Movement Science 2 (Exam 1-Midterm) Flashcards
What is Motor Control?
Necessary input, sufficiently processed, with an acceptable output
What is Motor Learning?
- Study of and acquisition (and reacquisition) and/or modification of skilled action
- Set of processes associated with the steps leading to relatively permanent changes in the capacity for producing a specific movement task
What are the 3 stages of Motor Learning?
- Cognitive
- Associative
- Automous
What is the difference between Intrinsic and Augmented (Extrinsic) feedback?
Intrinsic feedback includes: Visual, Auditory, Proprioceptive, Vestibular, and Tactile
Augmented feedback includes: Knowledge of performance and knowledge of results
With Augmented Feedback, what does Knowledge of results (KR) mean?
- Terminal feedback about the movement outcome
- This is provided by an instructor or clinician
–Usually verbal
–Can be visual or auditory
With Augmented Feedback, what does Knowledge of Performance (KP) mean?
- This is information about the pattern of a movement
–Kinematic feedback: speed, velocity, displacement
–Kinetic or EMG feedback if equipment: force and muscle activity
–Quality of movement: no reference to goal or outcome
What is Concurrent Feedback?
Feedback given during task performance
What is Constant Feedback?
Feedback given after every trial
What is Delayed Feedback?
Feedback with a brief time delay
What is Summary Feedback?
Feedback after a set number of trials
What is Faded Feedback?
Feedback given less frequent with ongoing practice
What is Terminal Feedback?
Feedback given at the end of task performance
What is Bandwidth Feedback?
Feedback given if performance falls outside a predetermined error range
How may feedback affect performance? How do you consider their stage of learning?
- Frequent extrinsic feedback may improve performance but slow learning
- Less extrinsic feedback may slow performance initially but may lead to improved learning (retention test)
- If the patient is in the cognitive stage of learning. they should get feedback more frequent to develop reference of correctness
- If the patient is in the associative and/of autonomous stage of learning they should get feedback less frequent
What are General Practice Principles?
Practice attempts should be maximized to promote motor learning
With practice, what should be the therapist role?
Therapist should ensure the patient practices correct movements to prevent negative learning
In Practice Progression, What is Massed vs. Distributed progression?
Masses: has more practice time vs rest time
Distributed: has more rest time vs practice time
This depends on the patient, either can be chosen, however usually progressed TO massed in the autonomous stage
In Practice Progression, What is the difference between Constant vs. Variable practice?
Constant: Task is practiced in the same way with no variety; This is better for performance
Variable: Task is practiced in variable conditions and parameters; This is better for learning
In Practice Progression, What is the difference between Blocked vs. Random practice?
Blocked: 1 task repeated throughout whole practice time; This promotes performance
Random: A variety of task are practiced during practice time in random order; This promotes learning
What is the difference between Discrete and Continuous, in terms of task constraints on movement control?
Discrete: Recognizable beginning and end
Continuous: Performer decides end
What is the difference between Closed and Open, in terms of task constraints on movement control?
Closed: Fixed or predictable environment (Little variation of movement)
Open: Unpredictable; must adopt movement strategy (Constant changing of positions)
What is the difference between Stability and Mobility, in terms of task constraints on movement control?
Stability: Nonmoving BOS
Mobility: Moving BOS
What is the difference between Manipulation and Non-Manipulation?
Manipulation: Use of your hands to accomplish a goal
Non-Manipulation: No use of hands
What is the Temporal Sequence of Movement?
Initial Condition
Preparation
Initiation
Execution
Termination
Outcome
What is included in the Initial condition in the Temporal Sequence of Movement?
-State of the individual and environment
-Posture
-Ability to interact with environment
-Environment context
What is included in the Preparation in the Temporal Sequence of Movement?
Period of time when the movement is being organized within the CNS
-Stimulus identification
-Response selection
-Response programming
What is included in the Initiation portion in the Temporal Sequence of Movement?
