management problem list unable to move both lower limbs formation of grade 3 pressure sores at the sacral region difficulty in transfers air entry reduced in the lower and middle zones ant lat and post reduced chest expansion in all zones
short term goals patient education 1.sensitizing the patient about the condition the recovery process and the role of physiotherapy. 2. giving factual information about the patients capacity and limitations to the family members 3. teaching the caregivers the home program exercises 4. educating about proper hygine methods about the pressure sores like not lying in the same position for longer hours , changing the dressing time to time, changing the bedsheets time to time educating about the use of proper matteress [foam/water/air] 5. foleys catheter care like keeping the catheter hanging on the railing of bed while sleeping, checking the quantity quality and colour of the fluid in the drain
7. teaching the patient and also the caregiver about the in bed transfers and proper sidelying position for the patien lower limb: hips and knee flexed for stability with 2 pillows in between ankles dorsiflexed toes extended upper limb: lower arm flexed and lying through between the pillows suporting the head and the thorax elbow extended supinated and supported on pillows upper arm rested over the pillow on the thorax 8. educating the pt. about the correct use of reciprocating gait orthosis n informing him to wear them while ambulating
avoid secondary complications DVT, PULMONARY EMBOLISM - ATMs passive -heel slides passive to improve air entry in the lower n middle zones -segmental breathing lateral costal and posterior basal breathing exercises - incentive spitometer to improve chest expansion diaphragmatic and thoracic exapnsion exercises to prevent contractures - manual stretching of hamstrings, TA piriformis also of ul to maintain joint mobility and integrity arom exs of ul and prom exs of ll
to improve tone -tilt table - orientation to upright position start wit propping the bed at 30 if patient feels dizzy do atms to improve circulation and venous return increasing the degree wuth each day - heavy joint compression-at hip knee ankle -tapping -fast brusing to increase strength -ul exercises acc. ACSM guidlines F=2-3 days/week I=40% of 10 RM T=2-4 sets for 8-12 reps T= weights using Delormes regimen progression can be made 50%-10RM........75%-10RM........100%-10RM
to improve transfers -rolling -segmental- supine on elbow -supine to sit to improve sitting balance -pertubations - reach outs insitting guarded LONG TERM GOALS - progression and maintainece of the short term goals - transfer from bed to wheelchair 1. preparatory phase- trunk flexed forward and laterally away from the surface rtransfering to. 2. left phase- buttocks are lifted off the seating surface as trunk rotates 3. decent phase- when buttocks are on another surface
- sit to stand performed on parallel bars jack knifing reaction to initiate gait training -with the parallel bars support and guarded by the therapist -with assistive devices like cane walker crutches and orthosis
