Medical Conditions and Occupational Therapy Study Guide

Flashcards based on the study guide transcript covering ASD, Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Sensory Processing Disorders, and Cross-Condition & Medical Terminology.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

A condition covered in the study guide involving major etiologic factors, common myths, two core domains, co-occurring features, diagnostic considerations, outcome predictors, prescribed medications, and occupational performance impacts.

Cerebral Palsy (CP)

A condition defined as differing from progressive disorders, involving specific risk factors, presentation types, muscle tone abnormalities, classification systems, medical management approaches, and functional skill impacts.

Muscular Dystrophy (MD)

A condition reviewed for its etiology, inheritance patterns, early signs, diagnostic tools, differences among major types, functional and psychosocial impacts, and general approaches to medical management.

Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD)

A disorder involving definition review, hidden senses beyond the traditional five, different patterns, risk factors, and impacts on daily life and occupational performance.

Functional Skills in CP

Specific functional skills impacted by Cerebral Palsy listed as mobility, self-care, and school tasks.

Cross-Condition & Medical Terminology

A study topic encompassing common medications across conditions, basic prefixes and suffixes, medical emergencies OTs should recognize, general OT implications for ASD, CP, MD, and SPD, and ethical considerations.

Core Domains of ASD

The two essential domains associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder designated for study review.

Hidden Senses

Sensing categories in Sensory Processing Disorders that extend beyond the traditional five senses.
