Dapat ba ako maging masaya kasi nakakalakad na sila pagkatapos ng stroke nila?
Dapat ba ako maging masaya dahil buhay sila kahit matigas ang kamay at paa nila?

Kahit hindi sila mag Physical Therapy, nagkakaroon ang utak ng sarili nyang recovery kung saan nirerepair nya ang kanyang sarili ay Ito ay tinatawag na "Spontaneous Neurological Recovery".

Ang tanong, "Eh kaya naman pala ng utak mag repair sa sarili nya, bakit ang mga pasyente ay hindi pare-pareho ng recovery?"

Ang utak ay may kakayahang pagalingin ang kanyang sarili, e heal ang sugat sa ulo, ngunit ang kanyang kakayahan ay nagbabase sa laki ng pinsala ng stroke, edad ng pasyente, at anong klase ng stroke. May kakayahan ang utak na pagalingin o e repair ang kanyang sarili ngunit hindi ito sapat at kailangan ng "external factor" para mapabilis at mapatama ang kanyang pag papagaling.

MAPATAMA?

OO, ang kakayahan ng utak na e repair ang kanyang sarili ay hindi sapat at kadalasan ay adaptive ang nagyayari at ito ay tinatawag na "Compensatory Recoveries". ito ay ang kakayahan ng utak na mag ADAPT sa new environment nya sa loob kaya makikita mo, nagkakaroon ng SPASTICITY o pagtigas ng mga muscles dahil dyan sa pagkatapos ng pinsalang dulot ng stroke, o kaya kaya nya magkaroon ng new connection kung tama ang nangyayari. Ang kakayahan ng utak na ito ay tinatawag na NEUROPLASTICITY. Kaya kailangan merong taga correct ng recovery ng utak upang mapigilan o ma neutralize ang normal compensatory recoveries nito.

ANO ANG ROLE NG PHYSICAL THERAPY AT IBA'T IBANG REHABILITASYON?
- Ang physical therapy at iba't ibang rehabilitasyon ay magsisilbing external corrector ng utak, magsisilbing guide o g**o ng utak kung ano ang tamang paggalaw, paglakad, ano ang dapat na tamang pakiramdam, ano ang kailangang laki ng effort ang kailangan sa paggalaw, ano ang tamang postura ng katawan kung nasa iba't ibang posisyon ito, etc. In short, kung walang physical therapy at rehabilitasyon, ang recovery ng utak ay walang silbi.

PERO BAKIT MAY MGA STROKE NA KAHIT NAG PA PHYSICAL THERAPY O NAKAPAG UNDERGO NG REHABILITASYON NA AY PANGIT AT HINDI MAGANDA PARIN ANG RECOVERY?

Dahil yan sa mga physical therapist at ibang physical rehabilitation professionals na hindi marunong. Na instead pigilan ang adative recoveries ng utak ay sila mismo nagpapa pabilis ng pagtubo ng adaptive recoveries nito. Example: normally, ang spasticity ay tumutubo 1-3 months after stroke, pero kung hindi marunong ang physical therapist mo at mali-mali ang ginagawa ng incharge sayo sa rehabilitation mo ay 3 weeks pa lang may spasticity ka na o matigas na ang muscles mo. Hindi ang physical therapy ang problema, kundi ang gumagawa ng physical therapy --- ang mga physical therapists na hindi marunong mag desenyo ng tamang plano at tamang rehabilitation sa stroke.

ANO MANGYAYARI KUNG MAY SPASTICITY (Matigas na ang kamay o paa) NA ?
- Pwedeng pigilan o e slow down ang spasticity gamit ang tamang rehabilitation. Ngunit kung ito ay makikita na at mag set in na sa kamay o paa o sa alin mang parte ng katawan ay mahihirapan ka ng mag pa recover dito. Kailangan mo ng meticulusong rehabilitasyon, at tulong ng ibang specialista at serbisyong professional.

Dapat habang wala pa ang spasticity ay dapat tama, wasto, timely, at meticuluso ang inyo stroke rehabilitation program sa loob ng days to 3 months pagkatapos ma stroke.

Hindi question ang licensya, pinag aralan, at titulo na hawak ng iyong taga rehab, ang dapat ay ito ay MARUNONG AT UPDATED!

HAND OF A STROKE-IN-THE-YOUNG PATIENT

In the video, you can observe significant improvements in the muscles, joints, tendons, skin, hand posture, and effort.

These results demonstrate that with the right physical therapy and with appropriate stroke rehabilitation program, we can reduce spasticity in the hand. While recovery may take time, there is always hope.

HISTORY:
This stroke patient previously received traditional stroke rehabilitation from another center before coming to me and already had flexor spasticity at the time.

🧠 Committed to provide effective and evidence-based stroke rehabilitation program...

