Q

T/F - patients who demonstrate sufficient recovery and consistent voluntary movement controls WOULD benefit from an intensive hands-on training approach?

A

False - these patients are candidates for functional task-oriented training that emphasizes active control.

Q

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?

A
  • once the patient develops adequate voluntary control.

Q

What is activation?

A

refers to the actual production of a movement response and implies reaching a critical threshold level of neuronal firing.

Q

What is inhibition?

A
  • 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

Q

T/F - NMES is effective in reducing spasticity by stimulating antagonist muscles?

A

true

17
Q

When using NMES where are the electrodes to be placed?

A

directly over the muscle to be stimulated

18
Q

The device can be used for foot drop or with ergometry (biking) in SCI that is programmed in sequence to improve functional movements?

A

functional electrical stimulation (FES)

19
Q

T/F - FES can be used for restorative or compensatory treatment strategies?

A

true

20
Q

In neuro-developmental treatment (NDT) ________ control is the foundation for all skilled learning.

A

postural

21
Q

How do patients learn postural control and movement according to the neuro-developmental treatment (NDT) approach?

A
  • through a sequence of progressively ore challenging postures and activities.
22
Q

What are the shoulder pelvis hands and feet important in the NDT approach?

A
  • they are key points of control used in physical handling techniques.
23
Q

T/F - NDT use both feedback and feed-forward mechanisms to support postural control?

A

true

24
Q

T/F - NDT avoids compensatory training strategies?

A

true

25
Q

With NDT postural alignment and stability are ___________ while ________ synergy movements are _______.

A

facilitated; abnormal; inhibited

26
Q

This intervention strategy is to help the patient perform an old task in a new way.

A

compensatory intervention strategy

27
Q

What types of patients should you be using compensatory strategies with?

A
  • when recovery is limited
  • if patient has severe impairments with little or no expectations for recovery
  • SCI, stroke patient who also has Alzheimer’s
28
Q

(3) goals/outcomes when using compensatory intervention strategy for promoting independence?

A
  • energy conservation techniques are taught
  • patient’s environment is adapted appropriately
  • assistive devices are incorporated as needed
29
Q

If your patient has recovery potential should you use compensatory intervention strategies?

A

no
