II. HISTORY TAKING


Chief Complaint : Nyeri punggung bawah

History of Present Illness:


The patient complained of low back pain since 3 weeks ago, after she fell in a sitting position when she
was about to sit on a chair. The pain was felt in the middle buttock area around the tailbone (WBS 8).
The pain is local and does not radiate, there is no tingling, numbness, no weakness. Pain is worse when
the patient sits on a hard surface, pain improves in a lying position. The pain made it difficult for her to
walk. The pain did not improve so she was taken to the RKZ ER, then referred to RSDS for further
treatment. Patient admitted to Kemuning Room RSDS from 27 March - 3 April 2023, she received a
rehabilitation program.

Three months earlier, the patient complained of swollen legs. As the days went by, her legs and hands
became increasingly stiff, making it difficult for her to walk and grip. The patient walked by holding on to
surrounding objects or was assisted by her daughter.

In the last 1 week, the patient's condition was getting weaker, so she only lay in bed. Pain in the low
back area was still felt with WBS 3 (felt "kemeng"). She was able to rolling right/left, but unable to
change position from lying to sitting by herself. She defecates and urinates using diapers. She could not
walk due to weakness and stiffness. She is able to eat by herself or be fed by her daughter. She is a
vegetarian since more than 10 years ago. There is no complain of cough or shortness of breath. There is
no complaint of night sweats and prolonged fever. Her bodyweight is decreasing since 3 months ago.

History of Functional Ability:


The patient is bedridden. She is able to feed herself or be fed by her child. The patient bathes with
wiping, dresses with the help of her daughter. She can feel if she is going to defecate and urinate,
defecate and urinate using diapers. She needs help to change position from lying to sitting. She is unable
to sit without backrest, stand up and walk by herself.

History of Medication and Rehabilitation:


 Internal Medicine: Asam Folat 2x1, Paracetamol 500 mg if pain, Albumin 3x2 caps, Vit D3 1x1
 Pulmonary: planning of thorax CT-Scan next week.
 PMR: received PMR program in Kemuning RSDS.

History of Past Illness:


Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Stroke, Tumor, and Cardiology problem were denied.
Trauma (+) 20 years ago, neglected fracture of the right wrist, but able to do ADL.
History of Work/Hobby:
She worked as an administrative staff at PT Dirgantara, still working until just before her illness. Her job
involves a lot of sitting. There is no specific hobby.

History of Psycho-socio-economic:
The patient is originally from Mojokerto, while working in Surabaya the patient lived in her own
boarding house. The patient has a daughter (27 years old, social media parttimer, bachelor degree) living
in Mojokerto. Since the patient became ill, her daughter has accompanied her to the boarding house in
Surabaya.

Family History:
No family history of disease or complaints similar to the patient's.

Patient’s Expectation:
She can walk again

Lower Extremity Weakness et Bilateral Pes Cavus ec Suspect Charcot Marie Tooth + Ulcus Decubitus
Regio Sacrum (Improved) + Underweight Impression.

PROGNOSIS
Ad vitam : Dubia ad Bonam
Ad sanactionam : Dubia ad Malam
Ad functionam :
- Transfer : bed mobility, lying to sitting, sitting to standing independent
- Ambulation : independent walking with or without assistive device
- Other ADL : minimal dependent with Barthel Index >90

GOALS
Short term:
1. Established the diagnosis
2. Reduced further complication of prolong immobilization (pain, atrophy, weakness, contracture)
3. Reduced back pain (from WBS 3 to 0-1)
4. Independent transfer from lying to sitting
5. Good sitting balance and tolerance
6. Improved muscle strength of upper and lower extremities (MMT improved 1 level)
7. Improved sensory function (10-20%)
8. Improved respiratory function (CT >20, CE 2,5/2,5/2,5)

Long term:
1. Prevented worsening of condition
2. Achieved good posture
3. Improved respiratory function (CT >25, CE 3/3/3)
4. Improved ADL (BI from severe to mild dependent)
5. Normal sensory function
6. Improved bodyweight
7. Safe transfer and ambulation with proper assistive device
8. Better quality of life.

PLAN
PDx: EMG-NCV (pending until review Thorax CT Scan), evaluate HDRS, suggest consult to nutritionist
PTx:
Modality:
 NMES Galvanic Current at bilateral ankle plantar flexor and dorsiflexor until visible muscle
contraction for 20 minutes.

Therapeutic Exercise: precaution : avoid fatigue


 Bed mobility exercise
 Transfer exercise from lying to sitting
 Gradual passive sitting mobilization as patient tolerance
 Posture correction
 Active breathing exercise with deep breathing
 Chest expansion exercise
 Cores strengthening exercise with abdominal drawing in
 ROM exercise of bilateral upper and lower extremities according to ADL (AROM if MMT >=3,
AAROM if MMT 2, and PROM if MMT 0-1)
 Strengthening exercise bilateral upper and lower extremities as patient tolerance
 Gentle stretching of bilateral ankle to dorsiflexion
 Sensory resensitization

PMx: vital sign, clinical findings, WBS, ROM, MMT, decubitus ulcer, count test, chest expansion, sensory
function, transfer ability

PEdx:
1. Explain patient condition, prognosis, rehabilitation program she will get, and goal of the
rehabilitation program.
2. Proper positioning when supine and sitting
3. Continue exercise at home : breathing exercise, ROM exercise, bed mobility exercise, SLR
modified exercise, axial loading exercise both lower extremity, endurance exercise by lifting
water bottle with Borg scale 11-12
4. Turning to the left and right every 2 hours while lying on bed
5. Icing when pain, duration: 20 minutes, at tender area, can be repeated every 4 hours
6. Continue control to internal medicine and pulmonary OPC.
