  2. adulthood followed by a decline as adults age
  3. Boys aged 4-12 years performed better than girls
  4. Children (7-8 years) showed no differences between hands, while adults showed superior proprioception in their dominant hand
22
Q

24
Q

What is the 4 year old test for Joint position sense (Hands) for NOMINATES for SENSATION for proprioception?

A
25
Q

What are the results for the Joint position sense (Hands) for Assessment of spatial perception in NOMINATES in SENSATION for proprioception?

A

Results of our research with primary school-°©aged children

  • Majority achieved near perfect accuracy scores
  • No difference in speed or accuracy between gender groups or hands
26
Q

What are the implications for the Joint position sense (Hands) for Assessment of spatial perception in NOMINATES in SENSATION for proprioception?

A

Presence of any errors by age 6 is an indication of decreased proprioceptive spatial perception

  • Children should be able to keep up

Q

What are the 2 types of SYMMETRY in SENSATION for proprioception?

A
  1. Extinction, hemiparesis, hemiplegia
  2. Localised hypersensitivity

Reduced somatosensory (difficulty registering or perceiving information)

35
Q

What are the characteristics of “Extinction, hemiparesis, hemiplegia” (1) and “Localised hypersensitivity”(1) for SYMMETRY in SENSATION for proprioception?

A
36
Q

What are the characteristics of “Poor/delayed position adjustments, looks/is uncomfortable” (2) and “Excessive position adjustment”(2) for ADJUST POSTURE in SENSATION for proprioception?

A
37
Q

What is the test for ADJUST POSTURE in SENSATION for proprioception?

A

Rhomberg Test (4 years +)

  • Proprioception, vestibular, tactile (feet)
38
Q

What is the procedure (4 steps) for Rhomberg Test (4 years +) ADJUST POSTURE in SENSATION for proprioception?

A
  1. Child stands erect with feet together and arms in front
  2. Stand for up to one 1 min eyes open, to demonstrate that senses are intact to maintain balance
  3. Then, stand up to 1 min with eyes closed (some books state 20-30 seconds only).
  4. Stay near the child for safety.
39
Q

What is the 3 results for Rhomberg Test (4 years +) ADJUST POSTURE in SENSATION for proprioception?

A
  1. Slight swaying is normal due to removal of vision.
  2. Children with proprioceptive problems become more unsteady with eyes closed.
  3. A positive Romberg sign is noted when irregular swaying or falling occurs. Catch the child before falling.
  • Note that compensation can occur through vestibular or tactile senses, so further testing may be required
  • Seeking –> moving the arms around
  • Contraction of limbs –> get more proprioception
  • Sway –> normal but not massive

A
44
Q

What are the 3 subjective clues for ADJUSTS, TUNES, INTEGRATES, OVERRIDES in SENSATION for proprioception?

A
  1. “He just can’t sit still on the mat with the other kids.”
  2. “She is always breaking toys.”
  3. “She is so slow with everything and needs to watch so closely.”
45
Q

What is the objective evidence for ADJUSTS, TUNES, INTEGRATES, OVERRIDES in SENSATION for proprioception?

A

Observation of functional tasks within the context of your assessment and other sensory findings

46

A
47
Q

What are 3 normal trajectories for NORMAL (impact of age on perception) for SENSATION for proprioception?

A
  1. Significant development of proprioceptive potential from birth
  2. Transitional period of development from 4-7 years sees a significant re-weighting towards proprioception in body awareness and positioning
    • From visually depended to proprioception development well
  3. Suggested that most basic proprioceptive skills are attained by 6-8 years
48
Q

What does contradictory conclusions on the impact on proprioception and motor function?

A

More about consistency (due to children of different ages)

  1. Different age groups assessed
  2. Different assessments performed to determine proprioceptive function
49
Q

How does proprioception preducts hand function?

A
50
Q

What is the treatment strategies for proprioception?

A
51
Q

What are 3 general principles for proprioceptive treatment?

A
  1. Be clear about what you are Rx
    • Perform Ax for re-°©test
  2. Use relevant strategies
    • Muscle (stretch, contract)
    • Joint (compress, distract, move)
    • Allow time to respond
  3. Enhance or withdraw?
  4. Stress proprioception (uneven surfaces, vision removed)
  5. Augment proprioception visually enhanced proprioception)
