Describe the functional outcome of L4-L5 SCI | -Tib ant/post, medial hamstrings innervated -Independent with almost everything -May NOT need manual wheelchair- amb with AFOs |
Describe the functional outcome of Central Cord Syndrome SCI | -Normal LE, UE weakness with minimal spasticity -MinA to mod I with ADLs, transfers, and wheelchair -Ambulation SBA to Independent |
Describe the functional outcome of Brown Sequard Syndrome SCI | -Paresis on side of lesion, sensation loss on other side -Independent with ADLs, wheelchair, transfers -Amb with minA to mod I |
What is the highest level of SCI that could operate a power chair with hand controls (joystick)? | C5 |
What is the highest level of SCI that could drive a car with hand controls? | C6 |
What is the highest level of SCI that can cough independently? | C7 |
What is the highest level of SCI that could use a manual wheelchair with standard hand rims? | C8 |
What is the highest level of SCI that can potentially amb short distances with orthotics and would be able to perform wheelies (wheelchair sports, uneven terrain)? | T4 |
What is the highest level of SCI that could amb household distances with KAFOs? | T9 (still high energy comsumption) |
What is the highest level of SCI that ambulation as primary mode of mobility would be possible (with orthotics)? | L4 |
Anterior Cord (anterior spinal artery) Syndrome | -Cortiocopinal tract affected (motor function) -Vestibulospinal and Lateral Spinothalamic Tracts most affected (light touch, proprioception, pain, temperature) |
Central Cord Syndrome | -UE affected, LE not really -LST (pain and temp) most affected -Motor more affected than sensory tracts -Most can walk and have some bowel/bladder control |
Brown-Sequard Syndrome | -Similar to stroke presentation! -Hemiparesis on side of lesion, also loss of vibration and joint position sense -Loss of pain and temp on opposite side (LST) -Usually recover pretty well |
Posterior Cord Syndrome | -Rare -Motor fxn ok -Pain, proprioception, 2 pt discrim, and stereognosis deficits |
Cauda Equina Sydnrome | -Below L1, usually incomplete -Lower motor neuron injury= flaccid paralysis -Full recovery not typical |
CVA Standard Tests | NIH Stroke Scale (assessment of impairment) FIM (level of assist with mobility and ADLs) Stroke Impact Scale (level of physical and social disability) Fugl-Meyer (motor, sensory, balance, pain, ROM) |
Bobath theory | -NDT, key points of control -Postural control -Facilitation and inhibition -Reflex inhibiting postures (inhibit abnormal tone/movement) |
Brunnstrom theory | -Hemiplegia -Synkinesis and phenomenons -Seven stages of recovery |
Kabatt, Knott, and Voss theory | -PNF -Mass movement, overflow |
Rood theory | -Use sensory system to facilitate/inhibit motor -Goal of homeostasis -Heavy vs light work -Ex: brushing, icing, approximation |
At what age do infants start rolling? | 4-5 months supine<->sidelying 6-7 months supine<->prone |
At what age do infants st independently? | 6-7 months |
At what age do infants start to crawl and cruise? | 8-9 months |
At what age do infants start to walk without support? | 12-15 months |
RLA Level I | No response Appears to be in deep sleep, no response to any stimuli |
RLA Level II | Generalized response Inconsistent, non-purposeful reaction to stimuli |
RLA Level III | Localized response Inconsistent, but specific reaction to stimuli |
RLA Level IV | Confused-Agitated Bizarre, non-purposeful behavior. Unable to cooperate directly with treatment efforts. |
RLA Level V | Confused-Inappropriate Can respond to simple commands ONLY, most of the time. Severe memory impairment, unable to learn new info. |
RLA Level VI | Confused-Appropriate Follows simple commands consistently. Shows carryover of relearned tasks. Memory still impaired. |
RLA Level VII | Automatic-Appropriate Automatic daily routine, robotic. Slow carryover for new learning. Impaired judgement. |
RLA Level VIII | Purposeful-Appropriate Aware and appropriately responsive to normal environment. Independent with re-learned activities. May still have deficits relative to PLOF (reasoning, judgement, stress response) |
Glasgow Coma Scale- Eye Opening | Spontaneous 4 To speech 3 To pain 2 Nil 1 |
Glasgow Coma Scale- Best Motor Response | Obeys commands 6 Localizes pain 5 Withdraws 4 Abnormal flexion 3 Extensor response 2 Nil 1 |
Glasgow Coma Scale- Verbal Response | Oriented 5 Confused conversation 4 Inappropriate words 3 Incomprehensible sounds 2 Nil 1 |
Glasgow Coma Scale- What do the scores mean? | 8 or less= severe brain injury 9-12= moderate brain injury 13-15= mild brain injury |
Brunnstrom Stage 1 | No volitional movement |
Brunnstrom Stage 2 | Limb synergies appear. Spasticity begins. |
Brunnstrom Stage 3 | Synergies performed voluntarily. Spasticity increases. |
Brunnstrom Stage 4 | Movement patterns begin outside of synergies. Spasticity decreases. |
Brunnstrom Stage 5 | Independence from synergies. Spasticity continues to decrease. |
Brunnstrom Stage 6 | Isolated joint movements with coordination |
Brunnstrom Stage 7 | Normal movement is restored |