Initiation of movement is the instance when the displacement begins
-5 body segments: Head/Neck, Upper truck, Lower trunk, UE, LE
-Important parameters:
Timing, Direction, and Smoothness
What is included in the Execution portion in the Temporal Sequence of Movement?
Period of actual segment movement
-Important parameters:
Amplitude, Direction, Speed, Smoothness
What is included in the Termination portion in the Temporal Sequence of Movement?
Refers to the instant when movement stops
Important parameters:
Timing, Stability, Accuracy
What is included in the Outcome portion in the Temporal Sequence of Movement?
Refers to whether the movement was reached successfully
With Functional Movement System (FMS) what are the different stages from the Fundamental Level to the Functional Level?
Fundamental Lvl:
1. Supine
2. Prone
3. Rolling
4. Quadruped
5. Crawling
Transitional Lvl:
6. Sitting
7. Kneeling
8. Squatting
Functional Lvl:
9. Vertical Stance
10. Gait
What is the 1st Principle for FMS?
We should move well, then move often.
- This is the “Natural Principle”
- Moving well enables us to adapt and gives us opportunities to develop and allows us to respond to environmental signals, it sets up the feedback that is vital for progressive movement; Moving often provides us with the ability to explore and expose ourselves to movement opportunities, this add volume across time and allows patterns and tissues to adapt
What is the 2nd Principle for FMS?
Direct us to protect, correct, and develop the movement of those in our care
- This is the “Ethical Principle”
- This can refer to the PT to address pain or avoiding patterns and exercises where pain and dysfunctions are present.
- Protection always precedes correction, which in turn precedes development
– We must protect our clients from themselves and us by removing negatives that are reinforcing poor movement quality
What is the 3rd Principle for FMS?
Create systems that enforce the philosophy
- This is the “Practical Principle”
- Implementation of standard operating procedures, the practice of intelligent selection, always matching the risk to challenge ration to the growth and development desired
- If movement is below an acceptable standard for a movement vital sign or ability, thats dysfunction
- If some is unable to express physical capacity with a minimum standard of load, energy system response, frequency or volume, that deficiency
What is the Optimum Performance Pyramid?
This represents a type of athlete whose movement patterns, movement efficiency and sport skill are balanced and adequate
What is Over Powered Performance Pyramid?
This represents an athlete that generates power that exceeds their ability to move freely.
- This pyramid represents the individual who scores poorly on mobility and stability test but very high on power production
What is the Performance Pyramid? What do the rectangles represent?
This is a visual representation and understanding of human movement and movement patterns.
- The first rectangle lvl is the base platform or foundation. It represents that ability to move through fundamental patterns
- The second rectangle represents performance. This is general, measurable power or gross athleticism
- The third rectangle represents sport specific skill
What is the Under Powered Performance Pyramid?
This represents those athletes that have excellent freedom of movement but whose efficiency is poor and could stand improvement
What is the Under Skilled Performance Pyramid?
This represents those athletes who have overall weakness or below-average performance.
A training program designed around sports skill fundaments and technique would be best investment of time for this person
What are the 7 FMS exercises?
- Deep Squat
- Hurdle Step
- Inline Lunge
- Shoulder Mobility
- Active Straight-Leg Raise
- Trunk Stability Push-Up
- Rotary Stability
Why should your patient/client do a Deep Squat Screen? What is the scoring for this screen?
This shows whether the person can move symmetrically into a full ROM of the ankles, knee, and hips. Maintaining the overhead position of the arms tells us if the individual can full access lower body mobility without robbing movement from the torso and UE.
- The scoring is a scale of 1-3, 3 being normal, and 1 being asymmetrical/not proper squat
Pain = 0
What does a 3 look like for the Deep Squat?
- The torso is parallel with Tibia or toward vertical
- Femur is below horizontal
- Knees do not track inside of feet
- Dowel aligned over feet
What does a 2 look like for the Deep Squat?
