Assisting From Supine to Sitting Additional strategies: Fig. 10-2 and 18 Lateral Scooting in Sitting •Used for repositioning toward head of bed (HOB) before lying down •Good strengthening exercise in sitting, or trunk weight-shifting training •Good “pre-transfer” training – a component of lateral seated transfers 1. Position ipsilateral leg/foot laterally to prepare to receive weight 2. Abduct the arm with the hand (or fist) on bed (+space to shift hips). 3. Push down with both hands (or fist), lean head and trunk forward, lift hips up and shift laterally. Fig. 10-21 Clinical Pearl: Level of Assistance Application of Mobility Strategies: ▪Min Assist (75-25%) o the patient is able to initiate most of the movement o focus to guard the involved, weakened, and/or painful limb or site. ▪Mod Assist (50-50%) o Therapist will require to provide multi-point assistance or guarding to ensure patient safety and prevent falls or unsteadiness or worsening of pain ▪Max Assist (25-75%) o break down to assist one body part at a time ▪Always try to incorporate verbal, tactile, and visual cues to promote patient learning and subsequent independence Special Considerations IN THIS CLASS: IN FUTURE CLASSES: 1. (No particular precautions) 7. Sternal Precautions 2. Spine Precautions & Protection 8. Move-in-the-Tube 3. Abdominal Precautions 9. Hemiparesis 4. Total Hip Precautions 10. Spinal Cord Injury i. ii. iii. Posterior Approach Anterior Approach Minimal Invasive Approach 5. Hip Hemi-Arthroplasty Precautions 6. Total Hip Revision* Spine Precautions & Protection No “BLT” ◦ No bending (spinal flexion) ◦ No lifting (more than 5 lbs) ◦ No twisting (segmental rotation of the thoracolumbar spine) Clinical Applications: ◦ Spine Precautions - After Spine Surgery ◦ Spine Protection – Acute back injury or back pain ◦ Abdominal precautions & protection after abdominal surgeries, e.g., exploratory laparoscopy, and hernia repair. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil e:Exploratory_Laparotomy_Scar_(03).jpg Spine Surgeries https://youtu.be/itHlMoQ1iTA Anterior approach to cervical spine Spinal fusion. (2022, October 3). In Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_fusion 1st: Supine to Sidelying using “Logrolling” • Flex hip and knee of both or one LE. • Cross the contralateral arm across the chest. • Roll into sidelying, moving the trunk as one unit. • No Twisting = Shoulder – Hip – Knee all face the same direction. nd 2 : Sidelying to Sitting Abduct the underside arm; place the other hand on the bed near the waist. Move legs off the bed, initially pressing down with the underside hand. Continue to push the torso upright by pushing with the underside arm. Keep shoulders facing straight ahead. (Placing the hand near the waist limits flexion and abduction of the uppermost arm which would create trunk rotation.) https://demo.staywellhealthlibrary.com/Content/healthsheets -v1/step-by-step-using-log-roll-to-get-out-of-bed-hip-care/ Special Considerations IN THIS CLASS: IN FUTURE CLASSES: 1.

