Q

Brunnstrom assumptomes

A

use for patients with CVA and stroke recovery

regression to older pattern of movements

stages of motor recovery

change in muscle tone and reflexive movements are normal in recovery

requires muscles to work synergistically

intervention focuses on progressing client through stages

Q

Brunnstrom Stages of recovery

A

1- tone is flaccid, no voluntary movement
2- synergies can be elicited reflexively, spasticity developing
3- begin voluntary movements, spasticity may be significant
4-spasticity decreases, movement starting to deviate from synergy patterns
5- further decreased tone, increased ability to perform complex movement patterns
6- tone nearly normal with ability to do complex combinations of isolated movement
7-normal speed and coordination
