INTERVENTION APPROACHES – AN OVERVIEW

1. Remediation 2. Compensatory strategies 1. Enviromental modifications 2. Use of assistive technology devices

Remediation Definition: remediation pertaines to the resolution of functional or structural deficits or the aqusition of new skills in the area of skilled movement, cognition or social function. – usually an ACITVE LEARNING PROCESS Setting a GOAL – remediation strategy (e.g. operant conditioning, etc.) Learning process (Snel): aquisition maintenance „Scaffolding” fluency generalization

Remediation strategies cont.

Restoration of self-esteem – positive social reinforcement for the patient and the family members - negative reinforcement – avoiding unpleasent experiences and consequences

Remediation strategies cont. Restoration of biological, physiologic or neurologic processes – technics derived from neuroscience, biomechanics, motor control, etc.

Objective: to recover sufficient perception, cognition, voluntary movement to enable task performance in safe and effective manner Combine / alternate with adaptive or /and compensatory approaches

Compensatory strategies 1.

To teach an individual to perform a taskt within his or her capacities – example: conductive education (Pető)

2.

To modify the enviroment to permit accomplishment of the task despite limitations in ability or skills – example: use of systems, devices

3.

To provide an agent or assisting person with task requirements or perform them entirely – example: momchild diad

Enviromental modifications

Enviromental barrier

Personal barrier

Assistive Technology Devices (ATDs) Low-tech Simple, inexpensive devices

High-tech e.g. Remote control

Personal Care Attendance (PCA) Crucial issue is to define the self-care and ADL activities that will require assistance • daily based • regularly based (weekly) • rare tasks

ROLE OF THE PRM SPECIALISTS

European definition of Physical and Rehabilitation Médicine (PRM) This proposal was set up during the General Assembly of Ljubljana (March 2003) and validated in Antalya (October 2003

Specialists in PRM have a holistic approach

to people with acute and chronic conditions, examples of which are

musculo-skeletal and neurological disorders, amputations, pelvic organ dysfunction, cardio-respiratory insufficiency and the disability due to chronic pain and cancer.

Medical tasks in rehabilitation Management

Consultation in acute / intensive care Decision about rehabilitation (need / time / type ) Leading the team Managing the care of patients Home care / rehabilitation: eligibility, prescriptions, advice

Pharmacotherapy • • • •

Spasticity control Pain management Treatment of depression, epilepsy, mood disorders Continuation of previous medications (MD, hypertonia, arrythmia, etc.)

Medical tasks in rehabilitation • Surgical interventions • Corrective surgery (amputations, deformities, etc.) • Pain releif (PAO, revision of amputees, etc.) • Reconstructive sugery

• Other • Manual therapy • Nutrition / special feeding technics • Prescription of assistive technology devices, orthoses and protheses

Special problems 1. Spasticity and pain management 2. Continence 3. Immobility syndrome (pressure sores, contractures, PAO, osteoporosis, etc.) 4. Eating and swallowing disorders (malnutrition) 5. Behavioral and mood disorders, complience problems

Treatment of spasticity physiotherapy p.o.pharmacot.

Pain control • Analgetic drugs – baseline pain control • Paracetamol / non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, tramadol, slow-release narcotics, etc.

TENS (transcutan electric nerve stimulation) Distraction Aromatherapy Relaxation technics Reinforcement and coping strategies Virtual realty therapy Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Immobility syndrome Involved body structures and functions • Central nervous system (CNS) • Cardiovascular system • Respiratory system • Gastrointestinal organs • Urinary system • Musculosceletal system • Skin

CNS • • • • • •

Axiety Sleep disorders depression Behavioral problems Mood disorders Intellectual deterorientation EACH ONE INFLUENCES NEGATIVELY THE REHABILITATION PROCESS

Cardiovascular function • Orthostatic hypotension (SCI ! – sitting / standing position) • Tachycardia • Reduced cardiac reserv capacity • Thrombosis or /and embolisation

Gastrointestinal • Loss of apetite • Weight loss • Hypoalimentation / hypoproteinemia / malnutrition • constipation

Respiratory function • Reduced vital capacity and functional vital capacity • Weak expectoration capacity • Pneumonia, brochitis

Urinary system

• Bladder incontinence • Recurrent uro-infections (PERMANENT CATHETER!! / INTERMITTENT) • Bladder-stones • Secondary spastic bladder

continence • Bowel and bladder control – – – – – – – – –

Oral pharmacotherapy Intravesical pharmacotherapy Neuromodulation Electrotherapy Intravesical Physical training (bladder training) Special assistive devices Behavioral therapy Surgical interventions Urodinamical assessment

Musculosceletal system • • • • • •

Weakness /reduces strength in muscles fatigue Muscle atrophy contractures Fibrotic degeneration of muscles osteoporotic – high risk of fractures

Heterotop ossification X-ray / MRI

Skin • Infecions (bacterial, fungal)

Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy Goal: to reach as much independence as possible with people who have functional limitations in everyday life activities Objectives: activities specifically aim at improving personal skills Main activity areas: – Development of motor functions – Training with prostheses – Development of cognitive functions

– ADL activity training – Assistive devices training – Preparations for active life – Social training

Objectives of OT • Improving motor and sensory abilities • Relearn skills in self-directed activities (personal grooming, household activities, etc.) • Teach compensatory stretegies • Use special tools • Changes in home enviroment – safety, barrier-free, facilitate functioning • Apraxia treatment

Example for occupational therapy: feeding /eating problems

Main goals • Feeding (oral) • Independent eating skills with special assistance • Independent eating without assistive devices

Target groups • Adults • Stroke • TBI

• Children • • • • •

Cerebral palsy TBI Other CNS lesions Mental retardation Autism

Special utensils

Other facilities

Communication and speech Speech and language disorders (speech, language, fluency, voice) Communication problems Commonly assotiated disorders: stroke, TBI, MS, CP, other chronic neurological disorders

Speech and language problems after brain injury • Aphasia • Motor • Sensory • mixed

• Dysarthria • Dystonic cerebral palsy

• Mutism

Communication Speech Writing Gestures Sign language Symbols (Bliss) Communation devices