"Primum non nocere," the Latin phrase meaning "First, do no harm," is one of the key principles of bioethics that all healthcare students learn during their education. This principle is fundamental not only in medicine, dentistry, and nursing but across all healthcare professions, including PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy is a health profession focused on addressing physical disabilities and impairments that individuals may experience due to injury, disease, congenital anomalies, or aging. Physical therapists are trained professionals who provide various services, including consultation, reevaluation, prognostication, and individualized treatment planning. Like other healthcare professionals, they are not exempt from making mistakes, which can arise from limited resources, insufficient knowledge and experience, or poor critical reasoning and judgment skills. Such errors can lead to poor patient recovery, prolonged bed stays, worsening physical impairments, and mental issues due to present medical conditions.

Physical therapists can lighten these mistakes by practicing ACCOUNTABILITY and COMMITTING TO CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL GROWTH (Not just for PRC CPD purposes). Additionally, an interdisciplinary approach is also encouraged, especially when dealing with complex medical or surgical conditions or issues beyond a professional's expertise. In such cases, it's vital to refer or co-manage the patient with physical therapy colleagues who are familiar and more trained with the case.

"First, Do no harm" is not merely a slogan; it is a principle that should be deeply embedded in the mindset of all healthcare professionals. By adhering to this principle, they can provide their services with compassion, humility, and love, ensuring that they heal their patients without causing further harm.

I saw a post in the social media about Bell Palsy as if this paralysis will lead to permanent disability and lifetime impairment.

Fo the the information of everyone, BELL PALSY, or Facial Paralysis or Cranial Nerve 7 palsy is a temporary paralysis of the face supplied by the facial nerve.

Its NOT A PERMANENT PARALYSIS OF THE FACE and usually resolves after 2-3x a week, minimum of 10 sessions and maximum of 16 sessions of CORRECT and EFFECTIVE physical therapy treatment (if there is no complications, no skull fractures, no intracranial anomalies, not chronic, and not congenital) ...

To my fellow healthcare professionals especially physical therapists, explaining the pathophysiology (disease process) and prognosis (recovery) of the case to our bell palsy patients during evaluation are necessary to save them from MISINFORMATION, OVERACTING, AND UNECESSARY DRAMA IN THEIR SOCIAL MEDIAS.

Not all have the same priviledges..

Those who were born sa UMA (Bukid) ang may less medical priviledges since malayo sila sa kabihasnan and ang ila kwarta insakto nalang pang bakal pagkaon.. First time nya sa iya 67 years of life mag pa consulta and amo pa ni iya condition. This is an advanced case of osteoarthritis + vertebral compression deformity + neck straigthening + lumbar spondylolisthesis + instability, and possible disc herniations.

AKO: "Tay, nabudlayan ka mag tulon sang tubig or sang pagkaon na ginakaon mo?"
SYA: "Oo gasalamukan gid ako kag masakit. na amat amat ko lang"
AKO: "Mag ubo ka or mag bun-a gasabat sa likod mo kag sa imo kahig?"
SYA: "Oo. masakit. pati mag hulag."

The patient works as a farmer since teenager. hindi ko ma imagine ang kabug-at sang ginapas-an nya sa iya ulo, shoulder, kag ginaguyod nga mga palay, carabao, kag mga goods halin sa farm. Now, he is 67 I told him na mag retire na and let his kids do the works.

PAIN IN OUR BODY that is more 3 days to weeks is a clue na may something wrong inside. If you have pain that lasts 3-7 days and still unresolved, go to your physician, physical therapist, or any healthcare professional and seek healthcare intervention. Dont wait na lumala.

I appreciate those physical therapists who reached out to me and asked for my professional advice and tips on how to deal with their professional life after passing their Philippine physical therapy board exams.

So, as a physical therapist with more than a decade of experience, and have experiences in different physical therapy settings such as schools, private physical therapy clinics, hospitals, homes for the elderly, community-based, industry, and home-based, Here are my tips for you:

1. It's okay to be feeling broke for 3-4 years after passing the board exam. Your priority here is not to earn a huge amount of money but to acquire advanced training, skills, and higher knowledge. Convert your salary or earnings to knowledge and skills.

2. Find a mentor to guide you and inspire you.

3. Join any medical mission that has physical therapy services or acquire probono cases. You will learn a lot from them.

4. Expand your network and influence.

5. Embrace yourself of the reality. Some of your colleagues will hate you because of your beliefs, way of thinking, ideas, and patient preferences. It's normal. It's called professional rivalry. Although it's a healthy competition others are just insecure. Nevermind them.

6. Learn how to plan and budget your finances.

7. Plan your next goals after 3-4 years. What I am going to do next? Abroad? Pursue my graduate study? Choose my field of interest. Put up my private practice? Etc… Align your daily activities to your goal.

8. Be appreciative of your struggles. Normally, you will experience emotional and compassion fatigue, feelings of dissatisfaction, and self-crisis along the way. It's normal.

9. Do moonlighting. You can do part-time works aside from your major work. Choose a major job that does not require a 5-day, 8am-5pm shift to give way to your other part-time jobs.

10. Be open to new knowledge, suggestions, and new experiences.

GOOD LUCK, YOUNG PHYSICAL THERAPISTS!
