Precautions for Postural Drainage
100

Defined as a preventable and treatable disease. Characterized by airflow limitation caused by chronic inflammation of the small airways and air spaces in response to significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. Mucociliary dysfunction is also a characteristic of the disease. 

What is COPD?

100

Laterally flex head and neck to same side

Rotate head and neck to opposite side

Bilateral: flex neck and elevate ribcage during inhalation

What is SCM?

100

Albuterol (Ventolin)

What is rescue?

100

Assistive devices can be used. Individuals can rest as needed, although the timer does not stop. This is a self-selected walking speed that has a good correlation to the performance of ADLs. 

What is the 6-minute walk test

100

Congestive heart failure, hypertension

 What is circulatory?

200

A chronic disease affecting the body's excretory glands.  Secretions made by these glands are thicker and more viscous than usual. 

What is Cystic Fibrosis?

200

Laterally flex head and neck to same side

Rotate head and neck to opposite side

Elevate and Upwardly rotate scapula

Bilateral: extend head and neck

What is the upper trapezius?

200

Montelukast (Singulair)

What is blocks allergic reaction?

200

Walking speed is measured by a walking course that has a 5-m acceleration leg, a 10-m timed leg, and a 5-m deceleration leg 

What is Gait speed?

200

Arthritis, recent rib fracture, shoulder bursitis or tendonitis, any condition that would make appropriate postural drainage positioning uncomfortable 

What is musculoskeletal?

300

A common chronic pulmonary disease. A disease of variable expiratory airflow limitation with symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and cough.  Characterized by chronic airway inflammation associated with airway hyperresponsiveness to direct or indirect stimuli.

What is Asthma?

300

All Fibers: Adduct, and Internally rotate shoulder

Upper Fibers: Flex and Horizontally adduct shoulder

Lower Fibers: Extend shoulder

What is Pectoralis major?

300

Fluticasone (Flovent)

What is anti-inflammatory effects?

300

Two cones are set to identify a 10-m walking course. The participant is told to walk between the cones at a walking speed dictated by an audio signal.  The test is finished when the subject is unable to maintain the required speed and fails to complete two consecutive shuttles within the imposed time. 

What is the incremental shuttle walk test?

300

Obesity, abdominal distension, hiatal hernia, nausea, recent food consumption

What is abdominal?

400

Results in difficulty expanding the lungs and a reduction in lung volumes.  As the disease progresses, distal airspaces become fibrosed, making them more resistant to expansion. Consequently, lung volumes are reduced.  Dyspnea with activity and persistent nonproductive cough are classic symptoms.   

What is restrictive lung disease?

400

Draw ribs superiorly (inhalation)

What are external intercostals?

400

Salmeterol (Serevent)

What is Bronchodilation?

400

A self-administered 24-item questionnaire covering three domains of functional impairment, magnitude of task, and magnitude of effort.

What is the Baseline Dyspnea Index?

400

Pulmonary edema, shortness of breath made worse with Trendelenburg position

What is pulmonary?

500

Respiratory infection contained within the interstitial compartment, which leads to diffuse interstitial-based abnormalities such as impaired diffusing capacity.  Patients present with alterations in lung function, exercise capacity, and symptoms similar to those of individuals with interstitial lung disease.

What is COVID-19?

500

Depress, Abduct, and Downwardly rotate the scapula

What is Pectoralis Minor?

500

Dornase alfa (Pulmozyme)

What is thins secretions?

500

A self-administered questionnaire of 50 items regarding three domains, symptomatology, activity, and impact.

What is the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire?

500

Vascular
