@MaiaUnderhill @TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 Very interesting study, it would be great to continue to apply this concept to a wide variety of patients

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@kerseySPT @TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 Yes, with the decrease in back pain we can hope to increase there overall mobility. since becoming sedentary is a risk factor in pulmonary injury, providing movement will be key

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@RachelWilliSPT @TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 Yes, very true. It is important to take a full patient approach to all those that we treat. And the increase in oxygen will greatly help

@TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 contributes to CHF, and an increase of edema. This article shows some good evidence bwtween mind-body intervetnions and positive outcomes in COPD.

@TimFahrnerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 One intervention that may be overlooked is the psychological aspect of these patients. A pulmonary disorder can be devestating, and leave many homebound. As this occurs, more fluid and difficulty the respirations occur, making the condition worse. Also, the lack of moevment

This article demonstrates the key role PT's have in respiratory health. What interventions can PT's use to improve the quality of life of respiratory patients? #pathnews #group7 @DPTPathophy2018 https://t.co/44yY8IZ7Ld

@amrsalehSPT @DPTPathophy2018 senses the increase in blood pressure and responds with bradycardia. We can help fix this issue, by fixing the blocked catheter, repositioning the patient, or other painful stimuli that cant be sensed by the patient. This article suggests that a card outlining signs and symtoms

@amrsalehSPT @DPTPathophy2018 When monitoring for autonomic dysreflexia, there are signs that we as therapists can be aware of. We must look for high blood pressure, and a decreased heart rate. This is caused by a failed sympathetic response to reach the brain because of the spinal lesion. The vagus nerve

@DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 @NbaileySPT @kerseySPT @carmen_reichle since the muscles were able to take a larger weight-bearing role, taking pressure off of the bone

@DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 @NbaileySPT @kerseySPT @carmen_reichle This is why it is important for patients to seek treatment soon, as a way for preventative therapy. In the article I found, it mentions that while modalities are helpful in reducing pain, those same modalities combined with exercise made a more significant long term impact,

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@DavisTuckerSPT @DPTPathophy2018 @NbaileySPT @kerseySPT @carmen_reichle We know that exercise is a crucial element to the treatment of OA. One of the main issues with this condition is we dont know the extent of the damage before it is too late. Since articular cartilage doesnt have blood or nerve supply, we only notice the pain once it reaches bone

@KPelfrey_SPT @DPTPathophy2018 This article touched onhow UE orthoses can improve the patients quality of life, sometimes one of the few things that can be accomplished since it is a progressive disease. https://t.co/fBdGWpKZa8

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@KPelfrey_SPT @LaurenGreeson @DPTPathophy2018 As PT's, we must be mindful of the struggles that ourpatients face. Since ALS affects motor function and not the cognitive aspects, we must focus our attention on how to keep them physically functional, while providing encouragmentdring the rough patches

@TaylanJadeSPT months versus 12, and 4 months saw much better outcomes. The reasoning behind early intervention is that the body can form new neural pathways, making new connections to make up for the prior loss of function.

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@TaylanJadeSPT As we know, CP can affect a number of different structures and present itself in many different ways, depedning on the injury site. This study speaks on how early intervention and physical therapy is key in order to maintain QOL. They comared children who started treatment at 4

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@HunterGrubbs5 @DPTPathophy2018 Exercise leads to the release of endorphins, stimulating a positive response in the body. Exercise also stimulates many brain centers, including the limbic system, which play on emotion. It makes sense that quality of life would then improve after exercise https://t.co/d1AD74Pu5Q

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@EmillerWSSU @DPTPathophy2018 In addition, specifically for exercise, I found an article that seems to suggest that aerobic exercise is best to prevent the cognitive decline. One reason may be since they will be able to exercise for longer with aerobic.

[beaulaw2 @beaulaw2]

@EmillerWSSU @DPTPathophy2018 Exercise seems to be one of the keys components for the delaying of loss of function. In addition, we can also contribute by providing a social aspect, speaking and communicating with our patients. Lastly, we can recommend nutritional advice for those who need it.
