@KPalombaro Got to see my CI work with an OT to transfer a NWB pt with femur fx from her bed to her WC using a transfer board #headknowledge

@KPalombaro Last day at Stinson. Residents were notified and are excited for the raffle next week #PT772

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro Saw some crossover between multisystem and clinical with a patient with tachycardia. Constantly monitor vitals #ahamoment

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro CI informed me that sometimes you have to finagle your way into a pt's home if they aren't up for PT that day #expertvnovice

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro Pt educated to use rolling walker around her house even though pt thought she was (I) for ambulation #narrativereasoning

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro It takes awhile for the prosthesis to settle in the cement used in the surgery and for the muscles around the joint to relax.

@KPalombaro Clinic 1B*

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro First day of clinic 2, I learned that pts s/p THA may have a leg length discrepancy before prosthesis settles in #headknowledge

Practicing in multiple states may get a lot easier https://t.co/J7aIhwkwQP

@KPalombaro At my final clinical, I was educated about and performed T-spine PA mobs to a pt s/p concussion #headknowledge

@KPalombaro Good day at Stinson for CHP. We turned a resident's entire day around through exercise! #PT772

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro Witnessed an eval for C and L spine and learned how to organize it so pt does not have to change positions often #headknowledge

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro CI adapted POC b/c pt c L-spine stenosis presented c flexion as opposed to extension preference #narrativereasoning

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro #novicevexpert

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro Bubble goni L-spine flex measurement was slightly off, so CI corrected my technique for more accurate measurement #expertvnovice

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@KPalombaro Great first CHP at Stinson. We had a big turnout, and I got to lead my first exercise session! #PT772

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

2nd clinical - Increasing ROM and decreasing pain by 2 points is an indication to add a Rx to a pt's plan #narrativereasoning @KPalombaro

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

@WUPT724 @KPalombaro

[Tyler Suruskie @tysuruskie]

1st clinical today. Measured AROM and learned some tricks of the trade to make these measurements more smooth @WUPT724 #headknowledge
