between the 5th lumbar vertebrae and coccyx, 5 vertebrae sacrum
lonest bone in body; varies in approach based on injury; OT may see in acute care, outpatient, hospitals because of fractures or surgeries femur
these absorb and transfer forces from the ground up and trunk down, sacroiliac and coxal are examples joints of pelvis and hip
stabilizes pelvis under strain of opposing forces, synovial joint sacroiliac joint
joint; ball-and-socket; triaxial; movements are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation hip/coxal joint

can be used to assess movement and strength of hip, knee, ankle, and foot; typically done laying down goniometry and MMT
moving from one place or position to another functional mobility
walking ambulation
shifting weight of body from one leg to another, facilitates positioning and movement of body, done in clinic commonly, need to do this to complete activities weight-shifting
hinge joint; biaxial; movements: flexion, extension, internal and external rotation; rotation mostly driven by hip tibiofemoral joint
gliding articulation between 2 bones, knee extension: bone glides superiorly and medially, knee flexion: bone glides distally and laterally patellofemoral joint
two articulations between 2 bones, ankle stability is mostly distal, slight movement at these joints proximal and distal tibiofibular joints

movement of the toes; major muscles: flexor digitorum longus (!), flexor digitorum brevis, lumbricals, quadratus plantae, DABs, PADs, abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi brevis; degree of flex and extend helps with balance (reduced=bad balance) flexion of 2-5 toes
movement of the toes; major muscles: extensor digitorum longus and brevis, lumbricals; degree of flexion and extension helps with balance (reduced=bad balance) extension of 2-5 toes
keep patient close, keep patient facing you, bend at knees, keep a straight neutral spine, lift with legs and not back, keep BOS wide (shoulder's width), avoid twisting and rotating therapist's body mechanics with transfers
moving a client from one surface to another, goal is generalization, skills developed and learned in one can be applied to others transfers
based on initial OT evaluation you want to select a transfer that can be performed in a way that is... consistent, safe, effective
type of assisted transfer, far supervision, least assistance stand-by assistance
type of assisted transfer, near supervision close guarding
type of assisted transfer, constant contact contact guard
based on size and fear of falling level of assistance
secured around a patient's waist, used to provide a secure point of contact, alternative method to control patient's motion during transfer, should be able to only fit a few fingers under this when on gait belts
move surfaces as close as possible, adjust height of surfaces, flatten surface if beneficial, lock and test brakes, provide instructions to client transfer set-up
adjust patient's body position while laying in bed bed mobility
moving from supine to sitting without rotating back or hips, good for back injuries logroll
includes flexing knees and hips and pushing with feet against bed to elevate and shift pelvis bridging
maximizes strength of upper extremities for bed mobility, hangs over bed, allows client to pull and slide up, not appropriate for all, need upper body strength trapeze bar
part of many transfers but not a transfer itself sit-to-stand
therapist does 1-25% of work minimal assistance
therapist does 26-50% of work moderate assistance
therapist does 51-75% of work maximum assistance
therapist does 76+% of work, usually more than one person helping dependent assistance
assisted stand, pivot on stance leg, sitting on a surface, minimum or moderate assistance stand-pivot transfer
patient does not have strength to come to a complete stand squat-pivot transfer
sliding board placed between 2 functional surfaces; used for individuals with a spinal cord injury, bariatric patients, amputees, lower extremity paralysis sliding board transfer
individuals who can contribute minimal to no assistance to move from one place to another, 2 person squat-pivot transfer or mechanical lift transfer dependent transfer
everything starts where pelvis
backward rotation of pelvis; flattens lumbar spine; increases thoracic flexion; bad for spine, lungs (chest is rounded and constricts lung cavity), not good for eating, makes transport difficult, poor upper limb movement; ex. slumping posterior pelvic tilt
forward rotation of pelvis, increases lumbar lordosis, increases extension of upper trunk, opens up chest, much better for upper extremity activities anterior pelvic tilt
sagittal plane position, pelvis tilts anterior or posterior pelvic tilt
frontal plane position, one side of pelvis is superior or inferior to the other, misalignment pelvic obliquity
transverse plane position, rotation of one side of pelvis is anterior or posterior, misalignment, twisted pelvic rotation
which type of transfer is more difficult when the client is in posterior pelvic tilt sit-to-stand
what movement helps bring a client out of posterior pelvic tilt rocking
general static location of an object or individual in space position