No hip INternal rotation past 0° (neutral) No hip EXternal rotation past 0° (neutral) • Do not roll the leg (thigh and knee) in toward the non• Do not roll the leg (knee and foot) out; keep the surgical leg; keep the toes of the affected leg pointed up toes of the affected leg pointed up or in, not out. or out, not in. • Gait: When turning toward surgical side, turn leg outward first No hip adduction beyond 0° (neutral) • Do not cross legs (at knees or ankles) pass umbilical line. • Keep pillows between the knees (in supine/sitting). • Avoid sidelying (If needed: on unaffected side and with 3-4 pillows between knees). Minimally Invasive Hip Arthroplasty (Mini-Posterior) NO COMBINATION of hip flexion > 90 deg, with hip IR and hip ADDuction • Strictly follow surgeon’s guidelines • Aka “Hip protection,” “Pose avoidance,” etc. No hip adduction beyond 0° (neutral) • Do not cross legs (at the knees or the ankles) pass umbilical line. • Keep pillows between the knees (in supine/sitting). • Avoid sidelying. (If needed: on unaffected side and with 3-4 pillows between knees). THA (Posterior Approach) Same precautions also apply to Hip Hemi-Arthroplasty ◦ E.g., s/p hip fracture Restrict movement of post-op hip: ▪No hip FLEXion beyond 90° ▪No hip INternal rotation past 0° (neutral) ▪No hip adduction beyond 0° (neutral) Supine → sitting NOT through sidelying THA (Anterior Approach) https://youtu.be/MTJK9tdSsQY Restrict movement of post-op hip: ▪No hip EXTension beyond 0° (neutral) ▪No hip EXternal rotation past 0° (neutral) ▪No hip adduction beyond 0° (neutral) Goal - Independence https://www.physio-pedia.com/Total_Hip_Replacement Clinical Pearl: Initially train patient to get out on Stronger side. In preparation for discharge – when patient demonstrates improved motor control in surgical leg, train patient to get out of bed on either side to maximize function. E.g., Left THA – posterior approach 1. Provide patient education on pertinent hip precautions to prevent hip dislocation. Flatten the bed completely. Then remove hip abduction pillow. 2. To get OOB on the stronger (R) side i. Bend strong (R) leg to a hook-lying position. ii.UEs: Use overhead trapeze if available; or use elbows to scoot laterally in bed iii.Assist pt to scoot or bridge close to (R) EOB using RLE and BUE (surgical leg can relax) iv.Patient fully scoots upper torso to L, and R leg toward EOB till R heel comes off the edge of bed. Therapist guards L leg to prevent hip adduction pass neutral. Left THA – posterior approach 3. To Long Sitting: i. Instruct pt to use elbows to prop upper torso up to sit up toward LEs till pt achieves modified long-sitting position. ii. Pt must keep UEs prop behind torso to avoid excessive hip flexion pass 90 deg. iii. Therapist: one hand support pt’s R scapula through axilla; another hand block patient’s L medial thigh from hip adduction or internal rotation pass neutral https://www.physio-pedia.com/Total_Hip_Replacement Left THA – posterior approach 4. Pt turns and pivots on gluts till sitting upright with BLE positioned in hip ER. • Pt keeps BUE behind torso while scooting to avoid excessive hip flexion. • Therapist: one hand support pt’s scapula through axilla; another hand block and gently scoot patient’s R medial thigh and assist to position in R external rotation. https://www.physio-pedia.com/Total_Hip_Replacement Orthostatic Hypotension  Also known as postural hypotension  Decrease in BP of at least 20 mm Hg systolic or 10 mm Hg diastolic within (2 to) 3 min of standing up  May also be evident when a person moves from supine to sitting  The pressure exerted in the arteries is not sufficient to move the blood against gravity to the brain and extremities  As the drop in BP occurs, the patient may experience lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, and/or fall K.

No bending forward and backward ii. No lifting > 5 pounds iii. No twisting/rotation of the spine b. Logrolling only = shoulders, hips, and knees face the same direction throughout c. E.g., To get OOB on R side at initial training 1. Lower HOB. Position pt in hook-lying to “shorten” the person. 2. Instruct patient to initiate logrolling to R by gently pushing L foot off the mattress while L arm reaches across for the bedrail or EOB. • Therapist: assists at L shoulder/scapula and L pelvis to maintain a neutral spine. 3. (Preparation:) Position R elbow forward and scoot b/l ankles forward toward EOB 4. Instruct pt to push off from R elbow (keep head tucked gently) while dropping both ankles off the bed to sit up. • Therapist: one hand assists at R scapula through R axilla; another hand provides leverage at the top pelvis and scoots the femur-knee forward off EOB. 5. Upon sitting, instruct pt to support oneself with hand, feet flat on the floor to avoid excessive lordosis and truncal loading. • Therapist’s hands remain on trunk/scapula and pelvis to assist in repositioning and ensure neutral spine and proper alignment (no BLT) • If an orthosis is ordered for OOB activity, don orthosis in a static sitting.

