Exam 2 Flashcards
Disability
inability to perform activities usually expected in specific social roles that are customary for the individual or expected for the person’s status or role
Three components of physical therapy intervention
Coordination, communication, documentation
Patient/client related instruction
Procedural interventions
Restorative
Treat involved areas to remediate/improve function
Compensatory
Promote optimal function using residual abilities
Preventitive
Avoid potential future damage
Phase Models of Psycholsocial Adaptation
Shock, Anxiety, Denial, Depression, Internalized anger, externalized hostility, acknowledgement, adjustment
Strategies for Type A (high achievers)
Give good HEP
Strategies for perfectionists
Help patient find pleasure in accomplishing simple things
Strategies for authoritative personality
Engage in problem solving
Strategies for a passive-aggressive
Place responsibility for progress on patient, have patient make decisions about treatment, summarize progress
Positive coping strategies
Seeking control and information
Express emotion
Seeking social interactions
Negative coping strategies
Avoid control and information
Repress emotions
Withdrawal from social interactions
External locus of control
Other people or outside factors have control over outcomes
Have stress and anxiety in rehab
Internal locus of control
Person can affect his/her own circumstances
Quicker recovery, better motivation, more hope, more energy
Acute stress disorder
Symptoms that range in duration from 2 days to 4 weeks
Posttraumatic stress disorder
Acute: symptoms less than 3 mos
Chronic: symptoms beyond 3 mos
Motor control
Ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to movement
Motor skills
Learned through interaction and exploration of the environment
Motor program
Abstract representation of movement that results in production of coordinated movement sequence
Motor plan
Idea or plan for purposeful movement that is made up of several motor programs
Short term change in neuroplasticity
Efficiency or strength of synaptic connections
Long term change in neuroplasticity
Organization and numbers of neural connections
Motor learning
Internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to relatively permanent changes in capacity for skilled behavior
Feedback
Response produced information received during or after the movement; monitor output for corrective actions
Feedforward
Sending signals in advance of movement to ready the system; allows for anticipatory adjustments in postural activity
Validity
Test accurately measures the parameter of performance being examined
Reliability
Consistency of results in test/retest situations
Ascending reticular activating system
Exerts an excitatory influence on the cerebral cortex to maintain the alert state
Levels of consciousness
Alert
Lethargic - slow to respond, drowsy
Obtunded - dull, blunted response, difficult to arouse, appears confused
Stupor - semiconscious, aroused only with intense stimuli
Coma - no response to stimuli
4 parts of orientation
Time
Place
Person
Circumstance
What indicates attention problems
Inability to repeat six items (short lists of numbers or objects)
Declarative memory
Recall of facts/events
Immediate memory
Recall after a few seconds
Short term memory
Recall in minutes to days
Long term memory
Recall in years (general knowledge)
Anterograde amnesia
Poor new learning
Retrograde amnesia
Unable to remember previous learning
Factors of articulation
Timing Vocal quality Pitch Volume Breath control
Neologisms
Creating new words
Circumlocutions
Talk around what it really is
Anomia
No language or stuck on word or two
Ideomotor apraxia
Have automatic movement, but not on demand
Ideational apraxia
Purposeful movement is not possible
Closed loop system of motor control
Uses feedback, somatosensation
Open loop system of motor control
Does not use feeback or error detection
Rapid movements or well learned movements so don’t have time to process
Tone
Resistance of muscle to passive stretch while attempting to maintain muscle relaxation
Spasticity
Velocity dependent resistance to passive stretch
Clasp knife response
Meet a lot of resistance, then reach a point where it is easier to move
Decorticate rigidity
UE flexion, LE extension
Disruption above superior colliculus
Decerebrate rigidity
Sustained posturing of UE & LE extension
Lesion between superior colliculus and vestibular nucleus
