Exam 2 - PD - Chapter 6 Flashcards
____ control is required to perform tasks and activities necessary for independence and life fulfillment.
motor
_____ control is necessary for a person to function independently during occupational performance tasks.
motor
The ability to regulate or direct movement
motor control
Information is relayed to the _______ to organize the musculoskeletal system and create coordinated movements and skilled actions.
central nervous system
Movement involves these these 5 things
Perception Motor Planning Motor Execution Feedback Biomechanics
Making sense of input
perception
processing input
motor planning
carrying out movement
motor execution
relationship of muscles and joints to each other
biomechanics
When an insult to the CNS occurs or a progressive, neurologic disease develops, ______ is affected.
motor control
This theory says that movement is a function of interactions among the neuromuscular system, environment, cognition, and the task itself.
dynamical systems theory
This system includes the nervous system, muscular system, and skeletal systems, which interact to influence and produce movement.
neuromusculoskeletal
When examining the neuromusculoskeletal system, practitioners evaluate these three things
Physical appearance
Postural mechanism
Coordination
These mechanisms include postural tone, muscle tone, integration of the primitive reflexes and mass patterns of movement, righting reactions, equilibrium reactions, protective extension, and selective voluntary or intentional movement.
postural mechanisms
In patients who have sustained CNS damage secondary to a CVA or traumatic brain injury, the normal ______ mechanism is disrupted
postural
OT practitioners assess the degree of _____ to the postural mechanism in patients with CNS trauma or disease.
damage
This refers to muscle tension in the neck, trunk and limbs.
Postural tone
Postural tone must be high enough to resist _______, thus enabling persons to be upright against ______ yet low enough to allow _______.
gravity, gravity and movement
Abnormal muscle tone may be too low, resulting in poor ________ or too high, resulting in _______
stability, rigidity
This is a continuous state of mild contraction, or state of readiness of a specific muscle.
normal muscle tone
Muscle tone is the resting state of a muscle in response to ___ and _________.
gravity and emotion
The level and distribution of muscle tone change as the ___ changes
position of the patient’s head in space
When it comes to muscle tone, the OT is responsible for _________.
evaluating muscle tone and its distribution (and how it interferes with activities)
Abnormal muscle tone is described as these three categories
hypotonicity, hypertonicity, or rigidity
How does a person begin to “feel” the range of muscle tone
practice
Muscle tone increases with___ or ____
stress, difficulty
