Interventions for addressing Neuromuscular dysfunction Flashcards
1
Q
What is the goal of intervention
A
- functional movement
2
Q
Factors for interventions for tasks
A
- general tasks and demands
- posture control/balance
- mobility functions
- stability functions
- UE functions/self care
- LE functions/walking
3
Q
Functional movement
individuals
factors for individual
A
- body function
- mental functions
- sensory/perceptural functions
- motor functions
- cardiorespiratory functions
- overall health status
- personal factors
4
Q
Functional movements
factors: environment
A
- physical features
- regulatory features: can be controled
- nonregulatory features: cannot control
5
Q
Impairments
Musculoskeletal
A
- improve capacity
- strength
- ROM/flexibility
- as much as possible within the limitiation of their health condition
- if return to normal is not possible explore alternative compensatory movement strategies
- prevent secondary complications from inactivity
6
Q
Impairments to
neuromuscular
A
- drive neuroplasticity with intense, repetitive meaningful activity
- incorporate coordination challenges that include appropriate timing, sequencing, and power production within tasks
- manage spasticity if limiting active movement through PROM/stretching, reciprocal inhibition or medication through physician
7
Q
Impairments to
cognitive perceptual
A
- structure environment, tasks and practice based on stage of learning
- attention perception and prediction are key abilities for learning and improving motor skills
- when necessary, provide compensatory or subsitution strategies such as using other sensory systems, scanning, verbalization and supplemental cues, feedback and memory aids such as setting reminders and written instructions
8
Q
impairments
cardiopulmonary
A
- incorporate physical and aerobic exercise and the ACSM guidelines
9
Q
impairments
integumentary
A
- monitor skin in individuals with mobility limitations
- prevent secondary complications by addressing pressure relief circulation and skin care
10
Q
impairments
behavioral/psychosocial
A
- frame therapy sessions to enhance motivation, autonomy and expectation of success as they are strongly assoicated with improved outcomes
- refer the patient when mood or psychological or social barriers interfere with participation
11
Q
Task activity
what is required for success: static balance
A
- maintaining steady COM within BOS
- progress from large BOS and low COM to a smaller BOS and higher COM
- add UE movement, external perturbation , unstable surface, closed eyes, dual task
12
Q
task activity
what is required for success: dynamic balance
A
- moving COM over BOS
- reaching close vs far vs overhead or to the floor, planar vs rotation
- stand to squat or up on toes
13
Q
task activity
what is required for success: mobility
Transitional mobility
A
- moving BOS: transitions
- supine to sit
- sit to stand
- floor to chair or stand
- walking, multidirectional stepping, running, stairs
14
Q
task activity
open vs closed
A
- self paced = closed or
- externally paced = open
15
Q
Object manipulation
A
- typically require conscious attention and can be used to create dual task challenges if performed as part of a stability or mobility activity
- new learners should explore the object’s properties in a low demand posture but progress to more challenging situations
