23
Q

Extrinsic:

A

orientation, distance and location

24
Q

Phase 1 of grasp and lift:

A

contraction between fingers and object to be lifted

25
Q

Phase 2 of grasp and lift:

A

grip force and load force starting to increase

26
Q

Phase 3 of grasp and lift:

A

load force has to overcome weight of the object and start its move

27
Q

Phase 4 of grasp and lift:

A

decrease in grip and load force

28
Q

What is parameter of grip force determined by?

A

previous experience, perception of the characteristics of the object to be grasped using information from visual & somatosensory (cutaneous afferent)

29
Q

Reaction time (RT)

A

the duration between the stimulus (auditory or visual cues) and the onset of voluntary movement

30
Q

Reflex latency:

A

40 – 50 ms in response to somatosensory cues

31
Q

RT:

A

80-120 ms;

32
Q

Choice RT:

A

RT varies according to the amount of information to be processed,
increasingly slowed by adding choices

33
Q

Fitts’ Law

A

describes relationship between movement time (speed), distance and accuracy

34
Q

What does movement time increase with in Fitt?s Law?

A

the increase of movement distance

the increase of arm-movement precision

35
Q

What is a critical aspect of manipulatory function?

A

locate a target

maintain gaze

36
Q

What can a central lesion affect?

A

the processing of visual signals can cause target-location problems

37
Q

Gaze stabilization problems can result from

A

Disruption of visually driven eye movements because of damage within the oculo-motor system
Disruption of vestibulo-ocular reflex control of eye movements in response to head movements
Inability to adapt the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) to changes in task demands

38
Q

What can a lesion on either side of posterior parietal area cause?

A

marked eye-hand coordination impairment or “optic ataxia

39
Q

Loss of somatosensory information leads to

A

Impaired regulation of grip and lift forces
Problems in fine motor control of the hand
Regulation of forces in response to slips during object lift task and an ongoing grip

40
Q

The majority of recovery of reach and grasp occurred during

A

first 90-days

41
Q

Greatest proportion of inputs from the cortico-spinal tracts goes:

A

to the motor neuron pools of the distal upper segments

42
Q

In CP, there is a lack of what?

A

LACK OF ANTICIPATION in hand grasp formation.

43
Q

What is dependent on cutaneous input?

A

Forces for gripping (GF) and lifting (LF in graph)

tactile sensation

44
Q

In what pathology is problems with adaption shown?

A

cerebellar

45
Q

Motor Activity Log (MAL)

A

assess the amount and quality of hemiparetic arm use post-stroke and children with hemiplegic CP

46
Q

Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory

A

for children 6 months to 7.5 years of age; to assess the skills a child can perform independently or with assistance

47
Q

School of Functional Assessment

A

for children in kindergarten to 6th grade pertinent to school-related functional tasks

48
Q

Functional Independence Measure (FIM

A

used to measure basic ADL scales

49
Q

WeeFIM

A

normative data for children 6 months to 7 years of age; evaluation on self-care, sphinctor control, transfer, locomotion and cognition

50
Q

Wolf Motor Function Test

A

used to quantify single- or multiple-joint UE movement and functional tasks

51
Q

Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test

A

designed to simulate to hand function common to ADL tasks

52
Q

Advantages of Functional Performance-based Tests

A

quantification of functional performance and comparison with established norms

53
Q

Limitations of Functional Performance-based Tests

A

Do not always examine the quality of movement used;

Do not provide insight into why patient is unable to perform a functional skills

54
Q

Visual Regards

A

Eye-head Coordination

Target localization and Gaze stabilization

55
Q

Reaching and Grasping behaviors may reveal underlying problems

A

planning and anticipatory control

56
Q

The problems in patients with impaired reach are

A

(1) increased movement time and

(2) an inefficient hand trajectory

57
Q
