Brunnstrom Stages of Recovery Flashcards
1
Q
Stage 1
A
No Volitional Movement is Initiated
(no reflexes)
2
Q
Stage 2
A
The appearance of basic limb synergies. The beginning of spasticity
(reflexes at the very least)
3
Q
Stage 3
A
The synergies are performed voluntarily, spasticity increases (highest point of spasticity)
(movement in synergies)
4
Q
Stage 4
A
Spasticity begins to decrease. Movement patterns are not dictated solely by limb synergies..
(movement combining synergies)
5
Q
Stage 5
A
A further decrease in spasticity is noted with independence from limb synergy patterns
6
Q
Stage 6
A
Isolated joint movement are performed with coordination
7
Q
Stage 7
A
Normal Motor Function Restored
