Midterm Rehab PNF

Question 1

What type of patient would benefit from NDT

Answer 1

Patients who had a stroke/cerebral palsy and had abnormal tone (spasticity) and postural reflexes

Question 2

What type of patient would benefit from PNF

Answer 2

Has been used to treat patients with both neuromuscular and musculoskeletal deficits.

Question 3

Considers weakness, decreased ROM, impaired tone, impaired communication.
Use sensory stimulation during treatment.
Facilitate postural alignment and decrease excessive tone.
Postural control is the foundation for all skill learning.

Answer 3

NDT

Question 4

Replicates normal movement patterns.
Teach the pattern from starting position to terminal position.
Verbal cues used to enhance pt. performance.

Question 13

Isotonic contraction; first agonist then antagonist. Start with strong pattern

Answer 13

Dynamic reversal (slow reversals)

Question 14

Alternate isotonic contractions agonist and antagonist: very limited ROM

Answer 14

Stabilizing reversals

Question 15

Alternate isometric contractions; agon/antag, no

motion is allowed

Answer 15

Rhythmic Stabilization (RS)

Question 16

Repeated contractions from lengthened range, induce by quick stretches, perform through range or at weak point

Answer 16

Repeated Stretch (Repeat Contractions) (RC)

Question 17

Resisted isotonic contraction of agonist through range, stabilizing contraction and then eccentric contraction back to start position.

Answer 17

Combination of Isotonics(Agonist Reversals) (AR)

Question 18

Start with passive movement and progress to A-A motion then active motion, then resistive

Answer 18

Rhythmic Initiation (RI)

Question 19

Usually use at point of limited range in agonist pattern
Do small range isotonic contraction of antagonists, follow with isometric hold for 5-8 sec then relax and move into new range of agonist pattern

Answer 19

Contract Relax (CR)

Question 20

Start in position of comfort; below level of pain
Strong isometric contraction of antagonists is resisted and then have voluntary relaxation, passive motion into new range

Answer 20

Hold Relax (HR)

Question 21

Position patient in shortened range, hold position (isometric), follow with voluntary relaxation and passive movement into lengthened range, then followed by active movement back to end point (resistance offered)

Answer 21

Replication (HRA)

Question 22

Stretch, approximation and tracking resistance applied to facilitate pelvic motion and progression during locomotion; light resistance

Answer 22

Resisted Progression (RP)

Question 23

Slow repeated rotation of a limb where limitation is noticed. As muscles relax, limb is moved slowly

Answer 23

Rhythmic Rotation (Rro)
