Q

Unilateral neglect (4 things about it)

28
Q

describe Ideomotor apraxia

A
  1. ~Breakdown btw concept and performance
  2. ~They can do the task but they cannot do the task when asked~Can brush their teeth without thinking, but if you ask them to do it, they cant
  3. ~Can get it form an idea to a motor
  4. ~You can sometimes trick them into doing it (if you tell them to stand, they cant, but if you try and get them to get a drink of water, they will easily stand up)
  5. ~Also tend to perseverate (motor or verbal)- yes, yes, yes, yes or they keep doing the same action over and over again
29
Q

describe Ideational apraxia

A

The ability to put parts together to make a whole (in the correct way)

  2. ~Putting underwear on the outside, etc
32
Q

what do we need to know about Non equilibrium tests?

A

Does someone have coordination outside of balance; don’t have to know all these, but should know at least one for UE and LE for exams

33
Q

what are some Non equilibrium tests? (16)

A
  • 1) Finger-to-nose
  • 2) Finger-to therapist’s finger

Q

what are some Equilibrium tests?

A

Testing balance- berg’s, etc

35
Q

COM- stands for

A

Center of mass

36
Q

COM- male vs female (locations)

A

Men COM is around the navel, but females are lower because of hips

37
Q

describe: Cone of stability

A
  1. ~if you take your COM to the limits of the BOSs without falling (leading forwards/ backwards/ side to side)

A
  1. ~Feet: different when they are shoulder width, staggered, narrow, etc
  2. ~can be your butt when sitting- want 90/90/90 (hip, knee, ankles); moving forward and backwards will change BOS bc it changes where the feet are

get more narrow
