Lecture 5 - Facilitation, Sensory, Stimulation, NDT Flashcards
What are the two popular neuromotor training approaches?
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
2. Neuro-development Treatment (NDT)
T/F - patients who demonstrate sufficient recovery and consistent voluntary movement controls WOULD benefit from an intensive hands-on training approach?
False - these patients are candidates for functional task-oriented training that emphasizes active control.
What patients are good candidates for hands-on guided therapy approach(s)?
- stroke or TBI patients who are early in recovery and have limited voluntary movement abilities.
When using hands-on guided approaches with your patient when do you know when its time to progress to more functional task-oriented training focused on active control?
- once the patient develops adequate voluntary control.
Interventions organized around a __________ goal are the best way to promote function versus targeting a specific impairment.
behavioral
Remediate impairments through ___________ ______.
functional activity
What are the (6) neuromuscular facilitation techniques?
- resistance
- quick stretch
- tapping/repeated quick stretch
- prolonged stretch
- joint approximation
- joint traction
What is facilitation?
refers to the enhanced capacity to initiate a movement response through increased neuronal activity and altered synaptic potential.
What is activation?
refers to the actual production of a movement response and implies reaching a critical threshold level of neuronal firing.
What is inhibition?
- refers to the decreased capacity to initiate movement response through altered synaptic potential.
- the synaptic threshold is raised, making it more difficult for the neuron to fire
What is neuromuscular facilitation?
refers to facilitation, activation, or inhibition of muscle contraction and motor response
What are the (7) sensory stimulation techniques?
- maintained pressure
- slow, repetitive stroking
- light touch
- neutral warmth
- prolonged cooling
- slow vestibular stimulation
- rapid vestibular stimulation
What patient would benefit from biofeedback?
- patients with server motor weakness (asset in regaining neuromuscular control)
- patients who exhibit weak (trace, poor, or fair) muscle grades
- patients with deficient sensory feedback systems
Biofeedback MUST be paired with __________ training.
functional
What can be used to re-educate muscle, improve ROM, decrease edema and treat disuse atrophy?
neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
