Signs and symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.

Restarting my tumblr with:

The first 2 paragraphs of my Cardiopulmonary (Pediatrics) Physiotherapy.

Lance Armstrong (2000) once mentioned, “Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place.” While pain can be temporary, I cannot fully agree with him, as the quote seemed to suggest that pain naturally subsides without intervention. In this essay, I will describe the various non-pharmacological methods of pain management, specifically in a critically ill paediatric patient.

In 1979, the International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as an “unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage”. This means that pain is subjective and is formed through experiences related to injury in early life.

There is a Physical Therapist getting someone out of bed, strengthening their legs, teaching them how to walk again, work again, run again…live life again. They don’t always get the thanks that they deserve, they don’t have parades for them, no TV shows about them… but they wake up the next day and are glad to do it all over again anyway…
“Doctors give life to the patient’s but WE PHYSIOTHERAPISTS give MEANING TO THEIR LIVES”!!

Repost if you are or appreciate a Physical Therapist….!

Board Paddling Skills and Techniques

The knee paddling stroke can be broken down into five phases - reach, catch, pull, release, recovery.

The Reach

Board reach diagram

  • Reach out and take a full stroke.
  • The arms should extend to the maximum.
  • Look forward and keep the head and chest close to the hoard, your butt should be up.

Common Errors:

  • Not fully extending arms
  • Keeping head and chest too high.
  • Looking down instead of forward.
  • Sitting back with your butt on your legs.

The Catch

Board catch diagram

  • There should be a feeling that your hands have caught something solid as they enter the water and you are pulling the board over it.
  • Propulsive force on the hands should go from zero to maximum load instantly.
  • Keep your hands relaxed and you should feel the water on your fingertips.

Common Errors:

  • Maximum power is not applied.
  • You don’t feel the solid grip of the water on your hands.

The Pull

Board pull diagram

  • The hands are driven deep and the arms are buried up to the elbow.
  • Maintain an even pressure with maximum power.
  • The hands should travel parallel to the centerline of the board.
  • Chin and chest remain close to the board with your butt up.
  • Do not lift or throw the water.

Common Errors:

  • Not burying arms deep enough.
  • Allowing the head and shoulders to move up and down. This causes the board to hobby horse and slows you down.
  • Hands not traveling parallel to the centerline of the board.
  • Not taking a full stroke.

The Exit

Board exit diagram

  • Do not lift or throw water back as it wastes energy.
  • The exit should be quick and smooth to eliminate any drag.

Common Errors:

  • Throwing or lifting water
  • Hand exit is not smooth and quick.

The Recovery

Board recovery diagram

  • The elbow is bent and high.
  • The hands are close to the surface of the water and close to the board.
  • The hands are relaxed and they move straight forward.
  • Look straight forward and keep the head and shoulders close to the board.
  • This keeps the board on a smooth even glide.
  • Keep your movements relaxes, easy and smooth.
  • The best way to check an efficient recovery is from head on.
  • The hands should travel a straight line.
  • This is the shortest most relaxed route.

Common Errors:

  • Elbows are not bent.
  • Hands and arms travel to the side or up instead of straight forward.
  • Looking down at the board instead of straight forward.
  • Shoulders, arms and hands are not relaxed
  • Duration of recovery is too long.
  • Head and shoulders are lifted causing the board to rock nose to tail.

sgphysio2: diagnostics: Cervical spondylosis is a disorder in which there is abnormal wear on the cervical vertebrae.  It is caused by a degeneration of the vertebrae.  This can cause the bones to press down on the spinal roots, which can result in pain and discomfort.  Most individuals show signs of this disorder by age 60. This is a disorder that I will expect to see a lot in the physiotherapy setting, perhaps referred for management of pain and stiffness. I’d expect muscle tightness as well, on which stretches should be taught. However I think the most important thing would be strategies to cope with the disorder and how not to let it deterioriate, of which an important thing to take note of is posture. It’s always posture.
