7] Neuro Interventions E2 Flashcards
Data from randomized trials with low false positive(alpha) and low false-negative (beta) errors
Level 1 evidence
Data from randomized trials with high false positive(alpha) or high false-negative (beta) errors
Level 2 evidence
Data from nonrandomized concurrentcohort studies
Level 3 evidence
Data from nonrandomized cohort studiesusing historical controls
Level 4 evidence
What is level 5 evidence?
Data from anecdotal case series
What is level 6 evidence?
Expert opinion
When tasks are repeated, the number of active regions in the
Brain are reduced
During the initial phases of motor learning, ? and ? regions of the brain are active.
Large and diffuse
When a motor task is learned, on ?, ? regions of the brain show an increased activity when performing the task
Small, distinct
Synapses are unused until injury occurs; Injuries to otherpathways causes their activation.
Unmasking
Brain capacity is dependent on the ? And NOT ?
of connections NOT # of neurons present
What interventions DO NOT promote neural reorganization?
Facilitation (PNF?)
Stretching
Strengthening
Functional reorganization of the cortex is ?
Skill and motor learning dependent; NOT USE
Brainstorm: flaccidity stage
1
The whole hemiparetic side is completely limp.The arm, the leg, the torso, the face including the mouth and tongue, the whole body on one side is flaccid or
limp.
Brun 1
Spasticity starts to creep in what stage of Brun?
2
Spasticity becomes severe in what Brun?
3
Spasticity is generally seen as a positive step because it signals the beginning of some sort of
messages getting through to the limbs. There may be some
small amount of voluntary synergistic movement available.
Brun 2
The good part is that voluntary controlof synergies develops
Brun 3
Spasticity begins to decline in this stage
Brun 4
Synergies continue to decline in this stage
Brun 5
Mvmts are near normal in this stage and no spasticity except when fatigued or doing fast mvmts
Brun 6
the stage where some movement outside of synergy ispossible.
Brun 4
able to have more voluntary control out of synergy and spasticity continues to decline.
Brun 5
Individual jointmovements become possible and coordination approaches
normal
Brun 6
What does Brun stages tell therapists?
Where the stroke survivor is in the recovery process
Environment drives motor development Utilization of the environment impacts
Behaviorist/cognitive theory
Spinal cord guru and Nobel Prize winnerRecriprocal lnnervation
Sherrington laws
Lead to Brun and NDT
Hierarchal model
Multiple systems interact to produce movement based on a specific taskThe “why” of movement
Individual + task within environment
Dynamic systems theory (mid 80s)
Three tenets to how the brain organizes and develops:
basic connections, Trial and Error, Expansion.
Brain is adaptable to change.
Neuronal group selection theory
Information to carry out the motor taskis contained in initial instructions; movements runs
w/o influence of peripheral feedback or error
detection processes
Open loop
Employs feedback and a reference for
correctness to compute error and initiate subsequent corrections relative to initial instructions issue
Closed loop
Based on principles and componentsof normal development and movement
