injury.Complete dissection of the spinal cord and its neurochemical
pathways.
◍ degree of injury: incomplete.
Answer: results in mixed loss of voluntary motor activity and sensation and
leaves some tracts intact
◍ identifying a patient's impairments, activity limitations, and participation
restrictions; and determining appropriate intervention.
Answer: examination

Answer: analyze difference between patient's performance and "typical" or
expected performance (ex. transfers)
◍ data from initial examination is organized and analyzed.
Answer: evaluation
◍ in evaluation, a clinician identifies and prioritizes the patient's:.
Answer: - impairments- activity limitations- participation restrictions-
contextual factors- personal factors
◍ PT diagnosis typically includes what parts of the ICF.
Answer: - level of impairment- activity limitation- participation restriction
◍ What type of airways can be used for spinal cord airway management?.
Answer: Oral and nasal airways
◍ predicted optimal level of improvement in function and amount of time
needed to reach level.
Answer: prognosis
◍ compare patient's habitual performance (what pt currently does) to highest
level patient is capable (what pt could potentially do).
Answer: prognosis
◍ What procedure may be necessary for airway management in severe cases?.
Answer: Tracheostomy
◍ What should be done if a patient is not breathing?.
Answer: Bag until intubated and on ventilator
◍ overall prognosis/rehabilitation potential could be rated as?.
