Q

What is motor re-learning?

A
  • High number of repetitions performed frequently
  • performed in a context-specific environment
  • specific feedback is provided
  • part vs whole of the task practiced
  • grading difficulty
  • record results - repetitions, accuracy, time taken
  • manual guidance

19
Q

What is flaccidity?

A

Absence of tone

20
Q

What is hypotonicity?

A

decreased normal muscle tone

21
Q

What is hypertonicity?

A

Increased muscle tone which is not typically velocity dependent

22
Q

What is spasticity?

A

Motor disorder characterised by a velocity dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes

23
Q

What is clonus?

A

A type of spasticity present in clients with moderate to severe spasticity, characterised by repetitive contractions in the antagonistic muscles in response to rapid stretch

24
Q

What is rigidity?

A

Simultaneous increase in muscle tone of agonist and antagonist muscles, not velocity dependent

25
Q

What are the 4 types of rigidity?

A
  1. Lead-pipe
  2. Cogwheel
  3. Decorticate
  4. Decerebate
26
Q

What is dystonia?

A

Persistent posture of a body part or severely distorted movement pattern

27
Q

What is Ataxia?

A

delayed initiation of movement responses, errors in range and force of movement, jerky and poorly controlled movements

28
Q

What is Adiadochokinesis?

A

Inability to perform rapid alternating movements such as pronation/supination

29
Q

What is Dysdiadokinesia?

A

impaired ability to perform rapid movement

30
Q

What is Nystagmus?

A

involuntary movement of the eyeballs in an up and down, back and forth or rotating direction

31
Q

What is Dysarthria?

A

Slurred speech caused by incoordination of the speech mechanism

32
Q

What is the Tardieu scale?

A

Measures resistance to slow and rapid passive movement

33
Q

How do you test for coordination?

A

Finger to nose

34
Q

How do you test for dysdiadokinesia?

A

Rapid supination and pronation of hands and forearm repeatedly

35
Q

What is used to measure grip strength?

A

a dynamometer

36
Q

What are protective senses?

A

light touch, pressure, pain and temperature

37
Q

What are discriminative senses?

A

stereognosis, proprioception, kinaesthesia and sensory inattention

38
Q

What are the 2 phases of UL movement analysis?

A
  1. Reaching
    Pre-shaping phase - anticipatory shape of hand, position of thumb and finders
    Transporting phase - transporting the arm and hand to the goal
  2. Grasp - in hand manipulation
39
Q

What is the Purdue pegboard?

A

Measures dexterity for two types of activity, one involving the gross movement of the arms, hands, and fingers, and the other in primarily fingertip dexterity.

40
Q

What clients can the Purdue pegboard be used with?

A

Clients of all ages, clients with stroke, brain damage

41
Q

How long does it take to administer the Purdue pegboard?

A

5 to 10 minutes

42
Q

What is motor re-learning?

A

43
Q

What is constraint induced movement therapy?

A

involves restraint of the unaffected limb to increase use of the affected limb

44
Q

What is Functional electrical stimulation?

A

uses a burst of short electrical pulses to generate muscle contraction by stimulating motor neurons or reflex pathways
