M1 L5a: Ax SENSATION Principles Flashcards
What does CHART stand for?
- Chart
- History – subjective assessment with child and parent
- Examination -ˇ PASSWORD to PRACTICE manual
- Confer – ask teacher/other
- Knowledge – what do the child/family understand about sensation?
What does S stand for in SENSATION?
Senses (registers / detects / notices) stimuli from all senses
What are 2 types of “SENSES” in SENSATION?
- Low registration (doesn’t detect certain stimuli)
- Hypersensitivity (over sensitive to certain stimuli)
What are 4 characteristics of “Low registration (doesn’t detect certain stimuli)” for “SENSE” in SENSATION?
- Visual acuity
- Tactile registration
- Hot/cold
- Movement sense
What is a characteristic of “Hypersensitivity (over sensitive to certain stimuli)” for “SENSE” in SENSATION?
What does “E” stand for in SENSATION?
Engages appropriately with sensory tasks &/or environments
What are 2 types of “ENAGES” in SENSATION?
- Avoids / dislikes
- Over-seeks / Perseverates
What are 5 characteristics of “Avoids / dislikes” for “ENGAGES” in SENSATION?
- Sounds
- Sights
- Touches / textures
- Movements
- Tastes
What is a characteristic of “Over-seeks / Perseverates” for “ENGAGES” in SENSATION?
What does “N” stand for in SENSATION?
Nominates (perceives) meaning of a stimulus location, timing & special characteristics (e.g. colour)
What are 2 types of “NOMINATES” in SENSATION?
- Unable to perceive elements
- Unable to supress irrelevant stimuli
What are 3 characteristics of “Unable to perceive elements” for “NOMINATES” in SENSATION?
- Spatial location
- Temporal (timing)
- Special characteristics (e.g. colour, texture)
What is a characteristics of “Unable to supress irrelevant stimuli” for “NOMINATES” in SENSATION?
What does “S” (2) stand for in SENSATION?
Symmetry in registration & perception of sensory information
What are 2 types of “SYMMETRY” in SENSATION?
- Extinction or hemisensory loss
- Localised hypersensitivity
What are 5 characteristics of “Extinction or hemisensory loss” for “SYMMETRY” in SENSATION?
- Vision
- Proprioception
- Tactile
- Auditory
- Vestibular
- Eg. Brain injuries, amputations
What is a characteristics of “Localised hypersensitivity” for “SYMMETRY” in SENSATION?
Eg. hypersensitivity around the stump (after amputation)
What does “A” stand for in SENSATION?
Adjusts posture in response to sensory information
What are 2 types of “Adjust” in SENSATION?
- Poor/delayed position adjustments, looks/is uncomfortable
- Exaggerated / excessive position adjustment
What are 4 characteristics of “Poor/delayed position adjustments, looks/is uncomfortable” for “ADJUST” in SENSATION?
What is a characteristic of “Exaggerated / excessive position adjustment” for “ADJUST” in SENSATION?
What does “T” stand for in SENSATION?
Tunes movement in response to sensory information
- Control force, timing of the movement
What are 2 types of “TUNES” in SENSATION?
- Under-responds to stimuli
- Over-responds to stimuli
What is a characteristic of “Under-responds to stimuli” for “TUNES” in SENSATION?
What is a characteristic of “Over-responds to stimuli” for “TUNES” in SENSATION?
Takes off too soon –> have no used auditory cue and have now over-responded
What does “I” stand for SENSATION?
Integrates multi-sensory information for movement control
- Need to weight the sensory stimuli to respond to the most important one
- (eg. using eyes to balance and now is not watching ball as she is not using proprioception to balance)
- Compensation: poor proprioception –> use vision to compensate –> not enough vision for catch the ball
What are 2 types of “INTEGRATES” in SENSATION?
- Under use of certain sensory information
- Over use of certain sensory information
What is a characteristic of “Under use of certain sensory information” for “INTEGRATES” in SENSATION?
What is a characteristic of “Over use of certain sensory information” for “INTEGRATES” in SENSATION?
Using visual to write (where hand is in space)
- Diverting focus of vision used for writing to position of hands
What does “O” stand for SENSATION?
Overrides instances of sensory conflict
What are 2 types of “OVERRIDES” in SENSATION?
- Unresolved sensory conflict / bias towards one system
- Resolves conflict appropriately
What is a characteristic of “Over use of certain sensory information” for “INTEGRATES” in SENSATION?
What is a characteristic of “Resolves conflict appropriately” for “INTEGRATES” in SENSATION?
What does “N” stand for in SENSATION?
Normal performance & progression of skills for age/condition
What are 2 types of “NORMAL” in SENSATION?
- Delayed / ineffective / unsafe – poor control, accidental injury
- Confidence outweighs competence – low fear avoidance, risky
What is a characteristic of “Delayed / ineffective / unsafe – poor control, accidental injury” for “NORMAL” in SENSATION?
What is a characteristic of “Confidence outweighs competence – low fear avoidance, risky” for “NORMAL” in SENSATION?
