incorporate sequential developmental positions one following by the other

118
Q

what are the key points of control?

A

head and trunk

humeral head

thumb

hip and femur

sternum and low back

119
Q

how do we use the head and trunk as key point of control?

A

head and trunk flexion decreases shoulder retraction, trunk and limb extension

how do we use the humeral head as a key point of control?

A

humeral head ER and flexion to 90 degrees decrease flexion tone of the UE

Q

during Brunnstrom phase 3, what is the goal of intervention?

A

use as many reflex inhibiting postures as possible

decrease the influence of any clinical hypertonicity

try to facilitate more normal active motor recruitment

133
Q

during Brunnstrom phase 4, what is the goal of interventions?

A

trying to maximize fxn

active motor recruitment

may try to make mov’t “pretty” with error augmentation

134
Q

when would we NOT want to try to implement error augmentation for intervention?

A

when a pt is in marked spasticity

135
Q

during Brunnstrom phase 5, what is the goal of intervention?

A

strengthening

136
Q

when can we start normal strengthening in interventions with stroke recovery?

A

when the pt is outside of synergistic influence

137
Q

what are the 5 steps in changes structures though function?

A

1) prepare the brain (prime the pump)

2) prepare the body

3) promote e recovery (task specific training)

4) repeat, repeat, repeat (experience dependent plasticity)

5) transference and interference

5)

138
Q

what is inhibition facilitation?

A

preventing or redirecting components of mov’t that are unnecessary and interfere w/intentional, coordinated mov’t

139
Q

do we have more control over the underlying spasticity or the clinical hypertonicity?

A

clinical hypertonicity

140
Q

when inhibiting tone, what steps do we have to take?

A

1) know what mov’t you want, ask for it, and make certain you get it (promote positive plasticity)

2) make every mov’t count in your session (and instruct the same for home) (avoid negative plasticity)

141
Q

when inhibiting tone, if you don’t get what you want immediately, what should you do?

A

change what you’re doing (hands, technique, position, environment, task)

142
Q

how do we do mov’t and task analysis?

A

break down (deconstruct) a fxnal activity into its component parts to understand and evaluate the demands of the task

143
Q

what is involved in step 1, prepping the brain?

A

aerobic activity of moderate to high intensity to increase neurotrophin production and increase post stroke neuroplasticity and recovery of cognitive and motor processes

144
Q

what are the 3 “ingredients” for increased neurotrophin production during moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise?

A

1) brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)

2) insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)

3) nerve growth factor (NGF)

145
Q

what does brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) do?

A

synapse formation and neuronal growth

146
Q

what does insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) do?

A

promotes better recovery

147
Q

what does nerve growth factor (NGF) do?

A

promotes growth and survival of sensory and sympathetic neurons

148
Q

what is involved in increasing post stroke neuroplasticity and recovery of cognitive and motor processes?

A

synaptogenesis in multiple brain regions

dendritic branching or arborization (only with moderate intensity exercise)

149
Q

what is involved in step 2, prepping the body?

A

biomechanical alignment (esp the pelvis and feet stable on the ground)

adequate stability

150
Q

we need to ensure the pt has adequate stability to allow for what?

A

distal mobility

controlled mobility

transitional mobility

151
Q

t/f: distal mobility requires proximal trunk stability

A

true

152
Q

how do we get controlled mobility?

A

by controlling mov’t w/in a position

weight shifting to the limits of stability

153
Q

how do we get transitional mobility?

A

by controlling as the COG changes from position to position or task to task

154
Q

what is activities/positions are involved in transitional mobility?

A

sit to stands

tall kneeling and half kneeling

gait pattern control

155
Q

how do we ensure appropriate muscular tone/activity?

A

inhibition of clinical hypertonicity

reduce the effects of spasticity or rigidity

facilitating normal muscle tonus or active motor output

156
Q

why should we avoid “splinter” exercises like LAQ and SAQ in stroke rehab?

A

bc they are ortho focused interventions that are targeting muscle strength, while in stroke rehab we need to target normal motor recruitment
