UL Hand Therapy.
  1. Negative Impairments:
    1. Paralysis
      1. Weakness
        1. Loss of Coordination
          1. Loss of dexterity
          2. positive impairments
            1. Abnormal postures
              1. Exaggerated proprioceptive reflexes - Spasticity
                1. Exaggerated cutaneous reflexes.
                2. Secondary motor impairments Preventable deficits that develop over time
                  1. Occur due to
                    1. Immobility
                      1. inactivity
                        1. Changes to postural alignment
                          1. - Learned non use - decreased joint range of motion/contractures - shoulder subluxation

                        2. UL recovery after stroke
                          1. 3/4 of stroker survivors will have upper limb symptoms after acute stroke
                            1. initial severity of UL paresis is a significant predictor of long term outcomes.
                              1. Only 50% will regain some functional use of affected UL
                                1. UL recovery is viewed by stroke patients as 'critical but neglected issue'.
                                2. How do we treat people after stroke
                                  1. Decrease focus on UL recovery during rehab
                                    1. Increase initial focus on improving functional mobility
                                      1. Lack of spontaneous use of UL for function
                                        1. Complexity of UL function necessitates greater recovery of motor control to achieve function.
                                        2. Task specific training
                                          1. Therapy involving intentional practice of a specific movement, action or task.
                                            1. practice real-life tasks...with the intention of acquiring 7 reacquiring a skill.
                                              1. tasks should be meaniginful, challenging and progressively adapted to tap into neuroplasticity/revocery mechanisms.
                                                1. 1. Uses clients goals as basis for intervention planning.
                                                  1. 2. analyse essential components of a task.
                                                    1. 3. use this information to structure task-specific practice of component parts.
                                                      1. 4. reassemble into whole task practice.
                                                        1. 5. practice, practice and more practice.
                                                        2. Constraint induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
                                                          1. Developed to overcome learned non-use.
                                                            1. Constraint of unaffected hand/arm
                                                              1. Encourages increased practice & use of affected hand/arm
                                                                1. Key Elements of CIMT

                                                                    1. 2. Shaping, feedback & coaching
                                                                      1. 3. restraint for 90% of the day
                                                                        1. 4. transfer package of homework + contract for carryover.
                                                                      2. Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT)
                                                                        1. Wear constraint for 5/24, 5/7 & 10/52
