Midterm Flashcards
When do you perform PROM?
Before MMT
What do you do if there is a limitation in the AROM?
Immediately test PROM
What do end feels tell you?
Where the individual is limited
What factors affect ROM?
Age and gender
Why do females tend to be more mobile?
Primarily due to hormones
What is passive insufficiency?
Inability to lengthen and allow full ROM across all joints it crosses
Which muscle group do you need enough lengthening in in order to see proper ROM?
Antagonist
What is therapeutic exercise used for?
Aerobic conditioning and reconditioning
Muscle performance - IE. strength, power, and endurance
Stretching
Neuromuscular control - IE. inhibition/facilitation techniques (hyper and hypotonicity)
Postural control, body mechanics, and stabilization
Balance exercises and agility
Relaxation, breathing, ventilatory muscle training
Task specific, functional training
What is the role of TherEx?
Reduce risk factors
Manage/treat pathophysiologic or pathologic condition
Manage/treat impairment
Reduce/eliminate functional limitations
Use task specific training
What should you not assume when intervening at the impairment level?
That reducing impairment generally means improvement of functional limitations and restores functional ADLs
What are the categories of disability prevention?
1st degree - health promotion, at risk population
2nd degree - early dx and reduction of severity and duration
3rd degree - use of rehab to reduce or limit progress
What are buffers of disability prevention?
Interventions aimed to reduce progression of pathology, impairment, limitation, or disability
IE. A regular exercise program/removing barriers
What are three important aspects of functional outcomes?
Must be:
- Meaningful
- Practical
- Sustainable
What are key effective exercise instruction strategies?
Acquisition and retention
Measured by observation and analysis
Adherence to exercise
What are the three types of motor tasks?
- Discrete
- Serial
- Continuous
What is a discrete task?
Movement that has a recognizable beginning and end
IE. Grasping an object
What is a serial task?
Task complete in a series of discrete movements
IE. Eat with a fork, WC transfers
What is a continuous task?
Repetitive uninterrupted movements and have no distinct beginning and end
What are the three stages of motor learning?
- Cognitive
- Associative
- Autonomous
What is the cognitive stage?
Novice learner
Learning the what and how
Errors are common
Feeling the exercise and understanding intensity/alignment/speed
What is the associative stage?
Making few errors and concentrate on fine tuning
Understand the when/where
What is the autonomous stage?
Understand and adapt different variables
Pt is usually discharged before this stage of learning
What are the categories of practice order?
- Blocked
- Random
- Block/random
What is blocked practice order?
Same conditions
Cognitive stage
More successful at ACQUIRING
What is random practice order?
Changing the environment
Less predictable
Hand in hand with cognitive stage
Better for RETENTION
What is blocked/random practice order?
Also helps with RETENTION and to transfer skill
At least two repetitions before changing the skill
IE. Sit to stand x5 at one height, sit to stand x5 a little higher, next 5x but put an unstable surface under the feet, etc
What is intrinsic feedback?
Comes from the learner (patient), NOT PTA
What is extrinsic or augmented feedback?
PTA controls type, timing and frequency of feedback
Given during or after regarding knowledge of performance and/or results
Start with extrinsic before intrinsic can be achieved
Examples - hands on, demo, verbalize
What are the various types of schedule-timing feedback?
Concurrent - “real time”
Immediate, postresponse - during initial learning
Delayed - after each rep
Summary - after several trials
What does KP stand for?
Knowledge of performance
What does KR stand for?
Knowledge of results
- After they performed a task give feedback
- Better for retention
What is schedule-frequency feedback?
“Less is more/better”
Variable over continuous to help with RETENTION
Decrease it - promote problem solving, self-monitoring and correction
What factors can influence adherence to an exercise program?
- Pt related factors - motivation, understanding, changes, time, stress, culture, age, sex, etc
- Factors related to health condition or impairment
- Program-related variables - program atmosphere, social support, individualized attention
What does SDOH stand for?
Social determinants of health
Where is the greatest loss in capsular pattern of the GH jt?
ER followed by ABD
