Slide 5 Physical Therapy & Patient-Centered Care

“has yet to adopt and integrate the construct [PCC] in research”1(p.120)

& clarify its definition in practice

Outcome studies have measures that assess patient perspectives, but

are we really asking, gathering & applying client perspectives in

clinical practice?

I say NO: all custom AFOs tend to look the same & require that a client

buys a shoe half size larger & wider for brace accommodation

1. Addresses lower quarter gait

impairments in detail

2. Provides LE biomechanics

Variety of static positions

Orthopedic tests, procedures &

outcomes

WEAKNESSES

1. No neuromuscular tests, procedures

& outcomes

2. Neglects distal malalignment/

neuromuscular impairments

relationship trunk dyscontrol

/proximal malalignment

3. No resources related to

neuromuscular assessment & txJennifaye V. Brown, PT, PhD, NCS - Ohio University 18

Slide 19 Clinical Conclusion

Literature Answers Question, But Skewed

1. Orthopedic focus

2. Trunk dyscontrol/pelvis and proximal malalignment may be cause of distal foot & ankle problems requiring AFO

3. Interventions for trunk dyscontrol/pelvis & proximal malalignment optimize effectiveness, function & acceptance of AFO

What is missing…..

1. Assessment of neuromuscular components as primary factors

2. Consider other contributing systems

3. Consider comorbidities, SDOH & PCC approach 19

Slide 25 Primary Functions of the Foot7-8

I. Mobile Adapter: LRMSt

A. Adapt to ground surface

B. Facilitate shock absorption

STJ pronated - allows foot mobility, which s MTJ motion, allowing adaptation to different surfaces, therefore mobile adaptor

II. Rigid Base for Propulsion During Gait: TStPSw

For propulsion, STJ is supinated & MTJbecomes rigid

-HOW?

1. Bone Congruency

2. Capsular Tension

3. Muscle Mechanics

STJ=Subtalar Jt MTJ= Midtarsal Jt

Slide 37 Force Control:

Generate Movement in Different Postures

Hislop & Montgomery11

With CNS lesion, innervations to mm not impaired but control of mm impaired

“MMT was (and is) designed to evaluate patients with a lower motor neuron disorder manifested by flaccid weakness or paralysis”11(p.344)

Authors suggest Upright Motor Control Test12 for individuals with Selective Control or Pattern Motion

Selective Control: move a single jt without activating mov’t in adjacent or neighboring jt of same extremity11(p.344)

Pattern Motion: inability to perform fractionated mov’t e.g. wrist extension w/o mov’t at elbow & fingers or knee extension w/o pflx & inversion –stereotypical synergy patterns 11(p.344)

dysfxn & source

2. Identify clients’ ability to control

mm in clinical pattern

3. Differentiate mm stiffness versus

contracture

Slide 45 Tone Definition & Concepts:Definition: “…the resistance or ‘stiffness’ in a limb to passive movement” 18

Continuum: flaccidity ↔ hypotonia ↔ normal ↔ spasticity ↔ rigidity15 (p.110)

Flaccidity: complete loss of mm tone15 (p.110)

Hypotonicity: reduction in stiffness of mm to lengthening – spinocerebellar

lesions15 (p.113)

Hypertonia: increase in mm tone compared to normal; manifested as

spasticity or rigidity; based on the clinical presentation & origin15

Rigidity: extrapyramidal tract pathology (basal ganglia & midbrain nuclei); ↑d tone in opposing mm groups on both sides of the limb and it is not

velocity dependent15

Slide 46 Tone Assessment19

Varies in clinical practice: concept of tone vs spasticity

Modified Ashworth Scale19 Supine, but alter position to get mm/pt to relax;

assess available ROM; passively move joint so that mm moves from a

shorten to lengthen position

Score Description

0 No increase in mm tone

1 Slight ↑ in mm tone, manifested by a catch & release or minimal resistance @ the end

ROM when affected part moved in flexion or extension/abduction or adduction, etc.20(p.24)

1+ Slight ↑ in mm tone manifested by a catch f/b minimal resistance through the

remainder (less than half) of the ROM

2 More marked ↑ mm tone through most of the ROM, but affected part(s) easily moved

3 Considerable ↑ in mm tone, passive movement difficult

4 Affected part(s) rigid in flex or ext (abd or add, etc.) 20(p.24)

Fractionated movement deficit (did not display isolated movements-

synergistic patterns severe motor deficits)

Prognosis: for “normal” movement unlikely

Focus: postural stability when performing compensatory movement

strategies and during overall functional activities such as transfers

and gait

Stiffness of involved limbs & slow

No dissociation of mov’t, 1-2 jts

Associated reactions in attempt to move

Less A-G mov’t, may be unable to stand

Gait: compensatory strategies associated w/ ext synergy of LE; however

stands w/ hip & knee flex

UE hand closure; limited reach range

Postural control: able to sit but asymmetrical

Stability may improve with practice but not symmetry63Jennifaye V. Brown, PT, PhD, NCS - Ohio University

Slide 64 Synergistic Patterns

Damage at or above red nucleus,

impacting input to the rubrospinal

tract (corticorubrospinal tract)32

Spasticity & variations in tone

hallmark signs of lesion in subcortical

region32-33

Gait w/ extensor synergy pattern;

foot PF; difficulty clearing swing;

compensate: pelvic hike,

circumduction

Slide 65 What questions do we want to ask….

1. Do you have a brace?

2. How is it helpful?

3. How is it limiting?

4. What is your perception of your walking?

a. Slow vs fast?

b. Quality of how your body moves?

5. Have you had any falls? If yes….

a. When was the last fall

b. What were you doing?

6. Do you get out of the house a lot?

Slide 66 What questions do we want to ask….

1. Tell me about your home environment; community

2. Who and how is your support system? CG, friends visit

3. What do you do for exercise?

4. What do you do for fun/enjoyment?

5. What are your goals for walking?

6. Are these the shoes you typically wear with the brace?

7. What shoes did you typically wear prior to the stroke?

8. Did you bring them with you?Jennifaye V. Brown, PT, PhD, NCS - Ohio University 66

Slide 67 Outcome Measures

10 MWT: unable

TUG: 26 sec

10’ Walk Test: 14.8 sec

Assessed gait with platform rw to

spd of gait - impacts gait quality

What gait impairments would you

suspect during:

1. swing phase

2. stance phase

1. Tone: MAS (3 quads & pflx); King’s

Hypertonicity Scale; Tone

Assessment Scale

2. Spasticity: (+)

3. Fxnl Mobility Assessment:

5x STS: 42 secs requiring

use of RUE; leans to R

4. Observe shoe for wear & tear; look

at WB surface inner sole

Slide 68 Outcome Measures

5. ROM:

Knee ext: R1: -15 & R2: -5

Knee flex 90: R1: -5 & R2: -3

6. MTH: great toe upgoing; 1st ray pflx; 2-5 ext at MTH & PIP & DIP flex

7. Foot & Ankle Assessment: rockers (absent); Babinski (+); pathological reflexes

(+ inversion response); compensatory motion due to lack of dflx (forefoot

contact at IC; lateral heel whip at TSt w/ early heel rise)

8. Pain: sharp - 4/10 midstance at infrapatellar & general knee ache at rest

Slide 69 AFO Recommendations

To provide security, stability & control w/o interfering too much with movement at the foot & ankle.

To meet the functional requirements of the client with minimal restriction

Goal of an AFO (Barber, CPO)
