Conditions
Interventions
early cognitive therapy program in addition to selected physical therapy program (positioning, chest care exercise).
A.Positioning for head injury patients B.Chest clearance intervention C.Procedure for cognitive therapy All these exercises are given to patients even when they are on ventilator support of around 20-30 minutes six days /week . 1. coma stimulation incorporated with cognition training such as : i. Multimodal Sensory stimulation, including : 1. Visual 2. Auditory 3. Olfactory 4. Gustatory 5. Tactile- Administered by rubbing different textures like satin, silk, fur, smooth metal, sandpaper, or cool or warm items over the patient's body surfaces. ii. Calling out their names, using patient's relatives help for transferring were used for improving the cognition and conscious levels. 2. Kinesthetic Stimulation 1. Passive movements 2. Joint approximation Each movement two times, allowing 1 minute to respond. This will be performed either in bed or in the wheelchair, one extremity at a time.
selected physical therapy program (Chest care exercise, passive movement of the four limbs) in addition to early cognitive therapy program