- Torso is parallel with Tibia or toward vertical
- Femur is below horizontal
- Knee do not track inside of feet
- Dowel aligned over feet
- Heels are elevated
What does a 1 look like for a deep squat?
- Tibia and Torso are not parallel
- Femur is not below horizontal
- Knees track inside of feet
- Dowel is not aligned over feet
A score of 0 is given when pain is present
With the Deep Squat Movement Pattern, why the symmetrical stance pattern?
The ability to squat is a fundamental movement ability. The deep squat is both a posture and pattern.
With the Hurdle Step Screen, why should the patient/client do the Double to Single Leg Pattern?
This is fundamental to our ability to walk and is the base of our locomotive mechanisms. Its a display of control of our center of mass with a changing BOS. Rolling, Crawling and other developmental milestones set the stage for this pattern
Why the Hurdle Step Screen?
This looks at single leg stance challenged by a dynamic stepping motion. The pattern demands a higher step then normal to express mobility and ROM with the stepping leg, while requiring stability of the stance leg
What is a 3 in the Hurdle Step?
- Hips, knees and ankle remain aligned in the sagittal plane
- Minimal to no movement in lumbar spine
- Dowel and hurdle remain parallel
What is a 2 in the Hurdle Step?
- Alignment is lost between hips, knees, and ankles
- Movement in lumbar spine
- Dowel and hurdle do no remain parallel
What is a 1 in the Hurdle Step?
- Inability to clear the cord during the hurdle step
- Loss of balance
A score of 0 is given when pain is present
With the Inline Lunge Movement Pattern, why the Spit Squat Stance?
This pattern requires us to lower our center of mass like we do with a squat but in a more dynamic way.
Why the Inline Lunge Screen?
This replicates the natural counterbalance the UE and LE use to complement each other, as it uniquely demands spine stabilization. This test challenges hip, knee, ankle, and foot mobility and stability, while at the same time challenging the flexibility of the Latissimus dorsi and Rectus femoris.
What is a 3 in the Inline Lunge?
- Dowel contact maintained
- Dowel remains vertical
- Minimal to no torso movement
- Dowel and feet remain in sagittal plane
- Knee touches the center of the board
- Front foot remains in start position
What is a 2 in the Inline Lunge?
- Dowel contact not maintained
- Dowel does not remain vertical
- Movement in torso
- Dowel and feet do not remain in sagittal plane
- Knee does not touch center of the board
- Flat front foot does not remain in start position
What is a 1 in the Inline Lunge?
- Loss of balance by stepping off the board
- Inability to complete movement pattern
- Inability to get into set up position
A score of 0 is given when pain is present
What is the purpose of the Ankle Clearing Screen? How is this documented?
To identify pain and to ensure ankle mobility is not a barrier to movement pattern competency and capacity
This screen is documented by using Green, Yellow, Red.
What is considered “Green” in the Ankle Clearing Screen?
- Knee moves beyond the medial malleolus of the front leg while the heel stays down
- This indicated the ankle has cleared mobility requirements
What is considered “Yellow” in the Ankle Clearing Screen?
- The knee resides within the width of the medial malleolus of the front leg while the heel stays down
- This indicates a potential ankle mobility limitation
- Failure on the ankle clearing screen implies that ankle mobility should be addressed and cleared
What is considered “Red” in the Ankle Clearing Screen?
- The individual’s knee does reach the medial malleolus of the front leg while the heel stays down
- This indicates a potential ankle mobility limitation
- Failure on the ankle clearing screen implies that ankle mobility should be addressed and cleared
What is a 3 with the Shoulder Mobility Screen?
- Fist are within one hand length
What is a 2 with the Shoulder Mobility Screen?
- Fist are within one and a half hand lengths
What is a 1 with the Shoulder Mobility Screen?
- Fist are not within one and a half hand length
After the Shoulder Mobility Screen, what other test should you do, what is it for?
