(2) Treatment Approaches for TBI/CVA - Lab Flashcards
Hands on, client centered approach that seeks to improve gross motor function in children and adults with neuro problems
NeuroDevelopmental Treatment
What must NDT include
sensorimotor experience bc/ learning comes from mvmt perception
what is the major focus on NDT
postural responses and mvmt patterns while avoiding abnormal mvmts
what 4 things does NDT encourage
- using both sides of body
- WB on affected side
- decrease use of adaptive equipment
- managing m tone
what are the main populations NDT was historically used with
adult CVA/hemi and Cerebral palsy
what theory was NDT based on
reflex-hierarchical theory
dynamic approach to the evaluation and treatment of neuromsk dysfunction that take into account neurophysiological and kinesiologic principles of sensory-motor system
PNF
what 2 patterns of mvmt are used in PNF
diagonal and spiral
PNF can be used to improve strength to improve what 2 things in TBI pts
balance recovery and gait
when should PNF be started?
ASAP
why was CIMT developed
initial unsuccessful use of affected limb post stroke
what is the theory that CIMT is based on
learned non-use theory
what is the learned non-use theory
pt gets negative FB in the form of pain or task failure when trying to use affected limb –> teach pts how to compensate
what did Taub find when he applied his theory of CIMT to human subjects
restraining stronger side and using weaker side could improve the amt and quality of mvmt
what are 3 components of CIMT
- intensive, repetitive motor training
- constraint of non-paretic limb
- behavioral techniques to facilitate transfer of gains
