Movement Analysis_Altered Muscle Tone Flashcards
Hypotonia often use ___________ as props
extremities
Hypotonia - primary problem
lack of coactivation leads to poor grading of motor performance
Why do children with hypotonia depend on ligamentous stability?
often use extremities as props
Children with hypotonia can ____________ but not __________ movements.
initiate; sustain
Children with hypotonia demonstrate ___________ ____________ of movement.
phasic bursts
ROM associated with hypotonia
hypermobile
ROM limitations associated with hypotonia
gravity enhanced position (frog position LEs)
Hypotonia prone
- prop with head stacked
- scapular winging
- hyperextend on extended UEs
- shoulders elevated
- entire trunk lacks coactivation
Hypotonia supine
- gravity bound mobility - phasic bursts of extension patterns
- initiates antigravity mvt with rectus + hip flexors and abductors
Hypotonia sitting
- W-sit
- ring sit collapsed into trunk flexion
Hypotonia crawling
- lateral flexion on WB side
- “hanging” in quadruped
- wide amplitude
Hypotonia transitional movement
rapid transitions between positions
- secondary to poor grading
Hypotonia stance - LE
- abduction
- ER
- pronation
Hypotonia stance - trunk
increased trunk lordosis
Hypotonia stance - shoulders
retracted and protracted
