Q

Anticipatory Balance Response?

A

Automatic, unconscious

Body stabilizes segments prior to voluntary/conscious movement

18
Q

Anticipatory Balance Strategies?

A
ANKLE STRATEGY (static BOS):
- small disruptions/perturbations

HIP STRATEGY (static BOS):

  • larger disruptions/perturbations
    i. e.) to the limits of your BOS

STEPPING STRATEGY (dynamic):

  • larger disruptions/perturbations
    i. e.) beyond the BOS which elicits a step back or laterally

GRASPING STRATEGY (dynamic):

  • larger disruptions of balance
  • An individual may reach out to grasp a solid object for support or to regain balance/stability
19
Q

Balance Treatment for someone with Neurological Deficits?

A

Stimulate good sitting posture:
= active sitting on Bosi ball & affected side supported with a pressure splint

To try to promote symmetry & good muscle tone,
Stimulate affected side so person can make new connections,
Neuroplasticity

20
Q

The 3 components for Regulation of Postural Control?

A

NERVOUS SYSTEM:
–Sensory System Inputs–
Visual Inputs = highest of importance of sensory information coming in to regulate balance & posture
Vestibular Inputs = inner ear & its responses to movement & gravity to influence balance, muscle tone & eye movements
Somatosensory Inputs (proprioception, touch, pressure)
–Processing & Prioritization of information–
i.e. system’s ability to process information & recognize what’s important
–Cognition–
Attention, memory, understanding language, reasoning, ability to problem-solve
Efferent System of Response
Relaxation Time

MUSCULOSKELETAL FACTORS:
Muscle strength, muscle endurance
Joint stability
ROM, flexibility

CONTEXT FACTORS  (task/enviro):
Level of difficulty, quiet vs. busy atmosphere, novel (new) vs. learned task
21
Q

Balance Training Principles/Treatment?

A

**FOCUS ON FUNCTION **

Vary BOS  +/- UE support
Static vs. dynamic
Wide, narrow, regular   
Double-limb vs. single-limb support 
 Introduce perturbations (internal or external)
Vary the support surface (stable vs. unstable)
\+/- vision
Add speed
22
Q

Treatment Principles/Goal for Neuromuscular Control?

A

Improve muscle strength:
- precision control of single muscles

PRECURSOR FOR COORDINATED MOVEMENT

  • Guided movement of individual muscles
  • Needs repetition
