day 10

Question 1

biomechanical FoR

Answer 1

focus is how the body maintains position against gravity

- how child attain and maintain proper posture

Question 2

biomechanical FOR emphasizes the

Answer 2

importance of the proprioceptive sense

Question 3

reflexes that assist the individual in transitioning form one position to another

Answer 3

righting
equilibrium
protective reactions

Question 4

movements create shifts int eh center of gravity that require a

Answer 4

compensatory reactions

Question 5

dysfunction of musculoskeletal system interferes with

Answer 5

postural reactions

Question 6

neuroldevelopment FOR developed by

Answer 6

Dr. Bobath

Question 7

neurodevelopment FOR was created for

Answer 7

children with cerebral palsy

Question 8

emphases of neurodevelopment focuses on:

Answer 8

promotion of normal movement patterns is performed

Question 9

spasticity

Answer 9

hypertonus created by tonic stretch, muscle contraction abnormal movements patterns

Question 10

dystonia:

Answer 10

a movement disorder in which involuntary sustained intermittent muscle contraction results in twisting repetitive movements

Question 11

ataxia:

Answer 11

lack of coordination during voluntary movements

Question 12

rigidity

Answer 12

a type of hypertonia characterized by a resistance to externally imposed joint movements that occur at low speeds

Question 13

hypotonia

Answer 13

diminished resting muscle tension and decreased ability to generate voluntary muscle force leading to postural instability and excessive flexibility

Question 14

impaired muscular activation:

Answer 14

both appropriate muscles and inappropriate muscle are active. this over co-contraction can lead to increased stability and moto control of a joint and limit the degrees of freedom. this is an inefficient manner that can lead to fatigue

Question 15

impaired muscle synergies

Answer 15

muscle synergy patterns emerge to develop more efficient ways of performing motor task children with impaired motor synergies use inefficient and ineffective muscle synergies to a perform a at task

Question 16

impaired timing, sequencing, and ability to grade muscle force

Answer 16

timing sequencing and the ability to grade the correct amount of pressure are essential components of motor control and performance

Question 17

overflow of limb contractions

Answer 17

often times children with CNS impairment may utilize more muscle group than needed to perform at task. this overflow may lead to problems especially when a child attempts to self-initiate

Question 18

insufficient force generation

Answer 18

weakness related to the inability to generate a sufficient force in a msucle for a purpose of posture and movement
child not having enough strength to pull apart toys a pull out a chair for him/herself

Question 19

impaired anticipatory control

Answer 19

anticipatory control is the ability of the muscule to perceive how to react to a force being placed upon it before the force is loaded

Question 20

poverty of movement

Answer 20

refers to an overall decrease in movement due to CNS or msuclokeletal impairments

Question 21

loss of dissociated movements

Answer 21

decreased ability to produce efficient movements where there is a rotation of one part of the body on another part

Question 22

sensory processing impairments:

Answer 22

impairments with SP can lead to difficulty interpreting information correctly and thus the child may produce incorrect or inappropriate motoric responses

Question 23

secondary impairments to CNS or musculoskeletal

Answer 23

these may occur indirectly form the primary motor impairment or environmental

Question 24

NDT intervention will involve four things?

Answer 24

handing
preparation and facilitation
integration of activites
positioning

Question 25

four goals of NDT

Answer 25

decrease abnormal tone
increase normal tone and equilibrium reactions
handling techniques to improve function
prevent contractures and deformities
