As a Doctor of PT, I’m used to making written workout program for my patients. But with this recent pandemic, I started making them a Daily Mental Health program to help them cope with their isolation, depression and anxiety @APTA_Geriatrics @HomeHealthAPTA #MentalHealthMatters

[Johns Hopkins Activity & Mobility Promotion (AMP) @HopkinsAMP]

While #WHO guidelines for #COVID encourage #mobility the reality is many patients with moderate and severe cases are so sick they refuse. Having skills to engagement patients in their #healthcare is essential to #everyBODYmoves and recovery.

[Johns Hopkins Activity & Mobility Promotion (AMP) @HopkinsAMP]

Early mobility essential for #COVID-19. Increased barriers for #everyBODYmoves in the #hospital #SNF due to time, PPE, isolation. Post these references as reminders. More on the way. If you wish to co-brand contact [email protected] #icurehab ⁦@RehabHopkins⁩ #nurses

ICU Acquired Weakness: Review https://t.co/Ly8zA3tL7S #icurehab

[Kyle Ridgeway @Dr_Ridge_DPT]

We mobilized our first two #COVID #COVIDー19 patients while vented

Not able until day 8-9

Both likely ICU acquired weakness

Two thoughts
timeframes prolonged in these folks. “Early” mobility/PT isn’t about time it’s about timing

play the long game, rehab will be lengthy

10-day bed rest leads to 7% reduction in muscle mass.

With many #olderadults confined to their rooms these days, what can we do to prevent atrophy?

And when the crisis is over, are we prepared to care for a population that is significantly weaker, less fxn'al, & more frail?

In these unprecedented times combating the immobility harm is essential in the #Hospital as a care priority!! With more patient isolation, no visitors and stretched resources we have faith you can creatively make sure #everyBODYmoves. Let’s take on #COVIDー19

[Johns Hopkins Activity & Mobility Promotion (AMP) @HopkinsAMP]

The 6-clicks AM-PAC short form is a widely used #functionalmeasurement tool, but it can cause a floor effect when used on low-function patients. The #HopkinsAMP team addressed this issue by developing 2 new items to add to the AM-PAC IMSF. #everyBODYmoves https://t.co/iy9j1EME2A

Pupillometry to detect delirium in 100 sedated ICU patients: compared to non-delirious patients, a reduced pupillary light reflex was associated with higher risk of delirium, but OR 1.057 [1.007-1.113]

My pt’s wife told me that her nurse asked which PT helped her husband, and she replied “I can’t remember her name, but she has cute glasses and wears flowy pants.” The nurse replied, “I know who that is, that’s Raquel!” Yes, that’s my identity now! 🤓

PT is a doctoral profession, not a technical one. If you merely want to learn protocols/algorithms, that era of PT is gone. If you ALSO want to know 'why', can deal with the "gray", and are open to reflective practice, you can become a highly-valued physical therapist. @APTAcsm
