FINAL EXAM Flashcards
A non-progressive ( It doesn’t get worse) brain injury or malformation
that occurs while the child’s brain is under development
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy:
It affects body _ and _
movement and muscle
coordination
Cerebral Palsy:
Symptoms vary from mild to severe
- On the mild side, It could be only a _
slight speech issue
Cerebral Palsy:
Symptoms vary from mild to severe
- And on the severe
side, a total inability to _ and can also cause an
Intellectual disability
control any part of the
body
Cerebral Palsy:
Premature infant _ times more likely to be born with CP than full-term baby
five
3 Schemes of Cerebral Palsy
- Topographical (parts of body anatomical)
- Neuromotor (medical)
- Functional (movement related)
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
6 Topographical classifications
- Monoplegia
- Diplegia
- Hemiplegia
- Paraplegia
- Triplegia
- Quadriplegia
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Topographical classifications
- Any one body part
Monoplegia
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Topographical classifications
- Major involvement of
both lower limbs or minor
involvement of both upper limbs
Diplegia
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Topographical classifications
- One complete side of the body (arm and leg)
- Muscle stiffness or weakness on one half of the body
- Lack of fine motor skills
- Difficulty balancing and
walking
- Keeping one hand fisted
Hemiplegia
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Topographical classifications
- Any three limbs involved (rare)
Triplegia
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Topographical classifications
- Total body involvement (all
four limbs, neck, and trunk)
Quadriplegia
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Neuromotor classifications
- 3 types
- Spastic CP
- Dyskinetic CP
- Ataxia CP
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Neuromotor classifications
- The child has increased muscle tone, stiff and tight
muscles, It is difficult for them to turn then on and off
- Largest group it is about 80% of all CP
Spastic CP
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Neuromotor classifications
- Largest group it is about 80% of all CP
Spastic CP
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Neuromotor classifications
- The child has low
uncoordinated movements,
involuntary movements,
interferes with speaking
Dyskinetic CP
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Neuromotor classifications
- The child has balance
problems, clumsiness,
awkwardness
- They just look very clumsy
Ataxia CP
Schemes of Cerebral Palsy:
Neuromotor classifications
- It is rare (6%)
Ataxia CP
Cerebral Palsy Educational Considerations:
CP is _, not cured. Its always going to be there
- Alleviating symptoms caused by brain damage
managed
Cerebral Palsy Educational Considerations:
Managing _ —improving muscle control, muscle relaxation, functional skills
motor function
Cerebral Palsy Educational Considerations:
_ development—interferes with development of functional skills (e.g., kicking and throwing balls)
Abnormal reflex
Cerebral Palsy Educational Considerations:
_ is a big part of success
Physical therapy
Cerebral Palsy Educational Considerations:
Primary concern—to develop _
total person (use of
collaboration or team approach)
Insult to the brain affecting physical, cognitive, social,
behavioral, and emotional functioning
- Referred to as silent epidemic
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Physical impairments include lack of coordination, planning and sequencing movements, muscle spasticity, headaches, speech disorders, paralysis, and sensory impairments (vision problems)
- It is a wide difference between patients
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
_ impairments may result in short- or long-term memory deficits, poor concentration, altered perception, communication disorders (reading, writing), and poor
judgment
Cognitive
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
_ impairments include mood swings, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, inability to self-monitor, depression, sexual dysfunction, excessive laughing or crying, and difficulty with impulse control and relating to others
Social, emotional, and behavioral
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- Leading killer and cause of disability in _ and _ in U.S
children and young adults under 45 years of age
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- About _ Americans have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI)
5.3 million
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- Males _ times more likely to sustain a TBI than females
1.5
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- _, _, and _ are leading causes of injury
- Can also be caused from anoxia, cardiac arrest, near drowning, child abuse, and sport and recreation accidents
Motor vehicle accidents, violence, and falls
Classification and degrees of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- May result from accident, gunshot wound, or blow to head resulting in a visible injury
Open head injury
Classification and degrees of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- May be caused by severe
shaking, lack of oxygen, cranial hemorrhage, or blow to the head as in boxing
Closed head injury
Classification and degrees of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- Can range from very _
mild to severe
Classification and degrees of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
- Severe degree of injury characterized by _ and _
prolonged state of unconsciousness and many functional limitations remaining after rehabilitation
Teaching strategies and techniques for students with TBI:
- Use frequent _
reminders
Teaching strategies and techniques for students with TBI:
- Provide _ for review
additional time
Teaching strategies and techniques for students with TBI:
- Present information in _
simple steps
Teaching strategies and techniques for students with TBI:
- Help student _ information and use _ to remember material
- organize
- special techniques
Teaching strategies and techniques for students with TBI:
- _ written materials
color-code

- Can affect motor ability and control, sensation,
communication, emotions, consciousness, and so on
Stroke
Stroke:
Varying degrees of disability
minimal loss to total
dependency
