Stage 1 (Spontaneously Reversible) Puffy appearance of the hand or foot (distally). There may be pitting edema. It may be more difficult to see veins on the top of the hand or foot. It is not unusual for swelling to improve at night but return during the day. Similarly, elevation may temporarily reduce the edema. Lymphedema hasn't been present long enough to result in fibrosis.

stage 3 lymphedema

Stage 3 (Lymphostatic Elephantiasis) Skin typically becomes dry and scaly and the limb or other affected body region becomes very large. There may be fluid leaking from the limb and skin infections are common. The weight of the limb can be debilitating. Excess skin projections (including blisters) can form to attempt to contain the fluid, and these projections pose an even greater infection risk.

protective extension reaction

Stimulus: displace the center of gravity outside the base of support Response: arms or legs extend and abduct to support and to protect the body against falling ---proective extension downward (parachute reaction) develops first, following by FW, SW, and BW) Onset: arms 4-6 mos, legs 6-9 mos, persists

Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR)

Stimulus: flexion or extension of the head Response: head flexion: flexion of the arms and extension of the legs Head extension: extension of the arms and flexion of the legs ***can strongly influence the ability to assume a quadruped position and the ability to crawl onset- 4-6 months integrated 8-12 months

Which of the following interventions is BEST to achieve sustained improvements in lower extremity alignment during walking

Strength training has been shown to improve gait and muscle performance in patients who have cerebral palsy. The physical therapist should seek to create a balance of muscle activity across a joint. In this case, addressing quadriceps and gluteal muscles will be beneficial for improving knee and hip extension by counteracting the forces potentiating flexion.

Gastrointestinal complications post SCI

Stress ulcers occur in the stomach or duodenum in 5-22% of cord injured patients during the acute phase of recovery -other GI complications include bowel obstruction, fecal impaction, or gastric dilation. bowel programs aim for regular evacuation ---can be achieved by diet, stool softeners, fluid intake, digit stimulation, suppositories and manual stretch of sphincters with evacuation.

SC lesion at s3 and below lead to

Spinal cord lesions at the level of S3 and below lead to bladder areflexia and dysfunction of the external sphincter S2-S4 innervate muscles in the perineum and external sphincter; therefore, complete loss of innervation would lead to paralysis of the respective musculature

A patient has sustained a moderate ankle sprain with significant swelling greater than 1 inch (2.5 cm) throughout the ankle and into the foot. Which of the following wrapping techniques is MOST appropriate to control the edema?

Spiral compression wrap with more pressure on the limb distally than proximally When applying compression wraps to control edema, a spiral wrap is used with more pressure applied distally than proximally. In no case should a wrap be applied with the proximal pressure greater than the distal pressure.

Stages of Lymphedema stage 0

Stage 0 (Non-Visible, Latency) Lymphedema can develop very slowly—early changes within the tissues without obvious noticeable swelling or symptoms. Protein molecules can accumulate beneath the skin and"pull" extra water into the affected area, occasionally resulting in sensations of heaviness or fatigue in the limb or region. Despite a "normal" measurement of tissue or limb sizes inthat area, the early changes leading to lymphedema have begun and generally respond to treatment. This stage should not be ignored— instead, prompt treatment will reduce the risk of worsening edema.

thermoregulation problems post SCI

1) cord injury that interrupts communication with the hypothalamus can cause hypothermia due to peripheral vasodilation 2) reflexive tone returns in the peripheral vasculature, resolving this problem 3) later, hyperthermia occurs due to a loss in sympathetic control of the sweat glands. 4) below the level of the lesion sweating does not occur. To compensate diaphoresis occurs above the lesions.

changes to CV system post SCI

1) with an injury to the cord blocks communication between the brainstem and the t/l cord, sympathetic input to the heart is lost and parasympathetic input remains, resulting in bradycardia, peripheral vasodilation and hypotension 2) orthostatic hypotension occurs due to a drop in bP when the pt moves from horizontal to upright 3) problems are usually significant with lesions above T6 and often resolve within a few weeks of injury

Which of the following conditions is MOST likely present?

wound healing with e-stim

The principle behind wound healing with electrical stimulation is galvanotaxis. he current's polarity introduced into the wound attracts cells that promote healing. Thus, a generator that has polarity must be used. High-voltage pulsed currents are polar currents. The other stimulators are not polar because they have a counter-pulse in the opposite direction that cancels out any polar effects. The negative electrode will attract neutrophils and is used in infected wounds. The positive electrode attracts macrophages and epidermal cells and is used in treating noninfected wound states. The frequency of 100 pps provides a continuous, comfortable current and has been demonstrated to promote healing.

Management by Noninvasive Complex Lymphedema Therapy

• Hygiene and Topical Skin Care• Aim is to eliminate bacterial and fungal growth. Low pH, lanolin-based skin lotions are used twice a day with meticulous skin and nail care. • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)• This massage follows the course of the lymphatic system and should empty and decompress the obstructed lymphvessels.- Contraindications for MLD are: malignant tumor, thrombosis, acute bacteriological or viral infection, cardiovascular insufficiency, or malfunction of the kidneys. • Bandaging and Compression• When the patient's limb size reaches a plateau, a custom garment is fit. The pressure of the garment is generally 20-30 mmHg for the UE and 30-40 mmHg for the LE. Garments need replacement every three to six months • Exercise and Elevation. no bP, loose fitting NO TEMPERATURE ABOVE 102 DEGRESS NO EXTREME COLD

Goals & Positioning Neonates (hospital or home):

•facilitate physiologic flexion (the fetal position), •provide "barriers" (end of crib, firm bumpers, sleep sacks, etc.) to push against, •help the child self-regulate (e.g., at least one hand by their mouth to help self-regulate) ,•prevent skin breakdown,•prevent musculoskeletal issues (plagiocephaly, torticollis, etc), •assist with normal development (midline orientation, strength, motor skills, etc).
