Try: The Care recipient (cr) will likely need assistance following a seizure it may be difficult to tell if the cr is ok at first ask questions to determine if the person knows her name where she is what time or day it is and what happened if the cr is unable to answer these questions telling her this information may help decrease confusion and orient the cr to their surroundings before you leave the cr alone be sure that she is able to answer basic questions the unpredictability of seizures coupled with feelings of loss of control that a cr with epilepsy experience is often amplified by her not knowing what occurs during a seizure although the cr with seizures may not be ready to discuss what happened immediately following the seizure it is important and helpful for her to know this information enables the cr and her healthcare providers to determine the type of seizures effectiveness of treatment and need for changes additionally knowing what happened during a seizure and having a chance to talk about it may help make the seizures less scary and life seem more predictable information references epilepsy com

Try: A motor skill is a learned sequence of movements that combine to produce a smooth efficient action in order to master a particular task the development of motor skill occurs in the motor cortex the region of the brain that controls voluntary muscle groups gross motor skill require the use of large muscle groups to perform tasks like walking balancing crawling the skill required is not extensive and therefore are usually associated with continuous tasks much of the development of these skills occurs during early childhood the performance level of gross motor skill remains unchanged after periods of non-use fine motor skill require the use of smaller muscle groups to perform tasks that are precise in nature activities like playing the piano and playing video games are examples of using fine motor skills generally there is a retention loss of fine motor skills over a period of non-use smaller more specific tasks usually require more fine motor skill than gross motor skills motor skills generally decline as the person ages information references motor skills motor movements

Try: Once seizures are entertained as a possible cause of a the care recipient’s cr medical problem a number of medical tests will likely need to be done the simplest is a history and physical examination thephysician will review the events to see if they fit the typical profile for a seizure which often lasts 60 seconds and may reoccur the doctor will also assess the cr’s medications other common tests include an mri and eeg other tests include assessing the condition of the cr’s heart to make certain that there is no abnormal heart rhythm that may lead to problems that ultimately lead to a seizure sometimes one cannot be certain if a particular episode or spell represents a seizure it is only after these studies are completed and coupled to the history and physical examination results that one can make a diagnosis of seizures or epilepsy if indeed there is a clear diagnosis that seizures and epilepsy are occurring in the cr then the next question that arises is whether a seizure medication should be initiated information references epilepsy com
