NBCOT. Therapied 4 (coping
mechanisms, CRPS, brachial plexus,
myasthenia gravis)
denial - answer intense avoidance
projections - answer displacement of unacceptable feelings
regression - answer behavior reflects earlier stages/levels of development
what type of dysfunction is complex regional pain syndrome? - answer vasomotor
what is the preferred modality for CRPS? - answer Contrast baths
why are contrast baths good for CRPS? - answer they facilitate the opening and closing
of the vascular and lymphatic vessels
what does initial treatment of CRPS focus on? - answer reduction of pain and edema
then treatment progresses to address functional movement
what are options other than contrast baths that may be good for CRPS? - answercold
packs, retrograde massage, Coban wraps, desensitization, maybe TENS, but it could
be too painful initially
CRPS Type 1 is secondary to - answernoxious event
CRPS Type II develops - answerafter a nerve injury
symptoms of CRPS - answerpitting edema
blotchy, shiny skin
skin can be red or blue
severe pain
stiffness and extreme temperature changes
CRPS interventions to avoid or proceed with EXTREME caution - answerPROM,
passive stretching, joint mobilization, dynamic splinting and casting
CRPS OT interventions - answermodalities, edema management (elevation, manual
edema mobilization, compression glove), AROM to involved parts, stress load (wb and
joint distraction activities including scrubbing and carrying activities) splinting to prevent
contractures, self-management
