Resource summary
UL Hand Therapy.
Negative Impairments:
Paralysis
Weakness
Loss of Coordination
Loss of dexterity
positive impairments
Abnormal postures
Exaggerated proprioceptive reflexes - Spasticity
Exaggerated cutaneous reflexes.
Secondary motor impairments Preventable deficits that develop over time
Occur due to
Immobility
inactivity
Changes to postural alignment
- Learned non use - decreased joint range of motion/contractures - shoulder subluxation
Annotations:
t
UL recovery after stroke
3/4 of stroker survivors will have upper limb symptoms after acute stroke
initial severity of UL paresis is a significant predictor of long term outcomes.
Only 50% will regain some functional use of affected UL
UL recovery is viewed by stroke patients as 'critical but neglected issue'.
How do we treat people after stroke
Decrease focus on UL recovery during rehab
Increase initial focus on improving functional mobility
Lack of spontaneous use of UL for function
Complexity of UL function necessitates greater recovery of motor control to achieve function.
Task specific training
Therapy involving intentional practice of a specific movement, action or task.
practice real-life tasks...with the intention of acquiring 7 reacquiring a skill.
tasks should be meaniginful, challenging and progressively adapted to tap into neuroplasticity/revocery mechanisms.
1. Uses clients goals as basis for intervention planning.
2. analyse essential components of a task.
3. use this information to structure task-specific practice of component parts.
4. reassemble into whole task practice.
5. practice, practice and more practice.
Constraint induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
Developed to overcome learned non-use.
Constraint of unaffected hand/arm
Encourages increased practice & use of affected hand/arm
Key Elements of CIMT
1. intensive task-specific trying, practice & repetitions.
2. Shaping, feedback & coaching
3. restraint for 90% of the day
4. transfer package of homework + contract for carryover.
Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT)
Wear constraint for 5/24, 5/7 & 10/52
Shorter practice sessions
Group practice sessions.
Increase self monitoring practice.
Mental Practice
Mentally rehearse a task being practices in therapy.
Visualise the image of performing the task, the movements , the associated sensations.
Can be used to supplement conventional therapy.
Can be used at any stage of recovery.
Mirror therapy
Uses visual feedback about motor performance as a means to enhance upper-limb function following stroke and to reduce pain.
Move non-paretic arm while looking in a mirror
Gives the illusion that both limbs are working normally
