- To optimize ankle protection during taping before sport, the ankle should be positioned in slight eversion, dorsiflexion, and abduction
Panic Disorder
- Characterized by short-lived, recurrent, unpredictable episodes of intense anxiety
Sampling Techniques
- Snowball sampling is used when research participants identify other subjects who meet the inclusion criteria
Internal Validity
- Hawthorne effect occurs when subjects in a research study modify their behavior because of being observed
Exercise Protocol for Cardiac Rehabilitation
- An example of an appropriate activity for a patient in Phase II cardiac rehab with 3-4 METS is walking on a treadmill at 3 mph
Raimiste's Phenomenon
- After a stroke, a patient may experience mass flexion of the right lower extremity with right elbow flexion resistance
Breathing Exercises
- A physical therapist can instruct patients to improve breathing rate by breathing in through the nose, and exhale slowly through pursed lips
Early Intervention Motor Skills
- Introduce bottle-feeding skills around 8 to 10 months of age
Cervical Rib Syndrome
- Patients with cervical rib syndrome can experience tingling and numbness in the upper extremity, often when carrying heavy objects at their side
- Structures commonly affected by cervical rib include the subclavian artery and the inferior trunk of the brachial plexus
Determining Treatment Effectiveness
- Physical therapists should discuss with physicians the rationale for requesting specific modalities for each patient
Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Functioning
- A patient who mumbles non-purposeful phrases and attempts to strike the therapist in the head can be classified at Level 4 on the Rancho Los Amigos Scale
Gait Deviations in Transtibial Amputation
- Excessive knee flexion from heel strike to mid-stance in gait training may result from the socket being set posterior in relation to the foot
Ultrasound Therapy for Burns
- If a patient experiences significant discomfort during ultrasound therapy, it's prudent to discontinue the treatment
Postural Changes During Pregnancy
- A postural change not commonly associated with pregnancy is a decrease in cervical lordosis
Ambulatory Ability in a Patient with a Spinal Cord Injury
- A patient with a T1 paraplegia would be able to ambulate independently in the parallel bars using bilateral ankle-foot orthoses
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
- Maintaining a rating of 12 out of 20 on the 6-20 Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale may help improve a patient's HRV
Inconsistency in Physical Findings
- If a therapist observes an inconsistency in a patient's measured lumbar range of motion during a physical examination, it's best to discuss this discrepancy with the referring physician
Arterial Blood Gas Analysis
- Normal partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 40 mmHg
Selective Tissue Tension Assessment for Shoulder Pain
- Resisted isometrics would be most useful for assessing a specific upper extremity muscle injury in a patient with persistent shoulder pain
Assessment of a Patient with Fibromyalgia
- If a therapist identifies an inconsistency in a patient with fibromyalgia, they should discuss this with the referring physician instead of confronting the patient directly
Level of Consciousness
- A patient who responds correctly to stimuli but does not obey commands is at Level 1 of consciousness on the Ommaya Scale
