safety instructions and precautions with assistive devices
-inspect equipment for wear and damage -remove throw rugs -environmental conditions: use caution in rain, ice, snow -keep assistive devices close to the body to avoid tripping others -do not rest axillae on axillary pads
45
body's ability to transmit afferent information about position sense, to interpret the info, and respond consciously or unconsciously to stimulation through appropriate execution of posture and movement
proprioception
46
proprioception is targeted in therapeutic exercise after
flexibility, strength, and endurance have improved
47
components of proprioception
agility balance coordination
48
proprioceptors
afferent nerves that receive and send impulses from stimuli within the skin, muscles, joints, and tendons to the CNS -send info about tension of the muscles, position of body part, etc
49
types of cutaneous receptors
fast adapting afferents slow adapting I and II afferents
50
fast adapting afferent cutaneous receptors
-detects sudden changes in speed and movement -send lots of info quickly to CNS
51
slow adapting I and II afferents cutaneous receptors
-produce constant level of stimulation and provide info related to joint and limb position
52
injured subjects have increases reliance on these receptors for proprioception
cutaneous
53
GTOs
detect tension, respond to contraction and stretch, produce relaxation
54
muscle spindles
respond to stretch, cause contraction
55
muscle spindles and GTOs
-work together to facilitate actions of opposing muscles and synergists -determine joint position because of muscle-length sensitivity -act as limb stabilizers
56
types of joint receptors
group II afferents groupt III and IV afferents
57
group II afferents joint receptors
-similar to A-beta -large diameter, myelinated axons with high speed conduction -ruffini endings, Pacinian corpuscles, golgi-mazzoni corpsucles
58
group III and IV afferents joint receptors
-group III are A fibers group IV are C fibers -small diameter, thinly myelinated or no myelinated axons with slower conduction -free nerve endings in soft tissue and articular surfaces -nocieceptors stimulated by pain and inflammation when a joint is placed in any end position
59
ligament receptors
-stimulated by ligamentous stress -produce inhibitory response of agonist muscles: ruptured ACL prevents quad muscles from contracting
60
T/F the CNS cannot determine the position of an extremity unless it receives input from all sensory, motor, and joint receptors
true
61
spinal cord
-spinal reflex or internuncial connections -quickest response
62
brainstem
-cerebellum: primary proprioceptive correlation center -posture and balance

balance
body's ability to maintain an equilibrium by controlling its COG over its base of support
65
3 systems of balance
vestibular oculomotor somatosensory
66

72
what produces relaxation of a muscle
GTOs
73
coordination
complex process by which smooth pattern of activity is produced through a combination of muscles acting together with appropriate intensity and timing
74
components of coordination
-perception of activity -feedback and feedforward -performance adjustment -repetition (develops engram and accuracy) -inhibition
75
how is coordination accomplished
complex neural network of sensory receptors, internuncial neurons, ascending and descending corticospinal pathways, and afferents receptors
76
overflow
with increased voluntary effort or prolonged effort, motor activity spreads to additional motor units of the same muscle and to motor units of other muscles
77
what produces incoordination
overflow
78
what causes incoordination
weakness
79
feedback
sensory and visual input -> cerebral cortex/cerebellar response/spinal reflex -> muscle activity -> feedback on performance from sensory and visual
80
feedforward
sensory and visual input -> cerebral cortex/cerebellar response/spinal reflex -> muscle activity
81
agility
ability to control the direction of a body or its parts during rapid movement -built on flexibility, strength, power, followed by coordination and balance
82
general concepts of exercise progression

faster
95
which should be used as transition parameter to advance functional activities
proprioception
96
T/F strength does not play a role in balance
false
97
examples of group II afferents nerve endings

98

spinal cord
99
T/F ab object with a specific gravity of 1.5 will NOT float in water

100
a patients using assistive devices is more stable because he or she has
a wider base of support
101
