2. As PTs, what are the things we need to educate the JIA patients and their families? What is
the outlook for JIA patients? What are the goals of PT for JIA patients? What are the best POC
for JIA patients? (25 points)
Educate the patient and family about condition
Educate them about complication and what to prevent
Importance of energy conservation techniques: rest intervals
Proper position

Transfer techniques
Exercise techniques

The outlook

JIA affects each child differently. For some, only one or two joints are affected and the disease is easy
to control. For others, JIA may involve many joints and the symptoms may be more severe and may
last longer.

With early detection and treatment, including physical and occupational therapy, it is possible to
achieve good control of the arthritis, prevent joint damage, and allow normal or near-normal function
for most children who have JIA.

The Goals

Slow down or stop inflammation.

Relieve symptoms, control pain and improve quality of life.
Prevent joint and organ damage.
Preserve joint function and mobility.
Reduce long-term health effects.
Achieve remission (little or no disease activity or symptoms).
prevent disability

Polio Virus? Is vaccination important? What is the outlook for Polio patients? What are the
goals of PT for Polio patients? What are the best POC for Polio patients? (25 points)

We can educate them by showing them how easy we can prevent Polio Virus by just taking
vaccination and show them why is important to take the vaccination, we can do trend in social media
about it, so most people know that vaccination is so important

The Vaccination is so important because Polio is a very contagious disease — it spreads easily from
person to person. Most people who get polio don't have any serious problems. But in some cases,
polio can be very dangerous and lead to permanent disabilities — and even death.

The outlook

Between 2 and 10 out of 100 people who have paralysis from poliovirus infection die, because the
virus affects the muscles that help them breathe.
