Answer 1

Question 2

What are the 2 technologies available?

Answer 2

1. In the market
2. In workplace
   
   • what can/cannot be used
   • technical support available

Question 3

What are the 2 locations of intervention?

Answer 3

1. In-home
2. Other centre
   
   • Community centre; regional /remote hospital (has equipment but might not have physio); tertiary hospital (second option)

Question 4

What is task analysis?

Answer 4

tasks to be undertaken in session

Question 5

What are the 3 features of task analysis?

Answer 5

1. Type of client-clinician interaction
   
   • Synchronous
   • Asynchronous
2. Stimuli needed
3. Responses required from client

Question 6

What is a reason to need to consider all task possible over course of intervention?

Answer 6

Easier to determine for well-defined treatment protocols

Question 7

What are 2 characteristics of being as widely inclusive as possible when selecting technology?

Answer 7

1. Consider both assessment and treatment session tasks & in-home practice tasks
2. How do you want to monitor in-home practice & progress over time

Question 8

What are the 5 basic steps for task analysis?

Answer 8

STEP 1:

• Create task analysis table

STEP 2:

• List all possible tasks- Examples of different tasks: Observation Palpation ROM

STEP 3:

• For each task indicate:
  
  • Type of interaction with client – real-time VC, email etc
• Stimuli to be used – text, images etc
  
  • Need to see them doing or can see a photo of themgo from lost cost and invasiveness to highest cost and invasiveness (simple to most complex)
• Client response required

STEP 4:

• Determine technical functionality required for each task
• Audio recording for feedback, whiteboard interaction to display images, text, or drawing, & video demonstrations

STEP 5:

• Match technology requirements against clinically available technology

Question 9

What is step 1 in task analysis?

Answer 9

Create task analysis table

Question 10

What is step 2 in task analysis?

Answer 10

List all possible tasks Examples of different tasks: Observation Palpation ROM

Question 11

What is step 3 in task analysis?

Answer 11

For each task indicate:

• Type of interaction with client – real-time VC, email etc-
• Stimuli to be used – text, images etc
  
  • Need to see them doing or can see a photo of them )go from lost cost and invasiveness to highest cost and invasiveness (simple to most complex)
• Client response required

Question 12

What is step 4 in task analysis?

Answer 12

• Determine technical functionality required for each task
• Audio recording for feedback, whiteboard interaction to display images, text, or drawing, & video demonstrations

Question 13

What are 7 key assessments that need to be performed face to face?

Answer 13

1. Lack and lag
2. Muscle strength/ROM
3. Gait
4. Swelling
5. Observation and palpation
6. Wound
7. DVT (calf) ○ Stretch calf (forced dorsiflexion) Palpation (clotting)

Question 14

What are the key aims of treatment?

Answer 14

• Gait quality with mobility aid
• Education
• Gait
• Pain
• Management of swelling
• ROM exercises
• Stairs Progression of exercises (quite quickly)
• ROM and strength = important
• Change in walking aids

Question 15

What is an example of TKR?

Answer 15

Question 16

What is an example of a musculoskeletal examination?

Answer 16

Question 17

What is step 5 of task analysis?

Answer 17

Match technology requirements against clinically available technology

Question 18

• 74yr old patient
• Discharged from Rehabilitation
• Minor stroke 2 weeks prior
• Minor issues with balance, generally poor strength and CV fitness
• Lives at home with partner in second floor apartment

Answer 18

What should be assessed immediate –> until discharge Balance CV (HR, blood pressure monitoring)
