Misc. Midterms Notes Flashcards
why are the PNF patterns so great to use?
-promoting normal movement patterns - diagonals and rotational movements
postural sway
body is constantly correcting
approximation
putting shoulder into glenoid fossa
traction
bones are separating
PNF and NDT both use ____ and ____ to stimulate joint receptors and movement
approximation and traction
describe the eval. for shoulder subluxation.
amount of fingers in between
name the 2 interventions for shoulder subluxation.
- approximation
- support upper limb
the theoretical bases for treatment are based in what?
learning principles (feedback, practice)
why do we want trunk rotation?
no dissociation when reaching
static theory is used to describe what?
underlying skill areas that are assessed during eval. process
dynamic theory is used to describe what?
learning/change process - used during treatment to promote change in UIAs
ankle and hip strategies are an example of which type of postural control mechanism?
compensatory/feedback mechanism
which SC tracts regulate extensor muscle tone?
descending SC tracts
which SC tracts regulate somatosensory input for balance (proprioception)
ascending SC tracts
too much reciprocal inhibition leads to what?
high tone
GTO prevents muscle from doing what?
too forceful of a contraction
spasticity is due to what of the tonic stretch reflex?
hyperexcitability
LMN lesions leads to what type of deep tendon reflexes?
hyporeflexive/absent
UMN lesions leads to what type of deep tendon reflexes?
hyperreflexive
force coupling of deltoid and RC muscles contributes to what?
dynamic stabilization of GH joint
resting hand splints are used for which motions?
flex wrist to extend the fingers (compromise wrist extension to get finger extension)
describe wrist cock up splints.
- do not immobilize active finger movement if present.
- consider this if pt. has active finger motion.
no underlying muscle tone
flaccidity
some slight muscle tone
hypotonicity
knowledge of results is feedback of the what?
outcome after completing a task
knowledge of performance is feedback on what?
qualitative descriptors of the performance
when is the point of instability during sit to stand?
transition phase (point when thighs come off surface)
