PEMERIKSAAN SPESIFIK ( FT A / FT B / FT C /FT D / FT E )
Tes ballottement
Tes ini untuk melihat apakah ada cairan di dalam lutut. Pada pemeriksaan posisi tungkai
full ekstensi. Prosedurnya, recessus suprapatellaris di kosongkan dengan
menekannya satu tangan, dan sementara itu dengan jari tangan lainnya patella
ditekan ke bawah. Dalam keadaan normal patella itu tidak dapat ditekan ke
bawah: dia sudah terletak di atas kedua condyli dari femur. Bila ada (banyak)
cairan di dalam lutut, maka patella sepertinya terangkat,
yang memungkinkan adanya sedikit gerakan. Kadang- kadang terasa seolah olah patella
mengetik pada dasar yang keras itu. Pada pemeriksaan ini hasilnya positif.
2)
Tes laci sorong
Tes laci sorong ada dua macam yaitu tes laci sorong ke depan dan tes laci sorong ke
belakang, dimana tes ini dapat dikombinasi dengan berbagai posisi kaki baik
posisi eksorotasi maupun endorotasi. Tes laci sorong ke depan, posisi kaki
eksorotasi
ditujukan
untuk ligamen
cruciatum
anterior
dan
capsul
posteromedial dan dengan posisi kaki endorotasi ditujukan untuk ligamen
cruciatum anterior dan capsul posterolateral. Untuk posisi kaki sedikit
eksorotasi dan endorotasi ditujukan untuk ligamen cruciatum anterior. Tes laci
sorong ke belakang posisi kaki eksorotasi ditujukan untuk ligamen cruciatum
posterior dan capsul posterolateral dan dengan posisi kaki endorotasi
ditujukan untuk
ligamen
cruciatum
posterior
dan
capsul
posteromedial. Untuk posisi kaki sedikit eksorotasi dan
endorotasi ditujukan untuk ligamen cruciatum posterior.
Cara pemeriksaannya adalah pasien berbaring terlentang dengan satu tungkai lurus dan
satu tungkai yang dites dalam keadaan fleksi lutut, dimana telapak kaki masih
menapak pada bidang. Kedua tangan terapis memfiksasi
pada bagian distal sendi lutut kemudian memberikan tarikan dan dorongan. Hasil yang
didapatkan dari pemeriksaan adalah negatif.
3)
Hipermobilitas varus.
Tes ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui stabilitas dari sendi lutut oleh ligamen collateral
lateral. Pada pemeriksaan ini dapat dilakukan dengan cara full ekstensi dan
fleksi 300.
Cara pemeriksaannya adalah pasien berbaring terlentang dengan salah satu tungkai yang
hendak diperiksa berada di luar bed, salah satu tangan terapis berada di sisi
medial sendi lutut dan tangan yang lain berada di sisi luar sendi pergelangan kaki
untuk memberikan tekanan ke arah dalam. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah positif.
4)
Hipermobilitas valgus.
Tes ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui lesi ligamen collateral medial. Cara pemeriksaannya
sama dengan tes hipermobilitas varus hanya saja posisi salah satu tangan terapis
berada di sisi lateral sendi lutut dan tangan yang lain berada di sisi dalam sendi
pergelangan kaki yang berfungsi untuk memberikan tekanan ke arah luar. Hasil
yang diperoleh adalah negatif.

Ketergantungan
a.
1)
Teknologi Fisioterapi :
Teknologi Alternatif :
Teknologi yang Terpilih :
a) IR
Dengan adanya vasodilatasi pembuluh darah maka sirkulasi darah menjadi lancar,
sehingga pemberian nutrisi dan oksigen kepada jaringan akan meningkat, dengan
demikian kadar sel darah putih dan antibodi didalam jaringan tersebut juga
meningkat. Sehingga pemeliharaan jaringan menjadi lebih baik dan perlawanan
terhadap agen penyebab proses radang juga semakin baik dan nyeri menjadi
berkurang.
b) US
2)
Tujuan US adalah menimbulkan efek micromassage karena gerakan dari tranduser,
mengurangi nyeri dan merileksasikan otot.
c) TERAPI LATIHAN
(1) Free active exercise : Tujuan yang dicapai dari latihan ini adalah relaksasi otot yang
mengalami spasme, mempertahankan dan menambah kekuatan otot, melatih
koordinasi gerakan dan menimbulkan kepercayaan penderita terhadap
kemampuan penderita dalam melaksanakan dan mengontrol suatu gerakan
(2) Resisted exercise : Tujuan dari latihan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan LGS.
(3) Hold Relax : Tujuan dari latihan ini adalah mencapai rileksasi dari grup antagonis dan
mendorong gerakan aktif dari grup agonis.

