📌Positioning

👉Positioning helps in reducing/preventing:

Skin damage
Limb swelling
Shoulder pain
Subluxation
Discomfort
Respiratory complications
It also helps maximize function and maintain soft tissue length.

🔘Positioning recommendations

📌Chair

▪️sitting in an armchair (Arm Support devices such as a Lap Tray may be used to assist with arm positioning for those at risk of shoulder subluxation)
▪️Chair positioning with family addressing from hemiplegic side
▪️Trunk positioning with blanket roll to maintain upright
▪️Hemiplegic arm supported on bedside table
▪️Legs in neutral position can use blanket roll to assist
▪️Feet flat on floor

📌Bed

▪️Side lying on the unaffected side then side lying on the affected side. (2 hourly turning positions)
▪️Elevation of the limb when resting for individuals who are immobile to prevent swelling in the hand and foot (above the heart)
▪️Positioning for increased stimulation of the affected side for patients with hemi spatial neglect
▪️Head positioning with towel roll
▪️Hand with wash cloth roll.
▪️Foot positioning with Foothold boots or Skin Care heel float or pillow for positioning

🔈 PROPRIOCEPTION

Physiologically, posture and balance are a result of the interaction of a number of sensory feedbacks and the resulting muscular responses. The sensory feedback comes from proprioceptors. The proprioceptors detect any changes in movement or position and any changes in tension, or force, within the body. They are found in all nerve endings of the joints, muscles, and tendons.

1. Pressure sensors in the soles of the feet and proprioceptors in the ankle joints detect the proportion of weight distributed between left and right and between the balls and heels of the feet.

2. The vestibular apparatus of the ears can detect any change in equilibrium, even before it occurs, and send messages to the brain.

3. The eyes detect a level horizon and feedback to the brain causes postural adjustment to try to keep the eyes parallel with that horizon.

4. Neurological structures in muscle and tendon tissue (the muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs - which are also types of proprioceptors) detect changes in muscle tensions and the rate of that change.
