Study Notes
Physical Therapy Practice and Techniques Overview
- Posture testing involves standing lateral to a plumb line to assess ideal alignment
- The plumb line represents the body's upward alignment and the center of gravity
- Therapists use minimal lifting policies and mechanical lifting equipment for patient safety
- Patient positioning is crucial for skin protection, pressure injury prevention, and joint contracture avoidance
- Hospitals can be penalized for pressure sores developed by patients in their care
- Positioning devices like pillows, blankets, and splints aid in protecting the patient's skin
- Draping in physical therapy serves to ensure privacy, warmth, hygiene, and cultural safety
- Bed mobility exercises aim to strengthen muscles and improve body stabilization
- Bed mobility techniques include rolling, scooting, and transitioning from supine to sitting
- Systems review in physical therapy involves a brief examination of the client's physiological status
- Cardiovascular, pulmonary, integumentary, musculoskeletal, and neuromuscular systems are assessed during a systems review
- Systems review helps determine the client's appropriateness for physical therapy and guides further assessment or referrals.
