splints 
casts 
rotation 
these are interventions to treat 
a. flexibility 
b. abnormal tone
c. joint integrity
d. poor posture
A

abnormal tone

34
Q

To implement a long-lasting effect on abnormal tone, the intervention must address

A

weakness and/or improper activation

35
Q

What is the best intervention for treating abnormal tone?

A

active engagement from the patient

36
Q

What intervention can be used to temporarily reduce high tone?

A

rotation of lower trunk with the patient lying supine

37
Q

Rotation to decrease tone is addressing which pillar

a. impairment
b. strategy
c. impairment and strategy

false

39
Q

Strengthening as an intervention addresses which pillar

a. impairment
b. strategy

Motor control and relearning address which pillars

a. impairment, strategy and adaptation
b. strategy
c. impairment and strategy
d. adaptation

A

impairment, strategy, and adaptation

41
Q

Using motor control and relearning as an intervention should promote (3)

A

postural control
voluntary movement
functional use of extremities

42
Q

Promoting postural control

A

anticipatory control requires hands free

43
Q

To promote voluntary movement for motor control and relearning it is key to

move out of synergy

44
Q

Priming for the intervention

A

primes for neuroplastciity

future cardiovascular episode

post-stroke depression

57
Q

_ is not required for general physical activity post stroke

A

task-specific

a. hands separated, symmetrical movements
b. hands separated, asymmetrical movements
c. hands clasped, arms move together

A

hands clasped, arms move together

60
Q

When can you start having a patient complete bimanual UE movements?

A

once they can self-assist

61
Q

What is the benefit of bilateral UE movements in comparison to unilateral?

A

increase in muscle activation and longer post-training carry over of improvement with repetitive task

62

Equipment can be used for

a. as compensation
b. adaptation
c. only for safety reasons
d. remediation assistance, safety or compensation

A

remediation assistance, safety or compensation

63
Q

When using a sling, avoid one that puts the arm into

A

IR and adduction

64
Q

Which type of AD should be avoided in a stroke patient?

A

quad cane

65
