Q

what is Homolateral Limb Synkinesis?

A

Resistance to upper extremity flexion facilitates or diffuses lower extremity flexor synergies.

The same spread occurs from the lower extremity to the upper extremity.

Q

Bechterev Maneuver is the Sudden flexion of the big toe from the MF joint produces dorsiflexion of the ankle and slight flexion of the hip and knee.

true or false?

A

true

20
Q

what are the Three movements are tested during the 4th stage?

A

Placing the dorsum of the hand in the lumbar region
Lifting the arm forward horizontally (up to 90°) with the elbow extended
Pronation and supination with the elbow flexed to 90°

21
Q

1- Lifting the arm laterally and horizontally with the elbow extended and the forearm pronated
2- Raising the arm to 180° flexion with the elbow extended
3- Pronation and supination with elbow extended

are all tested with which stage?

A

5th

22
Q

in which stage the isolated joint movements can be made freely.
and the spasticity is nearly gone?

A

Sixth Stage

23
Q

what are the recovery stages of the wrist?

A

Wrist stabilization for grip (stage 3)

Wrist flexion and extension with the fist closed (stage 4)

Wrist circumduction (5th–6th stage)

Fingers

24
Q

The efficiency of grasping ability largely depends on the extension of the wrist.
true or false?

A

true

25
Q

for the wrist circumduction movement the forearm is kept in supination in 5th and 6th stage of wrist recover
true or false?

A

false, the forearm should be in pronation while testing

26
Q

It is the tendency of hemiplegic patients to fall on the affected side when they sit due to the disturbance of trunk balance in the acute period.
is?

A

Listing Phenomenon

27
Q

Speed Tests The best time for these tests is between stages 1 – 4.
true or false?

A

false, 4-6

28
Q

what are the movements used to test speed ?

A

The hand is brought from the lap to the chin with full elbow flexion.
The hand is taken from the lap to the opposite knee with full elbow extension

29
Q

for lower and trunk testing list what position should the patient will be if for:

1- limb synergies
2- Trunk balance and feeling of pressure on the soles of the feet,
3- lower extremity movements are evaluated.

A

1- In lying down
2- In sitting position
3- In standing

30
Q

Facilitation is immediately reduced or stopped when the patient is able to do ?

A

voluntary control

31
Q

Reflexes, combined reactions, proprioceptive and/or exteroceptive stimuli are used to facilitate muscle contraction in the?

A

flaccid period

32
Q

Postural reflexes are used to used to initiate and place limb synergies in the early stages.
true or false?

A

false, combined reactions

33
Q

In Flask LE, due to mechanical effects and gravity, there is a tendency to go ?

A

external rotation and abd with the hip and flexion in knee

34
Q

what is the used reflex in the 2nd stage of upper extremity education ?

A

ATNR

35
Q

head lateral flexion can be used if?

A

Stimulation of elbow extension by using body weight:

40
Q
