MC: Functional Movements Flashcards
Rolling: Momentum Strategy
- generates momentum by initiating motion by head, lead shoulder and trunk
- either simultaneous or immediately followed by lead UE reaching
- the lead leg may be lifted and rotated over the opposite leg
First Common Form of Rolling
Arm pattern: lift and reach above shoulder level
HT pattern: shoulder girdle leads
Leg pattern: unilateral lift
Third common form of rolling
Arm pattern: lift and reach above shoulder level
HT pattern: shoulder girdle leads
Leg pattern: bilateral lift
Rolling: Force-control Strategy
- pt pushes with LE either in a flexed/semi-flexed position which propels the body to side lying
- flexion of the shoulder, head, trunk and lead UE assists in the motion
Second common form of rolling
Arm pattern: lift and reach above shoulder level
HT pattern: shoulder girdle leads
Leg pattern: unilateral push with far side leg
First common form of supine to standing
UE pattern: symmetrical push
Axial pattern: symmetrical
LE pattern: symmetrical squat
Second common form of supine to standing
UE pattern: symmetrical push
Axial pattern: symmetrical
LE pattern: asymmetrical squat
Third common form of supine to standing
UE pattern: asymmetrical push and reach
Axial pattern: partial rotation
LE pattern: half kneel -> stand
Kids: First common form of supine to standing
UE pattern: asymmetrical push
Axial pattern: forward with rotation
LE pattern: asymmetrical wide-based squat
Supine to Erect Stance
- Symmetrical form of rising seems to require the greatest control of direction and force production
- in older adults and young children, transitional points (points for attaining balance) are more common
- those with less balance, partition movement into discrete components
Sit to stand: task
- task - moving the COM from BOS defined by buttock to the BOS define by the feet
- Butt and feet -> feet
- Wide BOS -> narrow BOS
Sit to stand – Variability
- Change ht of chair/table
- If they cannot start normal…raise the ht
- Refining the chair and pt’s knees/feet placement
- Armrests
- Novo experience -> try different ways to get up if they haven’t tried it before in therapy
STS: Momentum Strategy
- requires at least a certain amount of speed and no breaks in the motion
- Accelerate then decelerate the COM
STS: Force Strategy
- characterized by frequent stops
- trunk generates force to bring the COM over the BOS (trunk flexion so over knees)
- Stop or nearly stop
- Then LE forces lift the body to the vertical position
- Atypical movement strategy
Momentum Strategy [ all one movement]: Phase 1
Flexion-Momentum Phase
- begins with movement initiation and ends just before buttock lift-off
- Balls of feet behind knees
- weight shift COM horizontal
- erector spinae – eccentric control of forward momentum
- -Flexors will still have to work
Momentum Strategy [ all one movement]: Phase 2
Momentum-Transfer Phase
- begins as the buttock is lifted and ends with maximum ankle dorsiflexion
- transfer of momentum from upper body to total body (lift) (horizontal and vertical motion)
- co-activation of the hip and knee extensors
Momentum Strategy [ all one movement]: Phase 3
Extension Phase
- Begins just after maximum DF and ends when the hips first cease to extend (including leg and trunk extension)
- lift or extension phase - extension of hips and knees
- moves body vertical
Momentum Strategy [ all one movement]: Phase 4
Stabilization Phase
-Begins after hip extension is reached and ends when all motion associated with stabilization is completed
Momentum Strategy requires (2 items)
- requires generation of concentric forces to propel the body
- requires generation of eccentric forces to control the motion of the body
Momentum Strategy: Safety
- can result in a backward fall especially if the pt tries to transfer momentum from the trunk to the legs for the vertical lift before the COM is sufficiently forward over the feet
- -Rushing Stage 1and 2, not getting COM over BOS -> fall backwards
- -Could also be early extension bc increased extension tone
- can result in a forward fall especially if the pt is unable to control the horizontal forces at the end of the STS movement (continued forward acceleration is not stopped by eccentric posterior trunk, HS and GS muscles)
- -Accelerate too much and decelerate too late
