Motor Traditional: Study Guide Flashcards
basic principles of traditional motor control treatment focus on what three things:
- exciting or inhibiting patterns
- normalizing postural tones
- promoting active control of movements
so NDT works on
manual techniques
NDT GOAL:
prevent or eliminate abnormal tone and coordination, return to normal movement
handling (in NDT) =
provides specific tactile, proprioceptive, and kinesthetic messages which help patient to organize quality of movement
what two things does NDT work on:
key points of control
and facilitation and inhibition
what are some (3) things we can do with facilitation in NDT:
- normalized tone
- activate automatic postural response (trunk control)
- re-educate on WB and non WB in arms and legs
what are some (4) things we can do with inhibitiation in NDT:
- decrease spasticity
- decrease reflex inhibiting patterns
- block abnormal patterns of movement
- fix abnormal tone and coordination
what four techniques do we focus on in NDT:
- WB
- trunk elongation
- trunk rotation
- scapular protraction
what is most effective in regulating tone:
WB
what is good for the client in WB:
it encourages client’s awareness of involved side
what are two techniques to normalize tone:
proper positioning
slow controlled movements
what are three things that Rudd and PNF have in common
- vital functions
- facilitation and inhibition of muscle function
- use reflex arc to supply sensory stimulation
what two things do we have to distinguish in the patient
stability and mobility
if a patient has problems with stability and mobility what do you check first?
Stability
