CVA Impairments 1: motor based Flashcards
Mild ipsilateral weakness can be seen post-CVA and is most notably observed in ________________
proximal muscles
Common patterns of weakness between muscle pairs:
Ext > flex (EXCEPT: DF > PF)
ER > IR
ABD > ADD
Evertors > Inverters
Motor control
the underlying substrates of neural, physical, and behavioral aspects of movement
Reactive (feedback) and proactive (feedforward) movement is associated with
motor control
Motor Plan
an idea or plan for purposeful movement that is made up of component motor programs.
Motor program
An abstract representation that when initiated results in the production of a coordinated movement sequence.
Motor learning
A set of internal processes associated with feedback or practice leading to relatively permanent changes in the capability for motor skills.
Motor Recovery
the reappearance of motor patterns present prior to CNS injury performed in the same manner as prior to injury
Motor compensation
The appearance of new motor patterns resulting from changes in CNS
Adaptation and substitution are associated with
motor compensation
Common impairments of motor control
Abnormal synergies and apraxia
UE flexion synergy
- Scapular retraction/elevation or hyperextension
- Shoulder ABD, ER
- Elbow FLEX*
- Forearm supination
- Wrist finger flexion
LE Flexion synergy
- Hip flexion*, abd, ER
- Knee flex
- Ankle DF, Inversion
- Toe DF
UE Extension Synergy
- Scapular protraction
- Shoulder ADD*, IR
- Elbow EXT
- Forearm pronation
- Wrist and finger FLEX
LE Extension Synergy
- Hip EXT, ADD*, IR
- Knee EXT
- Ankle PF*, Inversion
- Toe PF