F. PELAKSANAAN FISIOTERAPI :
Hari :
1. Infra Red
a.
Persiapan alat
Perlu dipersiapkan alat beserta kelengkapannya antara lain : lampu, kabel, besarnya watt.
Sebelumnya dilakukan pemanasan selama 5 menit terutama untuk lampu non
luminous.
b.
Persiapan pasien
Penderita diposisikan senyaman mungkin, jaringan yang akan diterapi dibuat tegak lurus
dengan sinar infra red. Bagian tersebut dibersihkan dari keringat dan
diinformasikan kepada pasien bahwa panas yang dirasakan adalah rasa hangat.
Jadi apabila pasien merasakan panas harap memberitahukan kepada terapis.
c.
Pengaturan Dosis
Lampu diletakkan tegak lurus dengan jarak 45-60 cm dengan waktu 15 menit.
2.
Ultrasonic
a.
Persiapan alat
Meliputi cek kabel apakah ada kabel yang dalam keadaan terbuka. Apabila kabel dalam
keadaan terbuka dikhawatirkan akan terjadi burn pada kulit. Kemudian
sambungkan kabel dengan aliran listrik. Hidupkan alat, lakukan cek alat, caranya
continuos, kemudian naikkan intensitas. Apabila air pada tranduser mendidih ini
menandakan US dalam keadaan baik dan siap untuk dipakai dan siapkan media
penghantar berupa gel.
b.
Persiapan pasien
Posisi pasien diatur senyaman mungkin, yaitu pasien diposisikan tidur terlentang di atas
bed, area yang akan diterapi atau lutut kanan bebas dari pakaian dan dilakukan
tes sensibilitas.
Terapis harus menjelaskan tentang tujuan terapi dan rasa yang akan dirasakan selama
terapi.
c.
Pelaksanaan terapi
Sebelum terapi dimulai tentukan waktu terlebih dahulu dengan cara luas area yang akan
diterapi dibagi dengan luas era penampang tranduser (luas area/luas era). Pada
kasus ini luas area yang akan diterapi adalah 24 cm, dan luas penampang
tranducer 3 cm. Sehingga waktu yang digunakan untuk terapi ini adalah 8 menit.
Pelaksanaannya adalah sebagai berikut, area yang diterapi atau lutut kanan
diolesi gel kemudian alat dinyalakan dan diatur waktunya selama 8 menit,
dengan frekuensi 3MHz, arus continues dan intensitas sebesar 2 w/cm².
Transduser digosokkan secara sirkuler pada lutut kanan. Selesai terapi alat
dimatikan kemudian lutut kanan pasien serta transduser dibersihkan dari sisa gel.
3.
Terapi Latihan
Terapi latihan dimulai dari persiapan pasien, posisi sesuai dengan gerakan yang
direncanakan, berikan penjelasan tentang program latihan yang akan
dilakukan, tujuan dan caranya, bila perlu terapis memberikan contoh dahulu,
serta aba-aba harus bisa dipahami pasien.
a.
Free active movement
Posisi pasien
: Duduk ongkang-ongkang di tepi bed
Posisi terapis : Di samping pasien
Pelaksanaan :Pasien disuruh
meluruskan
lututnya kemudian menekuknya kembali
dengan hitungan 1 sampai 8, dengan frekuensi 5 sampai 10 kali pengulangan.
b.
Hold Relax
Posisi Pasien
: Tidur tengkurap di bed
Posisi terapis : Di samping pasien
Pelaksanaan
:Satu
tangan
terapis
memfiksasi
pergelangan kaki dan satu tangan yang lain memfiksasi di ujung distal femur
atau tungkai atas dekat dengan persendian, terapis menginstruksikan kepada
pasien untuk menekuk lututnya kea rah pantat danterapis memberi tahanan
yang berlawanan dengan gerakan pasien, dan pasien menggerakkan atau
menekuk lututnya sampai batas nyeri, kemudian pasien disuruh rileks dan
terapis memberi penguluran ke arah fleksi, dengan pengulangan 10 kali.
c.
Resisted active exercise dengan quadriceps banch Posisi pasien : Duduk
bersandar serileks mungkin Posisi terapis
Pelaksanaan
: Menyesuaikan
: Posisikan pasien duduk dengan tepat dan
nyaman dalam quadriceps banch kemudian atur beban dan letakkan beban
pada ankle. Kemudian lakukan tes sub
maksimal 1 RM dan pasiendiminta menggerakkan sendi lututnya (fleksi-ekstensi)
apabila pasien sudah merasa lelah dan nyeri padea sendi lutut latihan dapat
dihentikan. Dalam tes 1 RM digunakan beban 2 kg dan pasien dapat
mengulangi gerakan fleksi-ekstensi sendi lutut sebanyak 10 kali, setelah itu
berhenti
karena
pasien
kelelahan.
Kemudian
RM
dihitung
dengan
menggunakan diagram Holten dengan rumus = a kg x 100% / B%, dimana A
adalah berat beban awal perkiraan terapis kepada pasien dan B adalh
banyaknya pengulangan yang dapat dilakukan pasien.
Perkiraan beban adalah 2 kg dan pasien dapat mengulangi 10 kali pengulangan maka 1
RM adalah :
1 RM
= 2 kg x 100% / 80%
= 2,5 kg
Intensitas = 30-60% dari 1RM
= 50% x 2,5 kg
= 1,25kg
Repetisi = >20 kali
Istirahat = 0-30 detik
Seri = 1-3 kali