(Preparation:) Lower Head of Bed (HOB) to flat or slightly elevated. Bend L leg to a hook-lying position. UEs: Use overhead trapeze if available, or use elbows to scoot laterally in bed 2. Assist patient (pt) to scoot or bridge toward L side Edge of Bed (EOB) using LUE and BUE (RLE can relax) 3. In bed, pt scoots R shoulder to R side, then scoots L lower leg off the bed. Repeat until R heel is off the EOB and pt is at an angle. 4. Instruct pt to use elbows to prop upper torso up to sit up toward LEs till pt achieves modified long-sitting position. a. Pt must keep UEs prop behind the torso to avoid excessive hip flexion past 90 deg. b. Therapist: one hand supports pt’s L scapula through the axilla; another hand blocks the patient’s R medial thigh from RLE adduction or internal rotation until the patient achieves static sitting balance in a modified long-sitting position 5. Pt turns and pivots on glutes till sitting upright with BLE positioned in hip ER. Patient keeps BUE behind the torso while scooting to avoid excessive hip flexion. a.

Tool Options to maximize independence at home: Video Reference: FA Davis Ch. 10 Bed Mobility K Sam 3 Don/Doff Hip abduction pillow: - Therapist may receive a patient in bed with a hip abduction pillow in place. Before mobility, the therapist will need to take the pillow off. Therapist may need to place the hip abduction pillow when the patient returns to bed. Supine to Sit Following Total Hip Arthroplasty (Anterior Approach): K Sam 4 PT 704 Lab Week 7 Mobility with Spine Precautions (Station 1) Activity 1: Supine to Sit following Back Surgery (Spine / abdominal precautions) Review: Spine Precautions: No BLT i. No bending forward and backward ii. No lifting > 5 pounds iii. No twisting/rotation of the spine Orthosis Donning and Fitting if MD order is present: • • • Some patients do not need orthosis after surgery. If the Orthosis is in place when receiving the patient supine, the Therapist must check positioning and proper fitting of the orthosis in place prior to any movement, ROM, or repositioning. If the MD Order states, “Orthotics/Orthosis at all times.” • Orthosis must be donned and properly fitted in supine, flatbed, in an anatomical position prior to any movement, ROM, or repositioning. Review: Supine to Sitting (referenced from Week 6 Lab handout) Logrolling only = shoulders, hips, and knees face the same direction throughout E.g., To get OOB on R side at initial training 1. Lower HOB. Position pt in hook-lying to “shorten” the person. 2. Instruct patient to initiate logrolling to R by gently pushing L foot off the mattress while L arm reaches across for the bedrail or EOB. • Therapist: assists at L shoulder/scapula and L pelvis to maintain a neutral spine. 3. (Preparation:) Position R elbow forward and scoot b/l ankles forward toward EOB 4. Instruct pt to push off from R elbow (keep head tucked gently) while dropping both ankles off the bed to sit up. • Therapist: one hand assists at R scapula through R axilla; another hand provides leverage at the top pelvis and scoots the femur-knee forward off EOB. 5. Upon sitting, instruct pt to support oneself with hand, feet flat on the floor to avoid excessive lordosis and truncal loading. • Therapist’s hands remain on trunk/scapula and pelvis to assist in repositioning and ensure neutral spine and proper alignment (no BLT) K Sam 1 Activity 2: Upon sitting: Positioning in Static Sitting: 1. Check to make sure the patient’s pelvis is level. 2. Patient scoots forward till feet are flat and even, the pelvis is flat and even to achieve proper spine alignment. a. typically, if the patient is in a hospital bed, it’s helpful to have the edge of the bed slightly elevated to reduce the need and workload the patient needs to exert to go from sitting to standing. b. Assistance and cues will be provided to ensure the patient's spine is straight and compliant with no BLT precautions. Orthosis Donning and Fitting if MD order is present: • • • Again, some patients do not need orthosis after surgery. If the Orthosis is in place when receiving the patient supine, the Therapist must check again to ensure proper fitting of the orthosis prior to any movement, ROM, or repositioning. If the MD order states, “Orthosis when Out-of-Bed.” o That means an orthosis is ordered for OOB activity, therapist will put on the orthosis for the patient in a static sitting at the first visit (and work toward patient's self-management). o Orthosis must be donned and properly fitted in upright sitting, feet flat on the floor, knees hip-width apart, upright posture, and chin tuck throughout the fitting procedure. Regardless, reinforce precautions in sitting through demonstration.

