Introduction[edit | edit source]
Physiotherapy assessment of spinal cord injury is "the vision of the possibilities patient could attain in the perfect situation, and adapt it to the specific person's world".[1]
The description of health can be found in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). It offers a standard language to be used among health providers to describe healths-related state.[2] The use of ICF facilitates communication and understanding of team roles within a spinal cord injury multidisciplinary team. It challenges clinicians to think holistically. [3][4]The following components of health condition are included in the ICF: body functions and structures, activities, participation, environmental factors, personal factors.
The goal of the assessment is to collect information about disordered movement patterns, underlying impairments, activity restrictions, and societal participation and to identify the structural or functional mechanisms influencing the improvement for the purpose of intervention planning. [5][6][2]The assessment should be ongoing to tailor-make treatment plan based on observed changes in patient's function and behaviour.
Subjective Assessment[edit | edit source]
Body functions and structures[edit | edit source]
In this section physiotherapist asks questions and review medical record seeking information on current and past medical history, including:
- mechanism of injury: traumatic vs. non-traumatic
- presence or history of other injuries related to the primary reason for assessment
- medical management and current precautions
- progression of the condition
- pre-morbid medical history
- presence of complications related to the spinal cord injury, including myocitis ossificans, syringomyelia, spasticity, pressure sores, autonomic dysreflexia, infections, postural hypotension
Activities[edit | edit source]
special equipment facilitation or restricting mobility: Nasal Gastric Tube, suctioning machine, ventilator dependent or assisted
technology: assistive device, wheelchair with special components allowing mobility,
