Disorders and General Intervention Considerations for PEDS

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Disorder
Signs/Symptoms
Interventions
Definition/example
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Immobilize with a cast or splint.   keeping the involved area in proper alignment  
🗑
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Instruct in proper positioning to reduce edema or swelling.   Elevating the involved/inflamed area to increase flow of body fluids back to the trunk  
🗑
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Compensation   Helps child engage in occupations through changing the way or techniques used to participate.  
🗑
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Modification/adaptation   Helps child participate in occupations by changing how the activities are performed.  
🗑
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Emotional/psychosocial   Addresses emotional/psychosocial issues associated with disorders. Children may need to work on developing a positive self-concept, body awareness, and sense of control.  
🗑
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Social participation   Promotes social participation in children.  
🗑
Neuromuscular Disorders   loss of consciousness, lethargy, vomiting, irritability, processing, memory loss, comm/interaction impairments, slurred and/or slowed speech, word-finding problems, severe headache, confusion. Motor: loss of balance, abn. muscle tone, weakness   Preparatory Activities   Prepare child for act. by making them ready to interact w/environment. "Normalize" sensory awareness/response & muscle tone. Child participates in sensory games, rubbing arms w/diff. textures, awareness act.  
🗑
Neuromuscular Disorders   Motor: loss of balance, abn. muscle tone, weakness   Enabling Activities   Build up skills needed for engagement in occupations (arm strength, visual attention, memory). Ex: weight-bearing & shifting act & development of arm strength through repetitive act (weight training, lifting plates, picking up laundry).  
🗑
Neuromuscular Disorders   Motor: loss of balance, abn. muscle tone, weakness   Purposeful Activities and occupations   Facilitates performing the actual occupation or act in an environment closest to the natural one. Ex: unbuttoning shirt in prep for shower and preparing lunch at the clinic.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Behavior management programs   Programs to promote appropraite daily actions by identifying target behaviors, establishing positive reinforcers, & implementing a behavioral plan/follow-up w/data collection.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Structured environment   Sets up clear routines w/consistency to allow child to understand/practice daily occupations.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Total communication approach   Uses a variety of systems to relate to child, such as communication board, sign/verbal language, pointing/gesturing, facilitative communication.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   SI intervention   Uses suspended equipment to provide a controlled sensory input so that the child can make an adaptive response. SI theory postulates that this will help with CNS development.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Practice occupations   Repeat skills/occupations such as using bkwrd/fwd chaining. Children learn through repetition.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Teach/Repeat   Simplify occupations to allow child to participate/increase ability to reach milestones.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Education   Teaches child how to perform occupations. Educates parents, teachers, others about child's condition/tech's to support child's occupations.  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Promote interests   Provides novelty to promote interests and exploration  
🗑
Developmental Disorders   Delays: motor processing, comm./interaction skills. Impaired body fxs, limited repertoire of behavior, stereotypical behaviors, decreased attention to purposeful acts/occ. Not reaching milestones. Infants showing decreased exploration/interest in environ   Emotional/psychosocial issues   Address child's self-concept, self-awareness, body awareness by providing opportunities for exploration/success.  
🗑
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Promote proper joint alignment   Through static/dynamic splints or othotic devices, facilitates the typical alignment of muscles/joints.  
🗑
Musculoskeletal Disorders   Misalignment of joints, swelling, pain, warmth to touch, Immobility, discoloration (red/blue/whiteness)   Apply modalities such as ice or moist heat.   Placing a moist heat pack or ice pack on the inflamed area.  
🗑
