Passive movement performed by the therapist of spinal cord injury patient at CRP

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to find out the passive range of motion as a treatment provided by physiotherapist and occupational therapist.

Objective: To quantify the amount of upper- and lower-extremity movement velocities as a treatment (that is, voluntary movements as part of a functional task or specific motion) occurring during inpatient spinal cord injury (SCI) provided by physical (PT) and occupational therapy (OT).

Methodology: The study was conducted through a cross sectional design to find out passive range of motion of major joints of upper and lower limb of tetra-plegic and paraplegic patients and the study the passive movements mainly study conduct to find out the objectives.

Results: In this research, 45 participants were participated in the study. There were both tetraplegic and paraplegic participants. There were also male and female participants. Every patient or participants have scored on the socio demographic questions. It was an observational study also. So I was present in that session while performing the therapy by the therapist. I had also collected my self-questionnaires answers in that time.

Conclusion: The result of the cross-sectional study has identified that the passive movement velocities which was performed by the therapist both the physiotherapist and the occupational therapist with some exercises of the spinal cord injury patients at CRP.
