Examination of Postural Control and functional Movements in Adults Flashcards
1
Q
What do PTs do for postural control
A
- analyze postural control
- determine areas of deficit
- prioritize areas of deficit
- discuss with patient
- manage deficits
2
Q
What does a postural control analysis consist of
A
- person, task, environment
- motor control analysis
- Person: questionnaires, surveys, history
- Task: balance test
- environment: underlying causes
3
Q
What is the first steps of assessment
A
- understand the problem from the patient
- history
- environment
- effects on participation
4
Q
What parts of the history can have an effect on postural control
A
- job
- illness
- shoes
etc
5
Q
What parts of environment can affect their postural control
A
- clutter
- beverages (alcohol)
- public spaces may not be friendly to them
6
Q
What is the framework for determining the range of balance demands and functional tasks inlcuded in clincial measures of balance
A
- on one end you have test sit, stand, and walking
- then in each position you can test steady state, reactive, anticipatory control
7
Q
Postural control test and what they measure
A
- balance evaluation systems test
- BESTest
- biochemical constraints
- stability limits
- anticipatory postural adjustments
- reactive postural response
- sensory orientation
- dynamic gait
8
Q
Balance and Gait tests
A
- Berg Balance test
- TUG
- Dynamic Gait index
- Functional gait assessment
- Modified clinical test of sensory integration in balance (mCTSIB)
- Chair stand test: weight shifting, anticipatory control, ability to make corrections
- multi directional reach test
- 5 times sit to stand - more standard
