Brunnstorm Stages Flashcards
1
Q
stage 1
- flacid or not?
- voluntary mvm?
- associated reactions?
- DTRs?
A
- flacid
- no voluntary/reflexes
- no associated reactions elicited
- no DTRs
2
Q
stage 2
- spasticity?
- DTRs?
- voluntary mvmt?
- synergy?
A
- developing spasticity
- DTRs present
- MINIMUM voluntary mvmt
- partial limb synergies elicited reflexively
stage 2
3
Q
stage 3
- spasticity?
- voluntary mvmt?
A
- spasiticy: raches “peak”
- synergies: perform basic movement synergies voluntarily (maybe not full PROM)
4
Q
at what stage is spasticity increased to maximum / peak?
A
stage 3
5
Q
stage 4
- spasticity?
- synergy movements?
A
spasiticy : start to decrease
synergy : start MIN movement OUT of synergy
6
Q
Stage 5
- spasticity?
- synergies?
- movement combinations?
A
- spasiticy continue to decrease
- synergies losing dominance
- can start performing 2 joint combos outside synergy
7
Q
stage 6
- spasiticy
- speed/coordination?
- muscle action?
A
- slight spasticity
- SLOW speed and coordination
- isolated mm action with variety of mvmt patterns
8
Q
stage 7
- spasticity?
- movement and function?
A
- no spasticity!! yay!!!
- restoration of normal movement and function