Person Administering Scale
Mengelola item skala stroke dalam urutan yang tercantum. Rekam kinerja di setiap kategori setelah setiap
ujian subskala. Jangan kembali dan mengubah skor. Ikuti petunjuk yang disediakan untuk setiap teknik ujian.
Skor harus mencerminkan apa yang dilakukan pasien, bukan apa yang menurut klinisi dapat dilakukan oleh
pasien. Dokter harus mencatat jawaban saat memberikan ujian dan bekerja dengan cepat. Kecuali jika
diindikasikan, pasien tidak boleh dilatih (yaitu, permintaan berulang kepada pasien untuk melakukan upaya
khusus).
Instructions
Scale Definition
1a. Level of Consciousness: Investigator harus memilih
respon jika evaluasi penuh dicegah oleh hambatan seperti
pipa endotrakeal, hambatan bahasa, trauma/perban
orotrakeal. Skor 3 hanya jika pasien tidak melakukan
gerakan (selain postur refleksif) sebagai respons terhadap
rangsangan berbahaya.
0 = Waspada; sangat responsif.
1 = Tidak waspada; tetapi terangsang oleh
rangsangan kecil untuk mematuhi,
menjawab, atau merespons.
2 = Tidak waspada; membutuhkan
stimulasi berulang untuk hadir, atau
diperoleh dan membutuhkan stimulasi
yang kuat atau menyakitkan untuk
membuat gerakan (tidak stereotip).
3 = Merespon hanya dengan refleks
motorik atau efek otonom atau
Score
sama sekali tidak responsif,
lembek, dan fleksi.
1b. LOC Questions: Pasien ditanya bulan dan usianya.
Jawabannya harus benar - tidak ada kredit parsial untuk
menjadi dekat. Pasien afasia dan stupor yang tidak
memahami pertanyaan akan diberi skor 2. Pasien yang
tidak dapat berbicara karena intubasi endotrakeal, trauma
orotrakeal, disartria berat karena sebab apapun, hambatan
bahasa, atau masalah lain yang bukan sekunder dari afasia
diberi nilai 1. Hal ini penting bahwa hanya jawaban awal
yang dinilai dan pemeriksa tidak "membantu" pasien
dengan isyarat verbal atau non-verbal.
0 = Menjawab
kedua pertanyaan
dengan benar. 1 =
Menjawab satu
pertanyaan dengan
benar.
2 = Tidak menjawab pertanyaan dengan
benar.
1c. LOC Commands: Pasien diminta untuk membuka dan
menutup mata dan kemudian menggenggam dan
melepaskan tangan non-paretic. Gantikan perintah satu
langkah lagi jika tangan tidak dapat digunakan. Kredit
diberikan jika upaya tegas dilakukan tetapi tidak selesai
karena kelemahan. Jika pasien tidak menanggapi perintah,
tugas harus ditunjukkan kepadanya (pantomim), dan
hasilnya dinilai (yaitu, tidak mengikuti satu atau dua
perintah). Pasien dengan trauma, amputasi, atau hambatan
fisik lainnya harus diberikan perintah satu langkah yang
sesuai. Hanya upaya pertama yang mencetak gol.
0 = Melakukan
kedua tugas
dengan benar. 1
= Melakukan
satu tugas
dengan benar.
2 = Tidak melakukan tugas dengan benar..
2. Best Gaze: Hanya gerakan mata horizontal yang akan
diuji. Gerakan mata sukarela atau refleksif (oculocephalic)
akan dinilai, tetapi pengujian kalori tidak dilakukan. Jika
pasien memiliki deviasi konjugasi mata yang dapat diatasi
dengan aktivitas volunter atau refleksif, skornya adalah 1.
Jika pasien memiliki paresis saraf perifer terisolasi (CN III,
IV atau VI), skor a 1. Tatapan dapat diuji pada semua
pasien afasia. Pasien dengan trauma okular, perban,
kebutaan yang sudah ada sebelumnya, atau gangguan
ketajaman visual atau bidang lain harus diuji dengan
gerakan refleksif, dan pilihan dibuat oleh penyidik.
Melakukan kontak mata dan kemudian menggerakkan
pasien dari sisi ke sisi kadang-kadang akan memperjelas
adanya kelumpuhan pandangan parsial.
0 = Biasa.
1 = Kelumpuhan pandangan sebagian;
tatapan tidak normal pada satu atau kedua
mata, tetapi tidak ada deviasi paksa atau
paresis tatapan total.
2 = Deviasi paksa, atau paresis
tatapan total tidak diatasi oleh
oculocephalic maneuver.