Minimally Invasive Hip Arthroplasty (Mini-Posterior) NO COMBINATION of hip flexion > 90 deg, with hip IR and hip ADDuction • Strictly follow surgeon’s guidelines • Aka “Hip protection,” “Pose avoidance,” etc. 1 Activity 1: Review Supine to Sit with Posterior Hip Precautions following Total Hip Arthroplasty Reference: Week 6 lab handout. Activity 2: Transfer with Posterior Hip Precautions following Total Hip Arthroplasty Equipment Preparation: o Fitting of Front wheel walker (FWW): handle at the level of patient’s wrist. Environmental Setup: o To Chair: The chair is angled at 90 degrees by the bedside with environmental objects as backup to avoid the chair slipping away during stand-to-sit transfer. o To Wheelchair (W/C): W/C is angled 45 degrees by the bedside with leg rests removed, brakes locked, and front wheels aligned with W/C. ▪ Extra thick cushion will be needed to keep the hip from flexing beyond 90-degree hip flexion. Be mindful of the risk of slipping out of seat as well. A lap belt and proper footrests will be needed. When turning with FWW: Be mindful to turn the involved leg out (into Ext rotation) before turning FWW. o E.g., R THA: Turning to R: 1. Patient steps to turn R foot out first (do not pivot on foot) 2. Turn FWW 3. Turn the other foot. 4. It may take 2-3 small turning steps to complete a turn to avoid hip internal rotation at all times.

Gait Cycle, Stride length, Step length  Step Length – the linear distance between the occurrence of one point in the gait cycle of one foot and the same point in the gait cycle accomplished by the opposite extremity (e.g., L heel strike to R heel strike).  Stride Length –the linear distance between the occurrence of one point in the gait cycle of one foot and the recurrence of that point by the same extremity (e.g., L heel strike to L heel strike).  Gait Cycle – the time period that begins with the initial contact of an extremity and lasts until that extremity strikes the ground again (contains a stance + swing phased of each LE) stance FIGURE 14-1 Gait cycle, stride length, and step length and width Gait Pattern – Phases https://youtu.be/DP5-um6SvQI?si=sZNMRI-a9pycRw4Z Other Gait-Related Terminology:  Stance Time -the period that an extremity is in contact with the ground  Single-limb support time - the period when only one extremity is in contact with the ground  Double-limb support time  Swing time - period that an extremity is off the ground during the swing phase of that extremity  Cadence  Speed - period when both feet are in contact with the ground the number of steps taken in a given unit of time (ex: steps/sec, or steps/min) - the rate at which an individual’s locomotion covers a specific distance (ex: m/s) Common Weight-Bearing Status for Lower & Upper Extremities:  “FWB RLE” = Full Weight Bearing    No restriction to weight bearing. “WBAT RLE” = Weight-Bearing As Tolerated  As tolerated, up to full body weight  Limited by weakness, pain, balance, apprehension, etc. “50% PWB RLE” = Partial Weight-Bearing  Commonly ranged from 30% to 50%. For example, “30% PWB RLE,” “40% PWB RLE.”  Need to have a defined percentage (%) in the Physician’s order  Need MD order to clarify % if not clearly stated in the order.  Depending on the facility and surgeons, PT may default to NWB if mobility needs to be initiated. Common Weight-Bearing Status for Lower & Upper Extremities (cont.)   “TTWB RLE” = Toe-Touch Weight-Bearing; or TDWB RLE = Touch-Down Weight-Bearing  Light enough to avoid crushing a potato chip (or a raw egg) underfoot.  Primarily for balance  Can promote normal gait pattern, especially if the patient will be on restricted weight bearing for weeks or longer. “NWB RLE” = Non-Weight-Bearing  Cannot put any weight through the affected limb.  