CVA

  1. Patients with lesions in this hemisphere are slow, cautious, hesitant, and insecure with contralateral hemiplegia. Aphasia
    Left hemisphere lesion
  2. Patients with this side lesion are impulsive, quick, indifferent, have poor judgement and safety awareness. Overestimate abilities and underestate their problems. Perceptual deficits
    Right hemisphere lesion
  3. What are the stages of CVA recovery?
    • Flaccidity
    • Spasticity, synergies
    • Voluntary movements in synergy
    • Voluntary control w/ decreased spasticity and synergies
    • Increasing voluntary control out of synergy
    • Control and coord near normal
  4. Most affected artery with CVA's?
    • MCA: middle cerebral artery
    • ACA: anterior cerebral artery
  5. Left hemi treatment for learning
    • Develope appropriate communication base
    • Frequent feedback and support
  6. Right hemi treatment for learning
    • Verbal cues
    • Frequent feedback to slow down
    • Focus on SAFETY
    • Avoid clutter
  7. Which artery is affected?:
    Contralat hemiplegia mostly of UE's
    Homonymous hemianopsia
