16
Q

Indications- weakness, hypotonia

A

Tapping

17
Q

Activates muscle spindles which facilitates agonist contraction and antagonist inhibition

Precaution - may increase spasticity

A

Quick stretch

18
Q
  • most effective when applied in lengthened range to initiate a voluntary contraction
  • actively uses the stretch reflex arc
A

Quick stretch

19
Q

Force exerted by the muscle activates spindles and GTOs which enhances muscle contraction by facilitating agonist and inhibiting antagonist, recruits additional motor units and enhances kinesthetic awareness

A

Resistance

20
Q
  • techniques include manual resistance, body weight/gravity, weights
  • can increase spasticity and cause substitution if too much resistance is used
A

Resistance

21
Q

Applied to sensitive ares such as the hands as light strokes with fingertips, quick icing, or light pinch/squeeze to elicit withdrawal

A

Light touch

23
Q
  • patient accommodates rapidly but good to mobilize a low response pt such as TBI
  • contraindicated with PT’s who have autonomic instability or are agitated/combative
A

Light touch

24
Q

Inhibit abnormal movement and tone or reflexes, also facilitates normal tone and movement patterns

A

Handling

25
Q

Indications- inability to move due to spasticity

A

Handling

26
Q
  • key points of control
  • proximal key points (head, trunk, shoulders, pelvis) - used to develop control of proximal segments before working on distal (also help influence ton through entire limb)
  • distal key points (hands and feet)
A

Handling

27
Q

Handling~

  1. Head and trunk - flexion decreases ______, trunk and limb _________
  2. Humerous - _____ and ______ to 90 degrees decreases flexion tone of UE
  3. Hip - Femoral _____ and _____ decreases extensor adductor ton of LE
  4. Thumb - ____ and ____ with forearm _____ decreases tone of wrist and fingers
A
  1. Head and trunk- flexion decreases shoulder retraction, trunk and limb extension
  2. Humerous- ER and flexion
  3. Hip- ER and abduction
  4. Thumb- ABD and ext with forearm supination
28
Q

Done at end of limited ROM- isometric contraction at end of range followed by voluntary relaxation and passive movement into new range

A

Hold-Relax (HR)

(isometric contraction against the clinician’s resistance- contraction of antagonist/tight muscle- stimulates GTO)

Autogenic Inhibition

29
Q

Indications- Limited ROM due to muscle tightness and spasticity

A

Hold-Relax (HR) and/or Contract-Relax (CR) and/or Contract-Relax Active Contraction (CRAC)

30
Q

Isomeric contraction at end of range followed by active contraction into new range (maintains inhibitory effects through reciprocal inhibition)

A

Hold-Relax Active Contraction (HRAC)

(after isometric contraction of antagonist, pt is instructed to concentrically contract the agonist muscle to move to new range)

Both Autogenic and Reciprocal Inhibition

31
Q

Isotonic movement in rotation through available range followed by isometric hold at end of range against slowly increasing resistance, then followed by voluntary relaxation and passive movement into the new range

A

Contract-Relax (CR)

(pt contracts the antagonist concentrically for 10 sec against manually applied resistance)

Autogenic Inhibition

32
Q

Similar to CR except movement into the new range is active not passive (maintains inhibitory effects via reciprocal inhibition)

A

Contract-Relax Active Contraction (CRAC)

33
Q

Voluntary relaxation combined with slow, passive, rhythmic rotation of the body or body part around the longitudinal axis followed by passive range out of the spasm

A

Rhythmic Rotation (RRo)

(traction of the joint & rotation/wobble at the same time)

Goal: to increase mobility

34
Q

Indications- hypertonia

A

Rhythmic rotation (RRo)

35
Q

Slow and prolonged activates muscles spindles & GTOs to inhibit muscle tone

A

Prolonged stretch

36
Q

Includes manual stretch, inhibitive casting, reflex-inhibiting positioning, and mechanical low load weights

A

Prolonged stretch

37
Q

Maintained contact or pressure which activates parasympathetic nervous system- causes calming effect and general inhibition and desensitizes skin receptors

A

Maintained touch

38
Q
  • applied through firm manual contacts, pressure to abdomen, back, palms, or soles of feet, rubbing
  • good for highly aroused pts and hypersensitive
A

Maintained touch

39
Q

slow stroking applied over the PARAVERTIBRAL SPINAL REGION to cause generalized calming effect

A

Slow stroking (speed & pressure is key)

40
Q
  • patient is placed in supported position such as prone or sitting with head and arms supported on a table
  • use flat hand to apply firm strokes down paraspinals for 3-5 min
  • good for highly aroused clients with increased sympathetic (fight or flight) response
A

Slow stroking

41
Q

Retain body heat which decreases generalized tone- includes wrapping with Ace or towel, snug clothing, air splints for 10-20 min
- good for high arousal and spasticity

A

Neutral warmth
