Clinical Balance - unit 3 Flashcards
what sensory systems contribute to balance control
proprioception, vision, and vestibular
how does visual sensory info contribute to balance over the lifespan
we rely on it most as infants and old people
how does vestibular sensory info contribute to balance over the lifespan
we don’t rely on it much at all throughout life
how does proprioception sensory info contribute to balance over the lifespan
we rely on it most during our adult life
what is being tested during the Y-balance test
dynamic balance and neuromuscular control at limits of stability
who do we typically use Y-balance tests on
athletes
what is being tested during the B.E.S.T. balance test
biomechanics constraints, limits of stability, anticipatory postural adjustments, postural response, sensory orientation, gait
who do we typically use the B.E.S.T. balance test on
stroke, multiple sclerosis, parkinsons
what is being tested during the B.E.S.S. balance test
balance following a suspected head injury
what is being tested during the CTSIB balance test
dependence on different sensory systems
who do we typically do the CTSIB balance test on
anyone
what is condition 1 “standard” of CTSIB
all sensory systems used
what is condition 2 “proprioception” of CTSIB
vestibular and proprioception used; no vision
what is condition 3 “vision” of CTSIB
vestibular and vision used; no proprioception
what is condition 4 “vestibular” of CTSIB
vestibular used; no vision or proprioception
what impairments might someone with TBI experience
increased swaying and instability, decreased velocity
what impairments might someone with MS experience
decreased balance, slow movements, delayed response to perturbations
what impairments might someone with Parkinson’s disease experience
slow movements, muscle stiffness, shuffling, festination, freezing
festination
short, rapid steps taken during walking
freezing
looks like being stuck in one place
