STS scenario 3

• Overuse of one side during sit to stand – learnt non-use of opposite side:

  • Main Analysis Findings
  • unilateral muscle weakness
  • reduced symmetry and weightbearing of feet in front view
  • lack of symmetry of head staying in the middle and shoulders not moving at the same time in back view
• Overuse of one side during sit to stand – learnt non-use of opposite side:

  • Further tests/investigations you would like to do
  • muscle strength test
  • feet proprioception test - reduced sensation of feet?
• Overuse of one side during sit to stand – learnt non-use of opposite side:

  • A suitable outcome measure:
  • berg balance scale
  • muscle strength
  • feet proprioception
• Overuse of one side during sit to stand – learnt non-use of opposite side:

  • Justification for selection of treatment
  • sit to stand only using unaffected - start from high elevation chair to reduce amount of work requires - can use safety bar to help at the start
  • strengthen muscles
• Overuse of one side during sit to stand – learnt non-use of opposite side:

  • Justification of approaches to facilitated learning
  • refer to STS scenario 1
• Overuse of one side during sit to stand – learnt non-use of opposite side:

  • progression
  • decrease height of chair
  • remove bars so cant use upper limbs to stabilise
• Overuse of one side during sit to stand – learnt non-use of opposite side:

  • Main Analysis Findings
  • unilateral muscle weakness
  • reduced symmetry and weightbearing of feet in front view
  • lack of symmetry of head staying in the middle and shoulders not moving at the same time in back view
