23
Q

Visually dependent

A

abnormal in conditions 2,3,5, and 6

24

Surface-dependent

A

abnormal in 4,5, and 6

25

26
Q

Sensory selection problems

A

abnormal in conditions 3-6

27
Q

Sensory selection problem

A

Refers to inability to appropriately select a sense for postural control in environments in which one or more ORIENTATION cues inaccurately report body’s position in space (there is incongruence among senses).

28
Q

Anticipatory Postural Control

A

Highly dependent on PRIOR experience and learning

29
Q

Timed Up & Go (TUG)

A

Sensitive and specific indicator of fall status in community dwelling older adults (>15 s)

30
Q

Timed Up & Go (TUG) 10 s

A

freely independent

31
Q

Timed Up & Go (TUG) 20 s

A

independent in basic transfers

32
Q

Timed Up & Go (TUG) 20-29 s

A

gray zone

33
Q

Timed Up & Go (TUG) 30 s

A

usually need help with chair or toilet transfers, help in and out of tub, assistance with stairs, unable to go out alone

34
Q

Functional Reach Test (FRT)

A

a single-item test developed as a quick screen for balance problems and risk for falls in older adults.

35
Q

41
Q

Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)

A

Used to measure lower extremity performance such as strength, balance and mobility in older adults.

42
Q

Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest)

A

used to examine multiple aspects of postural control

43
Q

A
biomechanical constraints
stability limits
anticipatory transitions
postural responses
sensory organization
dynamic gait
44
Q

BBS stability state:

A

Standing unsupported

Sitting unsupported

45
Q

Proactive Postural Responses

A

Responses occur before prime mover and in preparation for the perturbation

46
Q

Adaptive Control

A

changing task demands resulting from changes in the BOS

47
Q

IMPAIRMENT level

A

to optimize the components of postural control (e.g., exercise to improve ROM, strength)

48
Q

STRATEGY level

A

to develop or refine task specific sensory, motor, and cognitive strategies used for postural control

49
Q

FUNCTIONAL level

A

to learn to preserve postural control during changing tasks and environmental conditions
