Panelists are discussing deconditioning. Patients became unwell using the deconditioning model of rehabilitation. Thinking of a dysregulation model may be more helpful per OT Sue Pemberton - work on regulating sleep, eating, blood pressure, autonomic function, etc. Avoid PESE
Francis McGuire makes the point that functional tests may be normal (sit to stand, walk tests, etc). It’s important to look at how the patient felt in the day or two after (i.e monitor for PESE). With patients who are dysregulated, the disability is episodic. #LCPForum
