    Study Notes

    Rehabilitation Strategies

    • Developed by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital readmission rates, and minimize the use of primary care resources
    • Help patients return to activities sooner and reduce the length of stay in critical care
    • Key elements of rehabilitation strategies include:
      • Evaluation of physical, psychological, social, and environmental aspects of rehabilitation and community-based care
      • Identification of realistic goals and common conflicts in goal setting
      • Use of systems of classification, frameworks, tools, and other resources for measuring disease severity, independence, performance, capacity, and functionality
      • Setting rehabilitation goals that center on "what matters most" to the patient

    Global Burden of Disease

    • Close to a quarter of the total global burden of disease is attributable to disorders in people aged 60 years and older
    • Global burden of disease is calculated using the disability-adjusted life year (DALY)
    • DALY represents the loss of the equivalent of one year of full health
    • Top 10 causes of DALYs include:
      • Neonatal conditions
      • Ischemic heart disease
      • Stroke
      • Lower respiratory infections
      • Diarrheal diseases
      • Road injury
      • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
      • Diabetes mellitus
      • Tuberculosis
      • Congenital anomalies

    Morbidities Requiring Rehabilitation Strategies

    • Morbidities can be physical (e.g., weakness, pain, incontinence) or non-physical (e.g., anxiety, depression, hallucinations)
    • Morbidities can be caused by events such as stroke, falls, dementia, and trauma
    • Rehabilitation strategies must take into account the individual's physical and non-physical morbidities

    Preventing Deconditioning

    • Deconditioning is a complex process of physiological change following a period of inactivity, bed rest, or sedentary lifestyle
    • Deconditioning can result in functional losses in areas such as mental status, continence, and ability to accomplish activities of daily living
    • Strategies to prevent deconditioning include:
      • Early mobilization and ambulation
      • Promotion of independence and autonomy
      • Minimization of bed rest and sedentary behavior
      • Encouragement of physical activity and exercise

    5Ms Framework

    • The 5Ms framework includes:
      • Mind: mentation, dementia, delirium, depression
      • Mobility: impaired gait and balance, fall injury rehabilitation, physical activity, resistance exercises
      • Medications: polypharmacy, deprescribing, adverse medication effects, medication burden
      • Multi-complexity: multi-morbidity, complex bio-psychosocial situations
      • Matters most: each patient having meaningful rehabilitative outcome goals and care preferences

    Rehabilitation Potential

    • Rehabilitation potential is a complex determination based on factors such as:
      • The experience of the clinician
      • Knowledge of the patient's medical conditions
      • The patient's ability to progress with a period of rehabilitation
      • Initiative and motivation on the part of the patient
    • All patients should be offered rehabilitative care, regardless of their rehabilitation potential

    Assessments and Measurements

    • The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is an organized approach to assessment that includes:
      • Holistic process of assessment
      • Formulation of a care plan
      • Coordinated delivery of services according to the plan
      • Monitoring
    • The 5Ms framework can be used to adapt the CGA to individual settings
    • The Barthel Index measures and scores the individual's ability to perform activities of daily living
    • The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) carries an 18-item global measure of disability
    • The Functional Assessment Measure (FAM) adds 12 items to FIM, addressing cognitive and psychosocial function among individuals with brain injuries### Rehabilitation and Care Model
    • Labibah's rehabilitation goals include progressing to independence with a walking stick and transitioning to a normal diet.
    • The physiotherapist aims to improve Labibah's mobility and independence, despite her unsteady gait and pain on mobilization.
    • Bladder retraining is necessary to address Labibah's urinary incontinence.

    Medication Management

    • Labibah is on multiple medications, including ramipril, gabapentin, zopiclone, bumetanide, atorvastatin, l-thyroxine, escitalopram, and esomeprazole.
    • The 7 Steps medication review method is used to wean Labibah off gabapentin, SSRI, and zopiclone.
    • Polypharmacy is a concern, and the goal is to complete weaning of these medications as tolerated.

    Health Status

    • Labibah has a pubic ramus fracture, pneumonia, and chronic hyponatremia.
    • She has a clinical frailty score of 4 and a 4AT of 2, indicating mild frailty and cognitive impairment.
    • Labibah developed a delirium during her hospital stay, triggered by the hospital environment, which resulted in deconditioning.

    Mobility and Function

    • Labibah's mobility is impaired, and she requires assistance with a rollator Zimmer frame.
    • Her Barthel Index score decreased from 16 to 10 on day 7 of her admission, indicating a decline in her level of function.

    Social History and Priorities

    • Labibah is recently widowed and active in her community, with a strong support system from her extended family.
    • What matters most to Labibah is being able to get around her house independently using a stick, and preventing deconditioning is a priority.
