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.
