Generation & Control Of Movement Problems Flashcards
Movement pattern coordination deficit (MPCD)
Difficulty in coordination
Can expect to get movement back
Key tests and signs of MPCD
Sit to stand: altered sequence or direction of movement components during execution
Gait: slow, guarded steps, may need assistance for balance
Reach/grasp: awkward/slow
Force production deficit (FPD)
Present with weakness, subcategories (poor vs good potential for recovery of impairment)
FPD key tests and signs
Difficulty with initiation of tasks
Good potential for recovery
FPD
Treatment approach is restoration or remediation
Patients may get worse first because of fatigue
Poor potential for recovery
FPD
Treatment approach is compensation
Hypokinesia
Move slow and have difficulty initiating movement
Most commonly Parkinson’s
Treatment focuses on increasing amplitude and speed of movement, and primarily compensation
Hypokinesia key tests and signs
Struggle initiating movement - delayed timing of postural adjustments, assistance required especially with transitional movements
