Q

What is the difference between a Focal injury and a Diffuse axonal injury?

A

A focal injury develops as a person’s head hits a stationary object, while a diffuse axonal injury is the widespread breakage of the long-term nerve axons in the brain generally caused by rapid acceleration and deceleration at the same time.

Q

What is GBS and what does it do?

A

Guillan-Barre syndrome is an inflammatory process affecting peripheral motor and sensory nerves, often follows a viral infection. Generally after up to a year patients are able to walk again.

Q

What is ALS?

A

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrigs disease is a disease that causes the rapid degeneration of motor nerve cells. Survival time is generally 3 to 5 years.

Q

What are recovery-based interventions?

A

Promote patients ability to perform tasks at level of premorbid performance

17
Q

What are compensatory interventions?

A

Promote successful task completion using movement
strategies or equipment that substitutes for weakness
or other impairments

18
Q

What is motor control?

A

Addresses how movement is organized and coordinated

19
Q

What is neuroplasticity?

A

The brain and spinal cords ability to adapt and remodel themselves as they learn new behaviors and skills.

20
Q

What are some examples of principles that drive neuroplastic changes

A

-repetition
-training intensity
-specificity of action
-goal directed movement

21
Q

What are the stages of motor learning?

A

Cognitive stage- learn what to do
Associative Stage- refine the movement
Autonomous Stage- develop the skill

22
Q

What is MS (Multiple Sclerosis)

A

A neurodegenerative disease cause by abnormal immune mediated process. Attacking the Myelin Sheath

23
Q

What are recovery-based interventions?

A

promote patient’s ability to perform as h/s did before disease/impairment

24
Q

What are Compensatory interventions?

A

Promote patient’s usage of strategies or tools to circumvent mobility issues

25
Q

What is motor control?

A

It addresses how movement is organized and coordinated

26
Q

What is the current Motor Control Theory?

A

Emphasizes a systems-based approach. With goal directed movements and integration of different body systems

27
Q

Examples of principles that drive neuroplastic changes:

A

Repetition, specificity of action, training intensity, direction of movement

28
Q

What are the three stages of motor learning?

A

Cognitive stage: Learn what to do,
Associative Stage:refine movement
Autonomous stage:develop skill

29
Q

What is the difference between Sensation and Perception?

A

Sensation: Ability to transmit input from peripheral to spinal cord and brain.
Perception: ability to interpret sensation

30
Q

What is the most common Vestibular Disorder?

A

BPPV, yo ear crystals break and yo balance all whack yo
