Study Notes
Hand Splinting Position
- Functional position of the hand for splinting includes wrist extension, phalangeal flexion, and thumb abduction.
Contraindications During Pregnancy
- Curl-ups are contraindicated during pregnancy.
Target Heart Rate Importance
- Determined to regulate exercise intensity for individuals entering training programs.
Herniated Nucleus Pulposus Findings
- L3-L4 disc herniation can lead to numbness in the anteromedial thigh, knee issues, and quadriceps weakness.
Shoulder Mobilization Approaches
- For limited shoulder flexion and medial rotation, anterior glide is the most suitable mobilization technique.
Techniques for Low Postural Tone
- Slow regular rocking while sitting on a treatment bolster is best for patients with low postural tone.
Aging and Wound Healing
- Decreased elasticity of the skin significantly affects wound healing in the elderly.
Foot Care Education for IDDM Patients
- Demonstrating foot inspection and providing feedback is the most effective technique for educating IDDM patients about foot care.
Rehabilitation Goals for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
- The primary goal is prevention of contractures and determining the method of mobility for affected children.
Long Thoracic Nerve Injury Symptoms
- A complete long thoracic nerve injury results in difficulty reaching forward above the head.
Outcomes of Prenatal Exercise
- Improved body mechanics, application of relaxation techniques, and strengthened pelvic floor musculature are all key outcomes.
Review Activities in Healthcare
- Utilization and peer review are part of a comprehensive quality improvement program.
Best Exercise Documentation
- The best exercise goal documentation is: "The patient will ambulate 75 feet independently in 3 weeks."
Ankle Dorsiflexion Treatment
- Treatment post-ORIF for limited ankle dorsiflexion should involve posterior glide of the talus on the tibia.
Effects of Phase III Cardiac Rehabilitation
- Successful completion is likely to decrease heart rate at a given level of submaximal work.
Age Metrics in Research
- The difference between mean age of 32 and median age of 35 indicates distribution is skewed.
Physical Therapy for Joint ROM
- Rocking in quadruped position can enhance ROM at the hip joint, 1 month post-total hip replacement.
