CVA & Neuroanatomy
In the FAST/BEFAST acronym used for rapid stroke identification, the 'F' stands for this clinical observation.
Facial droop
On the ASIA Impairment Scale, this grade represents a complete injury with no sensory or motor function preserved in the sacral segments S4-S5.
ASIA A
Medicare Part A covers services including hospice and inpatient hospital care, but specifically excludes this.
Custodial or long-term care
In this practice setting, the primary goals are spine and medical stability, with an average length of stay around 11 days.
Acute care
Rheumatoid Arthritis is primarily defined as an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of this specific joint structure.
Synovium
When managing a hemiparetic shoulder in the acute phase, OTs should utilize this specific piece of equipment, especially if subluxation is present.
Shoulder sling
A patient with an SCI at T6 experiencing a pounding headache, anxiety, and hypertension is likely suffering from this life-threatening condition.
Autonomic dysreflexia
The ruling in the case of Jimmo v. Sebelius was significant because it eliminated this specific requirement for Medicare coverage.
Improvement standard
To be admitted to an acute rehabilitation facility, a patient must be able to tolerate this amount of therapy daily.
3 hours
The most common age of onset for individuals diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis falls within this range.
30-60 years
According to evidence-based practice guidelines, this specific intervention is strongly recommended to improve IADL outcomes for stroke survivors.
Contraint-induced movement therapy
To functionally utilize a tenodesis grasp, a patient must possess active motor control of this specific movement.
Wrist extension
The CO modifier is added to a billing code for OT services when this specific scenario occurs during a session.
OTA provided over 10% of the therapeutic service
A service is considered 'not skilled' if it meets this specific criteria, even if an OT is the one performing it.
Performable by an unskilled person
In RA medical management, DMARDs (Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs) are primarily prescribed for this purpose.
Target inflammation
This cerebral artery is the most common site of occlusion in strokes and is part of the brain's anterior circulation.
Middle cerebral artery
This incomplete SCI syndrome is characterized by motor loss and loss of touch/vibration on one side, with loss of pain and temperature on the opposite side.
Brown-Sequard syndrome
Under the IMPACT Act, post-acute care providers are required to report standardized data in categories such as impairments and this.
Any of the following: Functional status, cognitive function, mental status, special services/treatments/interventions, medical conditions and comorbidities
By definition, this individual assists a person with a disability with their physical, mental, or spiritual care in a rehabilitative capacity by mutual agreement.
Care-partner
To manage her RA, the patient 'Mary Ann' used this specific outcome measure to quantify her activity limitations.
Patient Specific Functional Scale - tracked progress on specific goals like cooking and grading papers
Occlusion of this specific branch of the left Middle Cerebral Artery typically results in contralateral face and arm weakness along with Broca's aphasia.
Superior cortical branch
A patient may experience respiratory compromise starting at this specific spinal level.
T12
For beneficiaries of Medicare Part B, once the yearly deductible is met, the individual is responsible for this percentage of the approved amount.
20%
In what phase do OTs typically focus on improving strength and increasing independence in IADLs?
The community reintegration phase (3–12 months)
RA can cause systemic changes beyond the joints, including this lung condition.
Pulmonary fibrosis (scarring and stiffening of lung tissue)