3. Visual: Visual fields (upper and lower
quadrants) are tested by confrontation, using finger
counting or visual threat, as appropriate. Patients
may be encouraged, but if they look at the side of
the moving fingers appropriately, this can be
scored as normal. If there is unilateral blindness or
enucleation, visual fields in the remaining eye are
scored. Score 1 only if a clear-cut asymmetry,
including quadrantanopia, is found. If patient is
blind from any cause, score 3. Double
simultaneous stimulation is performed at this point.
If there is extinction, patient receives a 1, and the
results are used to respond to item 11.
0 = No visual loss.
4. Facial Palsy: Ask – or use pantomime to
encourage – the patient to show teeth or raise
eyebrows and close eyes. Score symmetry of
grimace in response to noxious stimuli in the
poorly responsive or non-comprehending patient.
If facial trauma/bandages, orotracheal tube, tape or
other physical barriers obscure the face, these
should be removed to the extent possible.
0 = Normal symmetrical movements.
5. Motor Arm: The limb is placed in the
appropriate position: extend the arms (palms
down) 90 degrees (if sitting) or 45 degrees (if
supine). Drift is scored if the arm falls before 10
seconds. The aphasic patient is encouraged using
urgency in the voice and pantomime, but not
noxious stimulation. Each limb is tested in turn,
beginning with the non-paretic arm. Only in the
case of amputation or joint fusion at the shoulder,
the examiner should record the score as untestable
(UN), and clearly write the explanation for this
choice.
0 = No drift; limb holds 90 (or 45) degrees
for full 10 seconds. 1 = Drift; limb holds 90
(or 45) degrees, but drifts down before full 10
seconds; does not hit bed or other support.
2 = Some effort against gravity; limb cannot
get to or maintain (if cued) 90 (or 45)
degrees, drifts down to bed, but has
some effort against gravity.
3 = No effort against
gravity; limb falls. 4 = No
movement.
UN = Amputation or joint fusion, explain:
1 = Partial hemianopia.
2 = Complete hemianopia.
3 = Bilateral hemianopia (blind including cortical
blindness).
1 = Minor paralysis (flattened nasolabial fold,
asymmetry on smiling).
2 = Partial paralysis (total or near-total paralysis of
lower face).
3 = Complete paralysis of one or both
sides (absence of facial movement
in the upper and lower face).
5a. Left
Arm 5b.
Right
Arm
6. Motor Leg: The limb is placed in the
appropriate position: hold the leg at 30 degrees
(always tested supine). Drift is scored if the leg
falls before 5 seconds. The aphasic patient is
encouraged using urgency in the voice and
pantomime, but not noxious stimulation. Each limb
is tested in turn, beginning with the non-paretic
leg. Only in the case of amputation or joint fusion
at the hip, the examiner should record the score as
untestable (UN), and clearly write the explanation
for this choice.
0 = No drift; leg holds 30-degree position
for full 5 seconds. 1 = Drift; leg falls by the
end of the 5-second period but does
not hit bed.
2 = Some effort against gravity; leg
falls to bed by 5 seconds, but has
some effort against gravity.
3 = No effort against gravity; leg falls to
bed immediately. 4 = No movement.
UN = Amputation or joint fusion, explain:

