treatment after brain surgery

[junior_physiotherapist]

hi all ,
hmmmm,may u have to test (gag reflex,bite reflex,) ,muscles of tounge,hypersensitivetiy of oral areas,poor lips clousers,hand -eye coordination,head control,sitting activeties,....

once ur patient is able to feed not through nasl tubes:
ur spoon should be very shallow to permit easy removal of food by lips and small rounded to avoid stimulation gag reflex,spoon should be bone not metal..

position is very important. a chair and table of right size and hieght are also essential for good feeding...

regards

hi sharma,
wat is ur aim regarding the patient?if u going to work towards his movements start with passive movements , bed mobility & slowly progress 2wards movements sitting sit to stand etc.dont be worried abt speech r feeding.also see that whether it is a benign tumor r malignant tumor like nonhodgkins, lymphoma etc becoz the area ,size & type do play into account in improvement.
since its parieto occepital his cognition & learning will be poor.
