Margret Johnstone approach Flashcards
The most important feature and difference of Margaret Johnston technique is?
The usage of pressure splints for the inhibition effect of spasticity in treatment
Johnstone Approach; It is based on the redevelopment of controlled movement in response to reflex activity
true or false?
true
the presence of severe hypotonus, a hypertonus developing in the antigravity muscles is seen first with?
fingers into flexion
Hemiplegia rehabilitation should start from ?
the spinal reflex level and continue until the cortical level is reached
The therapist should maintain an inhibitory effect on hypertonic motor neurons until ?
the postural reflex mechanism is gained and the cortical inhibitory effect is restored
Side lying position; flexor tone is inhibited
true or false?
false, extensor
when Supine position and neck extension position is used?
when extensor tone in the arm needs to be increased
. If the higher centers of the brain are impaired in receiving sensory stimuli, they must be strengthened by what?
additional stimulation from the proprioceptors.
what can Pressure splints inhibit ?
dominant reflex
treatment program starts from proximal then distal
true or false?
true
what is the antispastic position?
arm should be mobilized in external rotation and the leg in internal rotation.
pressure in the splints should not exceed 60 mmHg
true or false?
false, 40 mmhg
pressure splints should be applied in inhibitory positions.
true or false?
true
which scale is used for muscle tone?
Mod. Ashworth
Sensory disturbance is mostly seen in dominant side.
true or false?
false, non-dominant
one sided denial is?
Anosognosia
before how much pressure splints should be placed?
before 30 min
Providing muscle relaxation with autogenic inhibition by stimulating what?
golgi tendon organ
to prevent associated reactions While exercising with the upper extremity, the lower extremity MUST BE placed in a splint.
true or false?
true
. Shoulder protraction and wrist inhibition exercises are sone in which positions?
side lying position
To inhibit the flexor pattern of the fingers and wrist, patient is lying on the healthy side
true or false?
false, lying on his hemiplegic side
In this position, with his hand looking up, PT presses down with his hand
how Stretching to Latissimus Dorsi is done?
both arms in 90 flexion with elbow extension in side lying position
Exercises in the prone position should be performed in?
front of the mirror
Learning the bilateral activity is harder for the patient
true or false?
false, easier
