Study Notes
Treatment Planning and Assessment
- Continuously increase intensity, duration, and frequency (I/D/F) of stimulus during rehabilitation.
- Assessment includes identifying causes of pain/anxiety, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, and functional implications of weakness.
- Goals should be tailored to patient abilities and life roles.
Suitable Candidates for Exercise
- Patients should be medically fit and capable of understanding instructions.
- Must show motivation and have a prognosis indicating potential progress.
- Sensory feedback, muscle stability, sufficient ROM, and relative pain-free conditions are necessary for participation.
- Adequate motor control and coordination are essential, particularly to manage dyskinetic movements.
Contraindications
- Avoid exercising individuals with poor health, inflammation, recent surgeries, or spasticity.
- Lack of voluntary movement control is a significant reason for exclusion from physical activity.
Principles for Muscle Strengthening and Endurance
- Provide a suitable environment with a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable temperature.
- Conduct warm-ups to improve blood flow; use low-intensity activities when necessary.
- Clearly demonstrate and practice desired movements; ensure correct patient posture.
- Controlled movements are crucial; avoid compensatory patterns.
- Apply resistance appropriately, communicating and providing feedback throughout the process.
- Implement a regular exercise regimen, aiming for 3-5 sessions weekly with adequate rest and recovery periods.
- Specificity and overload principles are essential for tailored training.
Muscle Strengthening Guidelines
- Utilize high resistance (60-70% of maximal ability).
- Focus on low repetitions (8-10 times) with targeted muscle groups.
Muscle Endurance Guidelines
- Aim for training at 60-90% maximum heart rate or 50-80% VO2max.
- Training sessions should last 15-60 minutes; average 20-30 minutes.
- Incorporate high repetitions (20+ or at least 30 seconds) with low resistance for prolonged muscle activity.
Activity Requirements for Rehabilitation
- Activities should engage specific muscles with appropriate speed, frequency, and resistance.
- Ensure movements are sustained for required times, with careful grading of resistance and activity complexity.
Pre-Exercise Considerations
- Monitor for signs of exhaustion: slower tempo, distractibility, sweating, rapid respiration, decreased range of movement, or inability to complete exercises.
- Prevent over-exertion and habituation to compensatory movements; ensure activity demands match patient capabilities.
Grading Movement and Resistance
- Movements can be graded from passive to active, considering gravity and resistance.
- Resistance can be progressively increased via weights or tools; duration can be gradually extended.
- Adjust frequency and speed according to muscle action type (concentric, eccentric, isometric).
Principles of Treatment Application
- Focus on dynamic, isometric, and eccentric actions.
- Utilize proprioceptive stimulation throughout exercises.
- Enhance coordination through gross motor activities before refining skill.
Case Studies Overview
- Assess patient-specific conditions, determine appropriate strength-training techniques based on current muscle grades, and outline safe progressions in treatment.
- For each case, devise an exercise plan that targets muscle groups, accounts for individual needs, emphasizes gradual increases, and integrates coordinated efforts to enhance recovery and rehabilitation outcomes.
