Initial Evaluation
Address: Balagtas, Panganiban, Cebu City Referring M.D: Dr. Arbatin (exact name unrecalled)
Occupation: N/A; student Dx: T/C (to consider) Traumatic SCI (Non-traumatic SCI 2°
Pott’s disease)
Handedness: R
/S/: (All pertinent information was taken from the pt.)
C/O: Pt. c/o difficulty walking d/t (due to) weakness of both (B) legs. (PT should have asked if there is
still pain, rate of pain, type & location)
HPI: Pt’s current condition started when pt. felt pain (PT should have asked for the pain rating & type
of pain) on her back somewhere in March 2019 (exact date unrecalled) which caused her to have a
consultation c a private physician (exact name unrecalled) & was diagnosed c UTI, prescribed c
cefuroxime (dose unrecalled) which was taken for 7 days but back pain was still not addressed. (PT
should have asked for the name of the hospital) Pt. still continued to join dance practices in school
which caused her back pain to worsen. Pt. just ignored it because she thought that the pain would just
go away until she woke up one morning on May 10, 2019 experiencing a severe stabbing pain in her
lower back rated as 9.5/10 ( 0 = no pain; 10 = worst pain possible) c numbness on B LEs. Pt. was
unable to get up from bed, stand & walk. Pt. was then brought to Chong Hua Medical Hospital in
Fuente (PT should have asked method of arrival to hospital such as: stretcher-bound, w/c bound/arm
borne) where the pt. had an x-ray which showed a “break on the spine” & MRI showing severe
pathological compression fx on T6 vertebral body c gibbus deformity, paravertebral mass which
caused compression on thecal sac and SC findings may be 2° to Pott’s disease. She was then admitted
on the same day (May 10, 2019) under the care of Dr. Arbatin (exact name unrecalled). Pt. underwent
surgical removal of the mass on May 16, 2019 & wherein a metal implant was also inserted on the
spine; received one PTRx as an IPT (Initial PT treatment) & was discharged (D/C) on May 18, 2019.
She started having PTRx in San Nicholas Rehabilitation Center last June 05, 2019 c a schedule MWF
Prior level of function: Pt. can do ADLs s any difficulty & limitation (Pt. is indep in all ADLs); & was
active in school activities.
Social Hx: Pt. lives c family including mother, 2 siblings, grandmother, aunt & 2 cousins. Her siblings
go to school which can assist her during night time & her grandmother & aunt assist her when
mother is not around. Pt. has no (cultural &religious) belief which can interfere c PTR.
Employment Status: Pt. is an incoming grade 11 student but stopped at present d/t (due to)
condition. Prior to summer vacation, she goes to school Monday to Friday (8:00 am(a.m)- 5
pm(p.m.)); joins school activities; active member of dance team, attending practice p class for
approx.. ~3 hrs. every dance practice session.
Living Environment: Pt. lives in a 2-storey house c cemented flooring c stairs having ~8 steps c
railings on both sides; ~10 steps main door <-> bed, ~11 steps bed <-> kitchen; ~7 steps bedroom
<-> CR; (-) ramp since ground floor is level from outside <-> inside of the house.
General Health Status: Pt. rates general health status as fair because she can now walk s any assist.;
no more back pain & sees that her condition is improving.
Social Health Habits: Pt. is an active member of dance team in school; spends most of her time in
dance practice & likes to binge-watch K-dramas during freetime; denies smoking & drinking.
Family Health Hx:
Significance: Pt. is (-) for any heredito-familial dse paternally & maternally. (Pt is at risk of htn
2° maternal genetic predisposition; Paternal hx was not asked since pt. grew up s father.)

ADLs except bathing, dressing LE, toileting, locomotion & transfers d/t (due to) weakness
of B LE (2° Non-traumatic SCI)
/A/
Problem List:
PT Impression: Pt. presents c ↓ muscle strength & LOM on B LE showing difficulty in prolonged walking
& standing d/t impaired stability & tolerance. Pt. will benefit from sit to stand/standing exercises to
improve balance & tolerance, wobble board to ↑ stability, AROMEs to prevent loss of motion & ES & FES
on B LE for muscle re-education.
PT Diagnosis: Pt. presents c ↓ AROM & PROM in B hip flexors, abductors,
adductors & B knee flexors due to muscle weakness 2° non-traumatic SCI
which limits her ability to perform functional activities like bathing, dressing in
LE, transfers & locomotion. Pt. will benefit from AROME & stretching to ↑ ROM
in B hip & knee motions; will also benefit from PREs on B hip & knee
musculature to ↑ muscle strength.
3. PREs on B LE using green thera band & ankle weights (5lbs) on all hip, knee & ankle motions x8 reps x2 sets to ↑ muscle strength
4. Gait training c cones c 2kg Ankle weights for 3 meters x 3 sets
5. Partial Squats x10 reps x3 sets to strengthen quadriceps
6. Partial Lunges x10 reps x3 sets to strengthen quadriceps
Suggestion:
1.Bicycle Ergometer for 5 mins to ↑ cardiovascular endurance
HEP:
2.Stepping up & down the stairs (1st 3 steps) x 10 reps x 1 set
3.Weight shifting x 10 reps x 1 set
4.AROMEs on B LE to maintain jt. & soft tissue integrity
Precautions:
5.Easy fatigability
6.Risk for falls
