Exam 6: Chapter 12 Part 2 Flashcards
Adaptation is a requirement for successful locomotion. Sensory feedback control is called equilibrium. What are the two types of equilibrium
reactive and proactive
Which sensory systems contribute to reactive/feedback control of gait
somatosensory
vision
vestibular
Do deafferented cats still step?
yes but they are unrefined
Do deafferent cats benefit from the fine tuning provided by somatosensory input or higher brain influences
no
Do deafferented cats have a shorter or longer step cycle. Explain why?
They have a longer step cycle because they need sensation to trigger steps. They can still step, but without somatosensory information it takes longer
Is somatosensory systems a top down or bottom up organization?
bottom up
Cutaneous sensation of the somatosensory system has a significant influence of the _____ and allows for recovery when the paw hits an obstacle at the _______ somatosensory pathway
CPG; ascending
Cutaneous input and stretch reflexes appear to be (less/more) influential than load reflexes
more
In swing, cutaneous stimulation to the foot the ___ produces rapid dorsiflexion to clear the object
TA
In late swing/early stance stimulation produces early the ___ is inhibited to allow for weight support as the leg loads into weight bearing
TA
Cutaneous sensation of the somatosensory system appears to be modulated by the ____
cortex
Describe how cutaneous sensation influences interlimb coordination
stimulation applied to one limb influences phases dependent responses in all four limbs, not just the one being stimulated
Visual cues influence the alignment of the body to ____ and the ____
gravity and environment
In regards to reactive balance control in gait and the visual system, is the central or peripheral vision used?
Both
In regards to reactive balance control in gait and the visual system, is the dorsal or ventral stream used
both
In regards to reactive balance control in gait and the visual system, the larger the sample the (less/more) visual sampling is done
more
Is the vestibular system top down or bottom up
top down
Stabilization of the ___ is accomplished through co-varying forward rotation (pitch) and vertical displacement of the head for stability in the _____ plane
head; sagittal
Stabilizing ____ during head movement is accomplished through the ______ reflex. The eyes move opposite to the head to maintain a forward gaze
gaze; vestibulo-occular
List the 5 attentional demands in order from least challenging to most challenging of postural control
sitting to standing standing in tandem romberg position walking obstacle avoidance while walking recovery from external perturbations
True or False:
Auditory task does not diminish gait as a dual task
true
Describe the results of the walk to run transition study when patients are given s cognitive task
The shift to run occurs at a higher speed so the treadmill has to be at a higher speed before the patient starts to run when given a cognitive task
What are the three basic requirements of stair-walking
progression
stability
adaptation