7. Limb Ataxia: This item is aimed at finding
evidence of a unilateral cerebellar lesion. Test with
eyes open. In case of visual defect, ensure testing
is done in intact visual field. The finger-nosefinger and heel-shin tests are performed on both
sides, and ataxia is scored only if present out of
proportion to weakness. Ataxia is absent in the
patient who cannot understand or is paralyzed.
Only in the case of amputation or joint fusion, the
examiner should record the score as untestable
(UN), and clearly write the explanation for this
choice. In case of blindness, test by having the
patient touch nose from extended arm position.
0 = Absent.
8. Sensory: Sensation or grimace to pinprick when
tested, or withdrawal from noxious stimulus in the
obtunded or aphasic patient. Only sensory loss
attributed to stroke is scored as abnormal and the
examiner should test as many body areas (arms
[not hands], legs, trunk, face) as needed to
accurately check for hemisensory loss. A score of
2, “severe or total sensory loss,” should only be
given when a severe or total loss of sensation can
be clearly demonstrated. Stuporous and aphasic
patients will, therefore, probably score 1 or 0. The
patient with brainstem stroke who has bilateral loss
of sensation is scored 2. If the patient does not
respond and is quadriplegic, score
2. Patients in a coma (item 1a=3) are automatically
given a 2 on this item.
0 = Normal; no sensory loss.
1 = Present in one limb.
2 = Present in two limbs.
UN = Amputation or joint fusion, explain:
1 = Mild-to-moderate sensory loss; patient
feels pinprick is less sharp or is dull on
the affected side; or there is a loss of
superficial pain with pinprick, but
patient is aware of being touched.
2 = Severe to total sensory loss; patient
is not aware of being touched in the
face, arm, and leg.
9. Best Language: A great deal of information
about comprehension will be obtained during the
preceding sections of the examination. For this
scale item, the patient is asked to describe what is
happening in the attached picture, to name the
items on the attached naming sheet and to read
from the attached list of
sentences.
Comprehension is judged from responses here, as
well as to all of the commands in the preceding
general neurological exam. If visual loss interferes
with the tests, ask the patient to identify objects
placed in the hand, repeat, and produce speech.
The intubated patient should be asked to write. The
patient in a coma (item 1a=3) will automatically
score 3 on this item. The examiner must choose a
score for the patient with stupor or limited
cooperation, but a score of 3 should be used only if
the patient is mute and follows no one-step
commands.
0 = No aphasia; normal.
1 = Mild-to-moderate aphasia; some
obvious loss of fluency or facility of
comprehension, without significant
limitation on ideas expressed or form of
expression.
Reduction of speech and/or
comprehension, however, makes
conversation about provided materials
difficult or impossible. For example, in
conversation about provided materials,
examiner can identify picture or naming
card content from patient’s response.
2 = Severe aphasia; all communication is through
fragmentary expression; great need for
inference, questioning, and guessing by the
listener. Range of information that can be
exchanged is limited; listener carries burden
of communication. Examiner cannot identify
materials provided from patient response.
3 = Mute, global aphasia; no usable speech
or auditory comprehension.
10. Dysarthria: If patient is thought to be normal, 0 = Normal.
an adequate sample of speech must be obtained by 1 = Mild-to-moderate dysarthria; patient
slurs at least some words and, at worst,
asking patient to read or repeat words from the
can be understood with some difficulty.
attached list. If the patient has severe aphasia, the
clarity of articulation of spontaneous speech can be 2 = Severe dysarthria; patient's speech is so

