Q

examples of open loop control movements-

A

serving a volleyball, golf swing, righting urself after slipping on ice. Happens to fast to adjust during the action, so u have preprogrammed movement srategies u rely on and u evaluate how it went afterwards

Q 
what does each part of the brain do for reach and grasp?
motor cortex
cerebellum
midbrain
brainstem
A

MC: normal movement pattern, more imp. for precision grip, not power

Cerebellum: coordination of reach and grasp and anticipatory postural control

midbrain and brainstem: proximal mm in reach

Q

4 phases for lift

A

1) contact object
2) grip force and load force on fingers increase
3) load force overcomes wt. of object and it moves
4) end of lift- decrease in grip and load after object makes contact with surface

Q

what happens to grip as we age?

A

less ability to appropriately estimate grip force needed, more hand unsteadiness, slower reach times, etc.

Q

differentiate COM, COP, COG

A

COM: center of total body of mass
COP: center of distribution of total force applied to the supporting surface
COG: vertical projection of the COM.

Q

hip strategies

A

larger perturbations

21
Q

stepping strategy

A

largest perturbations

22
Q

mm activation with small backward movement of platform (ankle strategy)

A

person leans fwd
gastrocs first
hamstrings
paraspinals

23
Q

mm activation with small forward movement of the platform( ankle strategy)

A

person leans backward
tibialis anterior
quads
abdominals

24
Q

mm activation with LARGE backward movement of platform (hip strategy)

A

person bends fwd at waist
abs first
quads
paraspinals (to bring back up to neutral)

25
Q

mm activation with LARGE fwd movement of platform (hip strategy)

A

person arches back
paraspinals
hamstrings
abs (to bring back up to neutral)

26
Q

what sensory information is highly valued during quiet stance, but is not critical during perturbed stance?

A

vision

27
Q

mm ______ is more highly correlated to physical function than mm _______

A

power, strength

28
Q

spontaneous sway ________ with each decade of life

A

increases

29
Q

older adults have greater use of what strategies for balance

A

hip, skip ankle and go straight to hip!

30
Q

which sensory system is most valuable to older adults for balance?

A

vision, but mostly its a matter of more than one system being unavailable for consultation that causes the most problems.

31
Q

type of attention also known as vigilance

A

sustained attention- focus on one task for long periods of time

32
Q

switching attention

A

switching focus from one thing to another and then back again, not same as doing two things at once, ex of switching attention is when I was painting my spoons for the craft day and then carson wanted me to tie his shoe.

33
Q

card test used in clinics to measure attention switching

A

Wisconsin Card sorting task

34
Q

selective attention

A

ability to focus on the relative information in the presence of distractors

35
Q

test for measuring selective attention

A

Stroop Task
read the words aloud as fast as u can, the words are Red, Green, Yellow, first is congruent so the word Red is colored red etc, the next time its incongruent so the word Red is colored yellow and etc.

36
Q

divided attention

A

doing two things at once

37
Q

3 essential aspects of successful locomotion

A

progression
postural control
adaptation

38
Q

10 m walk measures what about gait?

A

velocity

39
Q

stride length

A

distance from one heel strike with R foot to second heel strike with R foot

40
Q

average walking speed for healthy adults

A

1.46 m/sec or 3.26 mi/hr

41
Q

mean step length

A

76.3 cm (30 in)

42
Q

mean cadence

A

1.9 steps /sec (112.5 steps/min)

43
Q

recovery from LOB takes place in a _____ to _____ sequence

A

distal to proximal

44
Q

first movement of COP when initiating gait is in what direction?

A

posterior to lateral toward swing limb

45
Q

transition to running reduces stress on …

A

DFs

46
Q

what accounts for largest number of public falls

A

stair descent

47
Q

when is greatest instability during stair climbing?

A

with contralateral toe-off when the ipsilateral leg takes all the body’s weight and the limb is flexed (takes 2x as much force than level gait) Foot clearance and placement are also crucial- Vision is crucial!

48
Q

4 phases of sit>stand

A

1) wt. shift or flexion momentum: flexion of the trunk,
2) beginning of lift: buttocks leave seat, most unstable phase!
3) lift/extension: extension of the hips and knees
4) stabilization: body stability is achieved

49
Q

3 strategies for sit>stand

A

1) momentum transfer strategy: 4 phases
2) zero-momentum strategy: flexing trunk to put COM over feet, more stable but need greater force from LEs.
3) armrests: assists in stability and force generation, however, not always an option
