Q

How was gait proven as the 6th vital sign?

A

Studies compared survival using the combinations of

age, sex, gaitspeed
Age, sex, asssitive device,
Age, sex chronic conditions, smoking, BMI, Hospitalization

Q

How does supported treadmill ambulation help patients

A

Reduces gravity, postural instability, and protects against inadequate balance reactions

Helps motor learning w/ repetition that’s less asymmetrical than over ground

Allows PT to challenge patient in ways they can’t when they’re busy supporting the patient

A

Important

21
Q

Are these essential, important, or accessory for walking:

Cerebellum, red nucleus, substantia Nigra, limbic cortex

A

Important

22
Q

Are these essential, important, or accessory for walking:

Motor cerebral cortex

Pyramid tract

A

Accessory

23
Q

Why is the medial medullary reticular formation essential for walking

A

Final integrative center for locomotion before the spinal cord

Driving center for locomotion in all animals

Provides drive to CPG in spinal cord

Interlink coordination that provides feedback to detect symmetry and asymmetry

24
Q

How can PTs modify gait training to influence the medial medullary reticular formation more

A

Increasing the speed

Faster = more feedback provided to cerebellum via stretch sensitive muscle receptors

25
Q

Why is the mesencephalic locomotor region essential for gait

A

Area may modulate speed of walking

May be involved in exploratory locomotion

26
Q

Why is the subthalamic locomotor region essential to gait

A

Responsible for spontaneous goal directed gait

27
Q

What do the “important” gait structures in the brain do?

A

Interact with regions that are essential to determine:

  • Timing of swing/stance
  • Detection of sensory gains during walking
  • Coordination
  • Motivation to walk
28
Q

What part of the brain controls “motivation to walk”

A

Hippocampus

29
Q

What might the cerebral cortex do to help with gait that makes it an accessory structure

A

May influence timing, initiation, transition of swing/ stance, and positioning of foot

Cortex may also interfere with walking if attention is required for another task

30
Q

What are the three key inputs to central pattern generators

If these do not happen, walking does not happen!

A

Stretch of hip flexors

Unweighting of triceps surae (hamstrings)

Weight bearing to facilitate extensor tone in stance limb (muscle receptors in hamstring, pressure receptors in foot, and joint receptors)

31
Q

What input resets the central pattern generator

A

Stretch of hip flexors

32
Q

What input gives the leg permission to take a step in the CPG

A

unweighting of triceps surae

33
Q

What phases of gait does hip extension occur in to trigger the swing phase via activation of the muscle spindles

What spinal cord segments are important for this?

A

Mid stance to heel off (AKA the key phase of gait)

L2 L3 L4

34
Q

When walking, the COM is outside of the BOS what percent of the time?

A

80%

35
Q

How can a patient progress on a lokomat

A

Increase speed, time

Decrease BW support, decrease guidance forces

Can adjust R and L sides independently

36
Q

What is the max speed on the lokomat?

A

2mph

Manually assisted gait training can achieve higher speeds

37
Q

Why is it important for the patient to wear as little as possible on the foot during gait training (no big heeled shoes)

A

So the patient gets tactile feedback from their feet about their gait mechanics

38
Q

How fast should a patient move on a treadmill

How symmetrical should their limb movement be

A

As fast as possible

As symmetric as possible

39
Q

How can learned nonuse of a limb occur

A

Overuse of other UE, compensation

May start with decreased sensation and motor abilities post stroke (initially )

40
Q

How can CIMT help learned nonuse

A

Use dependent or treatment-induced cortical reorganization can occur with appropriate aggressive treatment

41
Q

Cortical reorganization that helps learned nonuse comes from _______ practice and requires high ______

A

Massed practice - several hours every day

Requires high motivational drive and concentration

42
Q

How does CIMT work?

A

Learned nonuse masked the recovery of limb
V
Increase patient motivation
V
Affected UE is used
V
Provide reinforcement
V
Further practice <-> user dependent cortical reorganization
V
Learned nonuse is reversed and UE is used in life situations permanently

43
Q

What are the absolute requirements of candidates for CIMT treatment

A

Extent wrist 10-20 degrees

Extend atleast 2 fingers

Ability to understand and follow directions

44
Q

What are the components of the CIMT protocol

A

Repetitive task training

Adherence enhancing behavioral strategies

Constrained use of less affected UE

45
Q

How does CIMT achieve constrained use of less involved UE

A

mitt restraint with a sensor to document wearing time

46
Q

What did Grotta JC et al test in their study on UE function post CVA

A

Intervention group has constraint of less affected UE and unilateral UE training

control group received bilateral therapy

Found that forced use works to improve motor function

47
Q

What did the EXCITE trial test?

A

CIMT in stroke survivors

Significant improvement seen in
Wolf motor function test
Motor activity log
Stroke impact scale

48
Q

What are drawbacks to robotic assisted locomotor training in adults

A

Time lost due to set up

Deconditioning

49
Q

What did Lang C find with research into dosing and timing for plasticity and participation

A

Pt randomized into 100, 200, 300, or individualized max rep groups for UE task

All groups besides 200 reps saw significant improvement

Proved more is not always better

90% of patients saw meaningful change

Did not change use of UE at home