areas of high pressure, often involves a bony prominence pressure sores
relative positions of segments of body that changes in response to demands of an activity; ex. scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis posture
collective position of body segments at any given moment, necessary for occupational performance, neutral position postural alignment
ability to achieve or maintain a balanced body position for a given activity, voluntary and involuntary adjustments, maintaining trunk control and other things while doing an activity postural control
neutral alignment of joints in the body, level pelvis supporting the natural curvature of spine standing posture
upper body vertically balanced above pelvis; supporting head, neck, and upper extremities quiet standing
small movements from side to side and front to back, helps maintain posture while standing, reduces pressure on feet or other pressure points, clients with strokes or other injuries may not correct like this naturally postural sway
neutral pelvic tilt as well as head and neck, symmetry is important, upright trunk with balanced curvature of spine, ears aligned with shoulders, doing this for a long time can cause back pain seated posture
as part of prep for a transfer individuals need to have seated posture that is as ____ and ____ as possible upright; symmetrical
OTs often work on trunk control, strength, and stability needed to (increase/decrease) upright posture as part of transfer training increase
positioning is important, neutral pelvic tilt, footrests should support legs in approximately 90 degrees of hip and knee flexion wheelchair mobility
ability to maintain control over position or movement of your body stability
come into contact with ground, distance between points, parts of body or mobility device, larger the distance between the points the better, adding an assistive device increases this base of support
BOS constantly changes, varying contact between feet and ground, more points of contact, one is easier on points of contact walking or running
adds points of contact; increases stability; ex. canes, crutches, walkers mobility devices
adds 4 points of contact, greater stability while standing or walking, assist with balance since they increase BOS walker
focal point at which gravity acts and around which the weight of an object is evenly distributed, lower = increased stability, kids have higher ones because of disproportionate heads, as weight distribution changes this changes center of gravity
represents downward force of gravity acting on body, vertical line, if it falls with BOS the body is anatomically stable, extends from COG to ground line of gravity
stability required for an individual to perform a particular task in a specific environmental context; depends on body structure and function; sitting or standing; ex. movement, doing activities, shifting BOS functional (dynamic) stability
increase BOS and maintain LOG within its boundaries, increase surface area and friction of point of contact with ground, carry objects close to body and distribute weight as evenly as possible ways to enhance stability
study of human interaction and efficiency with work environment ergonomics
postural abnormality, one leg is longer than other, lifts are helpful to balance this, causes pelvic obliquity, increases risk of falls leg length discrepancy
curvature of spine, can contribute to pelvic obliquity, affects hips and knees which makes people with this more likely to need surgeries on hip and knee joints as well as their back scoliosis
is ASIS or PSIS higher in posterior pelvic tilt ASIS
tilt of pelvic that increases thoracic kyphosis and rounded back; common in older women; swayback, Dowager's hump, and flat back are types posterior pelvic tilt
type of posterior tilt, posterior tilt and shifting of pelvis relative to feet swayback
type of posterior pelvic tilt, flexion of thoracic spine and orientation of upper body downward Dowager's hump
type of posterior tilt, decrease in lumbar lordosis and general flattening of thoracolumbar spine flat back
type of pelvic tilt, PSIS above ASIS, increases lumbar lordosis and extension of upper trunk anterior pelvic tilt
protraction of head and neck anterior to trunk, common when using phones forward head posture
affected by roles, habits, routines, and rituals; what are they doing and how much are they doing it; prolonged positioning causes issues; consider work position for various jobs posture and occupation
good for minor weakness, impairment in balance, or pain; hold this in the hand opposite of the affected leg; two different types: single-point and quad standard J-cane
one projection on the ground, cane single-point cane
four projections at the base; advantages: broad BOS for increased weight shift, stands alone when not held; disadvantages: slows gait (person will not walk at a normal speed), not used for balance during normal gait quad cane
advantages: very stable BOS, foldable, used for hemiplegia; disadvantages: poor on stairs, used for weight-bearing and not balance, prevents normal gait pattern; more for front of body and not sides hemi-walker