This includes not resting the foot on the ground during standing or ambulation., Clinical Skills I Gait (Part 3) KAREN W. SAM, PT, DPT, GCS WEST COAST UNIVERSITY To Prepare for Gait: Sit to Stand with Assistive Device MOBILITY IN CONTEXT CHAPTERS 14 AND 15 Sit-to-Stand with Walker * Front casters facing forward Sit-to-Stand with Axillary Crutches • Both crutches on one side (holding on inside) • Crutches are best held opposite the “involved” side • Push down on armrest and crutch grips • Stand and balance; transfer a crutch under each arm • Reverse to sit Sit-to-Stand with Forearm Crutches Sit-to-Stand With Cane • Move into ready position • Lay cane to the side, holding the handle in the same hand with the armrest • Push to standing and place cane upright • OR if the cane can stand on its own: • Place cane next to chair • Push to standing on both armrests • Grasp cane Fitting an Assistive Device •You can estimate with the patient seated •Most devices have a weight limit ~260-300 lbs. – check for bariatric options as needed *Always confirm fit in Standing (and functional walking position, if needed): • Have the patient in good posture and wearing typical footwear when fitting the device • Guard appropriately during fitting • Two fingers should fit between the axilla and the axillary pad. • Device handle is typically at the level of the greater trochanter or ulnar styloid process • Patient should have approximately 20-30 degrees of elbow flexion to allow triceps activation Navigating Curbs & Ramps Up and Down Curbs with Walker Ascending a curb: ◦ Walker first, followed by STRONG Leg Descending a curb: • Walker first, Weaker Leg, STRONG Leg. Up and Down Curbs with Crutches (no rail) Ascending Curb with Crutches: If patient is steady: 1. 2. Up with STRONG Leg Weaker Leg + B/L Crutches If patient is Less steady: 1. 2. 3. Up with STRONG leg Weaker leg Crutches Descending Curb with Crutches If patient is steady: 1. 2. 3. Down with B/L Crutches Weaker Leg STRONG leg If patient is Less steady: 1. 2. 3. 4. Down with 1 Crutch from the Strong Leg side Down the other Crutch Weaker Leg STRONG leg Up and Down Curbs with Cane (no rail) Ascending Curb with Cane: If patient is steady: 1. 2. Up with STRONG Leg Weaker Leg + Cane If patient is Less steady: 1. 2. 3. Up with STRONG leg Weaker leg Cane Descending Curb with Crutches 1. 2. 3. Down with Cane Weaker Leg STRONG leg Guarding – Ascending Curb Ascending: Typically, behind and slightly to the weaker side: o Therapist’s starting position: • 1 foot on the same step as the patient. • Other foot: 1 step behind the patient. • Hand Placement: anterior shoulder + pelvis/low back/hips and on gait belt. Guarding – Descending Curb Descending: Typically, Guard on the weaker side: o Therapist’s starting position: • 1 foot on 1 step down – ready to receive walker. • Other foot: 1 step behind the patient. • Hand Placement: anterior shoulder + pelvis/low back/hips and on gait belt. Walking on Ramp/Inclines With Assistive Devices • Lean forward when ascending. • Take slightly longer steps when ascending. • Take slightly shorter steps when descending. • Follow zigzag path if necessary to reduce steepness of path. Navigating Stairs Stairs With Assistive Devices (cont.) Stairs with Axillary Crutches • “Up with the good, down with the bad.” • Move crutches with the involved or weaker LE (requires more coordination and trunk control) • If more stability is needed, then GAS up and SAG down Stairs with Axillary Crutches Using Rails Stairs with Forearm Crutches Can perform as with axillary crutches Stairs with Cane • “Up with the good, down with the bad.” • May move cane to other hand in order to use handrail • May need to turn quad cane sideways for secure placement • Step-to-step or step-over-step Stairs with Walker…? Debatable….. risk of loss of balance considering the unsteadiness and challenge to place FWW on an even surfaces to support patient’s body weight. Guarding – Ascending Stairs Ascending: o Therapist’s Starting Position: • behind and slightly to the weaker side • Hand Placement: anterior shoulder + pelvis/low back/hips on gait belt. • 1 foot on the same step as the patient. • Other foot: 1 step below and behind the patient. • Patient and Therapist take turns to step (Avoid taking step at the same time) Guarding – Descending Stairs Descending: o Therapist’s Starting Position: • Face patient (therapist will descend backward) • Hand Placement: anterior shoulder + anterior part of gait belt. • 1 foot 1 step lower than the patient. • Other foot: 2 steps lower than the patient. Bottom Scooting Up Stairs May be needed for emergencies (teach it!) Safest option if you have limited strength to complete the task: 1. Position yourself in front of the stairs so that they are behind you. 2. Pushing through the unaffected leg and both hands, raise yourself up the stairs one at a time.
