13
Q

what is the learned non-use theory

A

pt gets negative FB in the form of pain or task failure when trying to use affected limb –> teach pts how to compensate

Q

what did Taub find when he applied his theory of CIMT to human subjects

Q

what are 3 components of CIMT

A
  • intensive, repetitive motor training
  • constraint of non-paretic limb

16
Q

what principle of neuroplasticity is represented by CIMT preventing use of compensatory behavior, forcing pt to relearn involved UE

A

use it and improve it

17
Q

why was mirror therapy originally invented?

A

for post amputation pts struggling with phantom limb pain and learned paralysis

18
Q

what is a theoretical condition in which phantom limb was paralyzed in similar position to the original limb pre-ampuation

A

learned paralysis

19
Q

what is mirror therapy

A

uses mirror to create a reflection of affected limb, thought to trick the brain into thinking that mvmt has occured

20
Q

what cells in the brain are active during mirror therapy

A

mirror cells

21
Q

what cells react equally when we perform an action and when we see somebody else perform an action

A

mirror cells

22
Q

what was the first application for exoskeleton

A

gait rehab in stroke and SCI pts

23
Q

what is a peripheral device that attaches to the wrist and allows person to interact with their task

A

end-effector

24
Q

what are the primary neuroplasticity principles for use of exoskeleton

A

high repetition and high intensity practice

25
Q

what 3 ways in exoskeleton used for early mobilization in CVA/TBI

A
  • gait training
  • guiding weight shifts
  • improving step pattern and cadence
26
Q

what tool has reduced the subjectivity of studying mental imagery and credited its effectiveness

A

dynamic brain imaging

27
Q

the cognitive rehearsal of a skill w/o mvmt body

A

mental imagery/practice

28
Q

what are 2 types of mental imagery

A
  • visualizing feeling associated with mvmt
  • visualizing actually performing the mvmt
29
Q

when is mental imagery most beneficial

A

early stages of learning that require more cognitive demands

30
Q

what 4 neuroplasticity principles are supported by mental imagery

A

repetition, specificity, salience and transference

31
Q

what is a precaution for use of mental imagery

A

CVA in parietal or premotor area –> chaotic mental imagery

32
Q

how was virtual reality previously used

A

flight simulation, surgical training, treatments of phobia/PTSD/body image disorders

33
Q

technology with interactive simulation creating near-reality environment for users

A

VR

34
Q

what is the most important neuroplasticity principles for VR

A

salience

35
Q

what does VR NOT show improvement in

A

cognitive function

36
Q

what is the goal of NMES re-education

A

re-teach pts how to contract/activate m
