A 50 yr old stroke pt with lesion in left posterior superior temporal region presents fluent verbal output, impaired repetition and comprehension. Which type of aphasia does he have?
Conduction
Broca's
Wernicke's
Global
A PT is instructing a stroke pt during ambulation training, PT noted that the pt is doing well since there is lesser errors and overall endurance is improving. The best strategy to promote continued motor learning is:
Continue the patient to perform the activity inside parallel bars until mistakes are all corrected
Continue to provide feedback every walk trials
Have the pt practice walking in different environments
Intervene early whenever errors appears during exercises
An indication for stroke patients where you need to stop performing exercises/PT Mx:
Systolic BP increased by 20 mmHg after exercise
Diastolic BP increased by 10 mmHg during exercise
Pt complaints of tiredness
Pt. Systolic BP decreased by 30 mmHg after exercise
During examination of a stroke pt, the PT noticed that pt's speech is slow and hesitant, expressions are awkward and two-word productions, but has good comprehension. Pt exhibits:
Non fluent aphasia
Fluent aphasia
Global aphasia
Dysarthria
A patient presents with hemiparesis, where pt demonstrates foot drop during swing phase of the gait. It would be most appropriate to administer FES to the TA and the:
Gastrocnemius
Tibialis posterior
Extensor digitorum longus
Peroneus longus
Your patient is recovering from a right CVA. She tells you she is thirsty and asks you for a can of soda. When you give her the can, and instruct her to open it, she is unable to complete the task. Later after the tx session when she is alone, you observe her drinking from the can. You suspect she may have a primary deficit in:
Ideational apraxia
Ideomotor apraxia
somatognosia
unilateral neglect
The most appropriate immediate technique to incorporate into treatment that will assist with standing is:
tilt table with progressive vertical positioning
standing in a pool
using a standing table
standing in parallel bars with increasing time intervals
The patient with left hemiplegia would be least likely to respond in therapy if the motor learning strategies emphasized:
maximum use of verbal cues
maximum use of demonstration and gesture
encouragement of the patient to slow down
simplification/restructuring of the environment including removal of all clutter