11. Extinction and Inattention (formerly
Neglect):
Informasi yang cukup untuk
mengidentifikasi pengabaian dapat diperoleh
selama pengujian sebelumnya. Jika pasien
memiliki kehilangan penglihatan yang parah yang
mencegah stimulasi simultan ganda visual, dan
rangsangan kulit normal, skornya normal. Jika
pasien memiliki afasia tetapi tampak hadir di
kedua sisi, skornya normal. Kehadiran pengabaian
spasial visual atau anosagnosia juga dapat
dianggap sebagai bukti kelainan. Karena kelainan
hanya dinilai jika ada, item tersebut tidak pernah
dapat diuji.
0 = Tidak ada kelainan.
1 = Inatensi atau kepunahan visual, taktil,
auditori, spasial, atau pribadi terhadap
stimulasi simultan bilateral di salah satu
modalitas sensorik.
2 = Hemi-kekurangan perhatian yang
mendalam atau kepunahan lebih dari satu
modalitas; tidak mengenali tangan
sendiri atau hanya berorientasi pada satu
sisi ruang.

Single Leg Stance Test
Description: A measure of the ability to stand on one leg and maintain
balance Equipment: Stopwatch
Patient Instructions: “I am going to time how long you can stand on one leg for each leg, keeping
your hands on your hips. We will randomly pick one leg to start. I will start the clock when your
foot lifts off the floor. You may balance using any method that you like as long as you are on one
leg and the other leg is unsupported. I will stop the clock either when your foot touches the ground,
your hands come off your hip, you more your standing foot or the opposite foot braces against the
standing leg.”
Therapist Instructions: The test should, ideally, be performed with the patient’s shoes off.
Demonstrate the test for the patient. Use a coin to determine randomly which leg they will do first
each time. Repeat three times for each leg. Average the scores.

Timed single leg stance (SLS) has been correlated with amplitude and speed of sway in people
without disease (Billek, 1990). The ability to maintain SLS generally decreases with increasing age
(Bohannon et al, 1985; Ekdahl et al, 1989). Single leg stance has been shown to improve over the
course of 6 months of rehabilitation (Judge et al, 1993) and during multi-‐site FIXCIT trials. Initial foot
position affects the ability to stand in single leg stance (Kirby, Price, and Macleod, 1987). Rossiter and
Wolf et al (1995) found that older adults in the community could maintain SLS for 10 sec about 89%
of the time and nursing home residents for 45% of the time.
Stair Climbing Test
Description: A measure of ability to ascend and descend a flight of
stairs Equipment: Stopwatch, flight of stairs with rail
Patient Instructions: “I am going to ask you to stand at the bottom of the stairs so that your first step
is up. My commands will be ‘ready, set, go’. Then you are going to walk as QUICKLY as you feel
safe and comfortable to the top of the stairs, turn around, and come back down. I will stop the clock
when your second foot touches the landing. You may use the rail but I only want you to use one rail
(determine which), if you can go without the rail try to do so.”
Therapist Instructions: The patient will perform one practice and two real trials.
Average the trials. Age Matched Norms:

Single Limb Step Test
Description: Measure of time to raise and lower the body 20 times
from 6” block Equipment: 6” block, stopwatch, knee immobilizer
Patient Instructions: “I am going to time how long it takes for you to lower and raise your
body on this 6” block. The leg not being tested will be in a knee immobilizer so it cannot help.
You will start by placing your foot of the leg being tested in the center of the 6” block. My
commands will be ‘ready, set, go’ and then you will step up and down 20 times in a row as
quickly as possible. I will keep track of the number of steps during the test. The heel and toe
of the leg with the immobilizer must touch the top of the block and the floor to count as one.”
Therapist Instructions: Demonstrate the test for the patient. Use a coin to randomly determine
which leg they will do first each time. Explain to the patient why they will wear the
immobilizer on the limb opposite that being tested.

