Foundations and Techniques Flashcards
What 6 components make up function?
muscle performance, stability, balance/ postural equilibrium, coordination, cardiopulmonary endurance, mobility/ flexibility
Motor learning consists of what 2 things?
Acquisition and retention of skilled movement
What is a discrete task?
a task that has a recognizable beginning and end
What is a serial task?
a task that is composed of a series of discrete movements that are combined in a particular sequence. Ex eat with a fork, wheel chair transfers etc.
During the cognitive stage the patient is …
learning how, need to think about it. Open environment may be to distracting, and errors are common
During the associative stage the patient is…
fine tuning, problem solving to self correct, fewer mistakes
During the autonomic stage the patient is…
in autopilot and doesn’t need to pay attention
Concurrent Feedback occurs during..
real time as the patient is completing each rep
Immediate feedback occurs when
the patient has done a few reps and feedback is given
Delayed feedback occurs when
the patient has completed a set or a decent amount of repetitions and feedback is given
Summary feedback occurs when
the patient has completed the exercise and a summary of feedback is given to the patient
Continuous task
A task that involves repetitive, uninterrupted movements that have no distinct beginning or end. Ex walking, ascending/descending stairs, cycling etc.
Results of concurrent visual cues
learned the skill more quickly, but poor retention 2 days later
Results of immediate response group
retained info much better than the concurrent group
Which group of feed back had the best retention?
summary and concurrent
Difference between tendonopathy, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and tendonosus?
tendonopathy is an umbrella term, tendonitis is inflammation of tendon(typically acute), tendonosis is chronic overuse leading to degeneration, and tendosynovitis is multiple tendons in sheath, and the sheath becomes inflamed
What affects tissue healing?
Age, body type, chronic disease, nutrition, and smoking
How long is the inflammation phase? and what does it consist of?
typically 4-6 day and there are complex chemical and cellular interactions like the release of histamines and bradykinins, pain, redness/swelling, spasm
What are the goals during the inflammation phase?
patient education, manage pain and swelling, PROM/AAROM
How long is proliferative phase? what does it consist of?
typically 5-21 days but can last up to 6 weeks. Pt education still important, progress to AAROM/AROM, open and CKC exercises. Be careful not to advance exercises to early
When is it “too much” exercise?
pain continues after 4 hours, not resolved within 24
What are PT goals during the remodeling/ maturation stage?
progressive strengthening and stretching, complex higher level exercises, increase endurance. Keep up with patient education
Difference between RA and OA
RA is typically in a younger population, effects joints bilaterally, smaller jts sudden onset, and can have systemic signs like fatigue, weight loss, fever, and malaise. OA typically only affects 1 joint, larger jts of LE, often history of overuse/ injury, and is the 2nd highest cause of disability in US.