should be done standing, place device 6 inches lateral to toes, top of cane should be level with greater trochanter of femur, elbow should be flexed to 20-30 degrees when grasping, alternative: should line up with crease of wrist sizing canes
advantages: improves balance, provides lateral stability, decreases weight-bearing, able to use on stairs; disadvantages: awkward, safety, underarm pressure, requires good balance axillary crutches
recommended for healthy, younger individuals with acute injuries axillary crutches
advantages: free hands, can use on stairs, can use individually on one side as a cane, balance; disadvantages: less weight-bearing relief and requires arm strength forearm crutches
used with individuals with chronic conditions (especially MS and cerebral palsy) which affect balance but not strength forearm crutches
done while standing, two inches below axilla, handpiece: measure at wrist or elbow with 20-30 degrees of flexion, alternate: subtract 16 inches from patient height sizing crutches
4 points on the floor, provides anterior-posterior and medial-lateral stability for balance and weight-bearing, most stability, no wheels, can have attachments as needed, used post-orthopedic issues often, fatiguing common standard walker
fixed wheels in front, difficulty with turning, may have hand or compression brakes, most can fold for portability, good for constant balance support, bariatric versions: sturdier metal with wheels in the back front-wheeled walkers
a.k.a. a rollator, not much stability for weight-bearing, best for minor balance and fatigue issues, often has a seat to help with fatigue four-wheeled walkers
a repeating reciprocal pattern of lower extremity movement, there are alternating stance and swing phases (opposite legs are in opposite phases) gait
goal is to propel the body forward gait
phase of gait; involves planting foot and shifting weight to it; 5 components: heel strike, foot flat, midstance, heel-off, toe-off stance phase
phase of gait; moving the leg; 3 components: acceleration, midswing, and deceleration swing phase
part of swing phase, anterior shear force applied to foot from the ground, during heel-off acceleration
part of swing phase, posterior shear force applied to foot from the ground to slow propulsion of lower extremity, part of heel strike deceleration
pelvis tilts and has obliquity back and forth and drops with swing phase into stance normally, abnormally there is lots of or no pelvic movement gait
distance the foot advances in relation to the other step
distance between heels, determines individual's base of support while ambulating step width
number of steps taken per minute cadence
components of measuring gait step, step width, cadence
abnormal gait, pelvis drops excessively on swing leg side with each step, typically caused by a weak gluteus medius, slows down cadence trendelenburg gait
matters for any occupation that includes ambulation gait
abnormal gait, circumducting (swinging) the leg out to the side of the body to propel it forward, trunk and pelvis rotate anteriorly, slows dows cadence circumduction gait
abnormal gait, toes drag against the ground during swing phase, loss of ankle dorsiflexion, common after a stroke or TBI, increases risk of falls and toes getting caught foot drop
abnormal gait, paralysis or weakness of an entire side of the body, results from neurological pathology (ex. stroke, TBI, or cerebral palsy), may include foot drop or spasticity hemiplegic gait
abnormal gait; ambulating against, or to avoid pain; not one way of doing it; slow; may twist or circumduct; have full passive ROM but painful antalgic gait
abnormal gait, ROM and strength are not compromised, lack of coordination causes the impairment, staggering, trying to catch balance, typically seen post-stroke or cerebellar defecits ataxic gait
abnormal gait, narrowing or even crossing-over of the legs as they walk, abnormal muscle tone with tightness of the hip adductors, associated with cerebral palsy or other neurological pathologies, commonly bilateral scissor gait
abnormal gait, shuffling the feet with flexion of the trunk, placing the weight of the body on the balls of the feet parkinsonian gait
cane should be placed opposite of what side of the body, first step involves weak leg and cane at the same time weaker side
weight should be beared on ____ when using cruthces hands
reflects what a doctor will allow the patient to do and not necessarily what is functionally possible for the client based on diagnosis weight-bearing
full, partial, none, toe-touch types of weight-bearing
type of weight-bearing, walker goes first with injured leg, back leg aligned with back of walker, step through with second leg full weight-bearing with walker
type of weight-bearing, walker, then injured leg, then transfer weight to arms and step through with the second leg partial weight-bearing with walker
type of weight-bearing, walker, then transfer weight to arms, involved leg swings through with other leg, injured leg does not touch floor non-weight-bearing
type of weight-bearing, only allowed to put the foot down to guide, better to treat as non-weight-bearing toe-touch weight-bearing