Case Study for Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS)
HPC Mr A. is a frail 83-year-old man with infective exacerbation of COPD. He has been admitted to
an elderly medical ward for medical intervention and rehabilitation. His coughing has
increased his chronic low back pain and he is finding it hard to cope with the pain.
PMH COPD 23 years, Osteoarthritis in (L) knee and (R) hip and in hands L.B.P.,
Angina DH Reviewed as relevant to his medical history.
On antibiotics for current admission.
SH
Retired miner, ex smoker of 30/day, stopped 5 years ago.
Widower of 1 year, lives alone in a bungalow.
Son visits weekly to help with heavy shopping, laundry and cleaning.
Goes out in a car with son.
No social service support; previously independently mobile with no aids indoors.
Summary of Problems following Initial Assessment




Respiratory assessment conducted and Mr A is self-managing his chest and clearing
when appropriate.
Lower back assessed and determined as a chronic problem from his working days. Now being
treated conservatively with heat and advice on slow, regular, gentle range of movement to
prevent stiffness, ¯ pain and range of movement (ROM) Advised on postural maintenance at
rest, and expectation is that as cough abates, the L.B.P. will ease.
Physically Mr A requires help from nurses in all personal and functional tasks due to back pain
and SOBOE.
He is generally weak, but motivated to improve.
Agreed Physiotherapy Goals



Mr A agrees that his back will improve as his cough improves.
To return home independent of help with no Social Service support, as before.
To have his respiratory problems returned to a level, which he can, self-manage independently at
home.
Choice of O/M - EMS


No LBP measure was used as it seemed appropriate to use a more holistic tool.
EMS was chosen as it encompasses functional components, which have been identified as a
problem for this patient, e.g. in/out of bed, sitting to standing, walk in excess of 6 metres.

Description of GAS
GAS is an individualized, criterion-referenced measure of change [see King, McDougall,
Palisano, Gritzan, & Tucker (1999) for a detailed description of GAS]
GAS involves defining a set of unique goals for a client, and then specifying a range of
outcomes, which reflect concrete activities
Kiresuk et al. (1994) strongly encourage the use of scales consisting of five levels of
attainment, represented by scores ranging from -2 to +2

Using GAS for Program Evaluation

For program evaluation purposes, users of GAS need to calculate a
summary score to reflect the overall goal attainment of clients
o
The recommended procedure is to convert clients’ outcome scores on all their goals
into aggregate T- scores that can be summarized, using a statistical software package
like Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) [see Cardillo & Smith
(1994) for a discussion of T-scores and other summary scores]
o
Aggregate T-scores facilitate reliability analyses, comparisons across
clients and comparisons with standardized measures
o
Aggregate T-scores for each client can be computed using the formula developed by
Kiresuk and Sherman (1968):
(10
T = 50 +
(1 - r
WiXi)
Wi2
Wi2)
o In this formula, 50 represents the mean, 10 the standard deviation, Wi the weighting for a
particular goal [Cardillo & Smith (1994) strongly recommend against weighting
goals], Xi the score for each goal, and r the expected overall intercorrelation among
outcome scores (the formula assumes a correlation among goals of .30)
o This formula may appear time-consuming and difficult touse, but the need for manual
computation is rare (if goals are not weighted and the suggested intercorrelation of .30
is used, tables are available that allow the quick and easy conversion of outcome
scores into T-scores (see Kiresuk et al., 1994)

The examiner names three unrelated objects clearly and slowly, then
asks the patient to name all three of them. The patient’s response is
used for scoring. The examiner repeats them until patient learns all of
them, if possible. Number of trials:
“I would like you to count backward from 100 by sevens.” (93, 86,
79, 72, 65, …) Stop after five answers.
Alternative: “Spell WORLD backwards.” (D-L-R-O-W)
“Earlier I told you the names of three things. Can you tell me what those
were?”
Show the patient two simple objects, such as a wristwatch and a pencil,
and ask the patient to name them.
“Repeat the phrase: ‘No ifs, ands, or buts.’”
“Take the paper in your right hand, fold it in half, and put it on the
floor.” (The examiner gives the patient a piece of blank paper.)
“Please read this and do what it says.” (Written instruction is “Close
your eyes.”)
“Make up and write a sentence about anything.” (This sentence must
contain a noun and a verb.)
“Please copy this picture.” (The examiner gives the patient a blank
piece of paper and asks him/her to draw the symbol below. All 10
angles must be present and two must intersect.)

