Motor Contraints Flashcards
Ataxia is usually dt an issue with the
cerebellum
ataxia is an issue controlling
DOF
what should direct our tx
the motor control impairments themselves (not their dx)
tonic issues (hyper or hypo) are usually what kind of injury
cerebral cortex
weakness or sensory impairments are usually due to what kind of injur
cerebral cortex
parkinsons is a ___kinesia disorder
hypo
huntingtons is a ___ kinesia disorder
hyper
parkinsons and huntingtons are issues with what part of brain
BG
MS is usually an issue with what part of brain
cerebellum
Hughling Jacksons classifications of disorders
pos or neg
Pos - too much response (like increased DTR)
Neg - too little response (like hemiplegia)
primary vs secondary impairment
primary is direct impact from the insult or injury
secondary is a result of the insult (usually effects other sxs)
Motor impairments (e.g., spasticity, weakness)
Speech/language
Cognitive
Perceptual
Behavioral
Visual
(are these primary or secondary impairment)
primary
hemiplegia would be an ex of damage to the
cortex
movement disorders are usually dt damage to the
BG
loss of selective mvmt is damage to the
cortex itself
what is selective mvmt
fractionation - meaning you can fluidly reach to pick up a pen and your motions can be individualized and precice
loss of fractionation of mvmt or loss of selective mvmt would result in
synergystic mvmt (everything moves together always)
pyramid sx is the ___ sx
voluntary
extra pyramid sx is the sx of ___ and involves what structure
coordination
BG
6 components of the motor control framework
Initial cond Prep Initiation Execution Terminate Outcome
the motor planning part of the framework
preparation
amplitude, direction, speed are all parts of what component of the framework
execution
the ability to generate tension is __
strength (depends on number and type of fibers recruited)
strength vs tone
strength is active resistance
tone is passive resistance
absence of tone (2 terms for)
hypotonia
flaccid
highest rating of hypertonicity is
rigidity
