Neuromuscular Conditions - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Limit atrophy of muscles and surrounding tissues
      - Maintain R.O.M of arm and neck
      - Cold packs following rehab session
      - Correct/manage causative factors: Poor posture, workstation set up, scoliosis , education on lifting techniques.
      - Preventative rehabilitation for athletes: Tackling, strengthening, proprioception, muscle reaction time, education.
    - - Stage 1: stretching, gentle movement, hydrotherapy
      - Stage 2: Progress ROM, stretching, aerobic exercise, start strengthening: limit guarding postures, gradually increase intensity.
      - Stage 3: strengthening and conditioning: high repetition exercises for global strengthening. Functional activities. At least 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercises 2-3 times per week and 30 minutes of strength and flexibility stretching 3 times per week.
      - Stage 4: return to activity: Full pain free ROM. Restoration of adequate muscular strength and endurance and control to prevent reinjury.
      - Stage 5: Maintenance
- - - - Hypoglycaemia unawareness (cause shakiness, sweating and incr HR)
      - Loss of toe, foot or leg: nerve damage results in loss of feeling, minor cuts can turn into sores or ulcers.
      - UTIs and urinary incontinence
      - Sharp drops in BP – dizziness when standing
      - Digestive problems
      - Increased or decreased sweating
      - Changes in vision.
    - - Hydration before and after ex
      - Monitor hypoglycemic events
      - Foot care
  - - - Numbness
      - Shock
      - Pain or tingling radiating into forearm
      - Weakness
      - Dropping objects
    - - stretching and strengthening

      - Numbness, tingling, burning, sensation in hands and feet
      - Discomfort pain in hands/ feet
      - Scoliosis
    - - Physical therapy: strengthen and stretch muscles to delay disability caused by weakness and deformity.
      - Orthopaedic devices: ankle braces, thumb splints.
      - Pain medicines
      - Surgery: to manage severe deformities of the spine, feet or other joints
  - - - Weakness and tingling in hands and feet
      - Loss of all deep tendon reflexes.
      - Fatigue and pain.
    - - Plasmapheresis- procedure that removes the plasma and replace w/ other fluids.
      - Pain medications
      - Physical therapy to incr muscle flexibility and strength