Instructions for administration and scoring of the MMSE
Orientation (10 points):
Ask for the date. Then specifically ask for parts omitted (e.g., "Can you also tell me what season it
is?"). One point for each correct answer.
Ask in turn, "Can you tell me the name of this hospital (town, county, etc.)?" One point for
each correct answer.
Registration (3 points):
Say the names of three unrelated objects clearly and slowly, allowing approximately one second for
each. After you have said all three, ask the patient to repeat them. The number of objects the patient
names correctly upon the first repetition determines the score (0-3). If the patient does not repeat all
three objects the first time, continue saying the names until the patient is able to repeat all three
items, up to six trials. Record the number of trials it takes for the patient to learn the words. If the
patient does not eventually learn all three, recall cannot be meaningfully tested.
After completing this task, tell the patient, "Try to remember the words, as I will ask for them in
a little while."
Attention and Calculation (5 points):
Ask the patient to begin with 100 and count backward by sevens. Stop after five subtractions (93,
86, 79, 72, 65). Score the total number of correct answers.
If the patient cannot or will not perform the subtraction task, ask the patient to spell the word
"world" backwards. The score is the number of letters in correct order (e.g., dlrow=5, dlorw=3).
Recall (3 points):
Ask the patient if he or she can recall the three words you previously asked him or her to
remember. Score the total number of correct answers (0-3).
Language and Praxis (9 points):
Naming: Show the patient a wrist watch and ask the patient what it is. Repeat with a pencil. Score
one point for each correct naming (0-2).
Repetition: Ask the patient to repeat the sentence after you ("No ifs, ands, or buts."). Allow only one
trial. Score 0 or 1.
3-Stage Command: Give the patient a piece of blank paper and say, "Take this paper in your right
hand, fold it in half, and put it on the floor." Score one point for each part of the command
correctly executed.
Reading: On a blank piece of paper print the sentence, "Close your eyes," in letters large enough
for the patient to see clearly. Ask the patient to read the sentence and do what it says. Score one
point only if the patient actually closes his or her eyes. This is not a test of memory, so you may
prompt the patient to "do what it says" after the patient reads the sentence.
Writing: Give the patient a blank piece of paper and ask him or her to write a sentence for you. Do
not dictate a sentence; it should be written spontaneously. The sentence must contain a subject and
a verb and make sense. Correct grammar and punctuation are not necessary.
Copying: Show the patient the picture of two intersecting pentagons and ask the patient to copy the
figure exactly as it is. All ten angles must be present and two must intersect to score one point.
Ignore tremor and rotation.

The30-SecondChairStandTest
Overview: The 30 Second Chair Stand Test, in conjunction with other
measures such as the 4-Stage Balance Test, Timed Up and
Go (TUG) Test and an assessment of postural hypotension
can help to indicate if a patient is at risk of falling.
Purpose: To test leg strength and endurance:
Equipment:
A chair with a straight back, without arm rests, placed
against a wall to prevent it moving
A stopwatch/timer
Instructions to the patient:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Sit in the middle of the chair.
Place each hand on the opposite shoulder crossed at the wrists.
Place your feet flat on the floor.
Keep your back straight and keep your arms against your chest.
On “Go”, rise to a full standing position and then sit back down again.
Repeat this for 30 seconds.
On “Go” begin timing.
Do not continue if you feel the patient may fall during the test.
Count the number of times the patient comes to a full standing position in 30 seconds and record it in the box below.
If the patient is over halfway to a standing position when 30 seconds have elapsed, count it as a stand. If the patient
must use his or her arms to stand then stop the test and record “0” for the number below.
Number:
(See over page for what this means)
A below average number of stands for the patient’sage group indicates a high risk of falls.