The shoulder clearing test is at the end of the Shoulder mobility test. If there is pain if this clearing test a 0 is given to the entire test.
- This clearing test is done bilaterally and it is necessary because shoulder impingement will sometimes go undetected by shoulder mobility test alone
Why the Active Straight-Leg Raise Screen?
Lumbo-Pelvic control, extension of the down leg and flexion of the raising leg are the components of this screen.
What is a 3 in the Active-Straight Leg Raise?
- Vertical line of the malleolus resides between mid-thigh and ASIS
- The non-moving limb remains in neutral position
What is a 2 in the Active-Straight Leg Raise?
- Vertical line of the malleolus resides between mid-thigh and joint line
- The non-moving limb remains in neutral position
What is a 1 in the Active-Straight Leg Raise?
- Vertical line of the malleolus resides below the joint line
- The non-moving limb remains in neutral position
A score of 0 is given when pain is present
Why the Trunk Stability Push-Up Screen?
This is not meant to test upper body strength in isolation. The goal is to use the upper body movement in this position to challenge the trunk stability pattern
What is a 3 in the Trunk Stability Push-Up Screen?
- Men perform a repetition with thumbs aligned with the top of the forehead
- Women perform a repetition with thumbs aligned with the chin
- The body lifts as a unit with no lag in the spine
What is a 2 in the Trunk Stability Push-up Screen?
- Men perform a repetition with thumbs aligned with the chin
- Women perform a repetition with thumbs aligned with the clavicle
- The body lifts as a unit with no lag in the spine
What is a 1 in the Trunk Stability Push-Up Screen?
- Men are unable to perform a repetition with thumbs aligned with the chin
- Women are unable to perform a repetition with thumbs aligned with the clavicle
A score of 0 is given when pain is present
What test is done after the Trunk Stability Push-Up Screen?
- Extension Clearing Test, if there is pain give a (+) score with a final 0 score and perform a more thorough evaluation or refer out
What is a 3 in the Rotary Stability Screen?
- Hand and knee leave ground at the same time
- Ability to perform this pattern while keeping the arm and leg moving in-line and parallel with the board
- Fingers touch the lateral malleolus
- Knee and elbow achieve full extension
What is a 2 in the Rotary Stability Screen?
- Hand and knee did not leave ground at same time
- Inability to keep the arm and leg moving in-line and parallel with the board
- Fingers touch the lateral malleolus
- Knee and elbow achieve full extension
What is a 1 in the Rotary Stability Screen?
- Loss of balance
- Hand does not touch the lateral malleolus
- Knee and elbow do not fully extend
- Inability to get into set-up position
A score of 0 is given when pain is present
What test is done after the Rotary Stability Screen?
- The Flexion Clearing Test, Flexion can be cleared by first assuming quadruped position, then rocking back and touching the buttocks to the heels and chest to thighs. If (+) a final score of 0 is given
What is Functional Capacity Assessment/Evaluation?
A detailed examination and evaluation that objectively measures the patients current level of function, primarily within the context of the demands of competitive employment.
Basically looking at the patients ability to do their job and the jobs impact on the patient
What is Industrial Medicine (aka Occupational Medicine)?
The branch of medicine concerned with the maintenance of health and the prevention and treatment of diseases and accidental injuries in the workplace
Where did Industrial Medicine come from?
- Workers Compensation (WC) becomes a key issue:
–Early on, workers comp. was growing at same rate as medical cost
–Later on, workers comp. cost and claims increased
Why was Functional Capacity Evaluations introduced to Workers Comp.?
To help objectively measure a patients level of function within the text of the individuals work environment
With Industrial medicine, what are the steps an injured worker goes through to get back to work?
- After the work injury or work-related illness they are sent for treatment, either:
–Acute care (hospital; clinic)
–Rehabilitation (in/out patient) - Then they go through a course of industrial medicine here they’ll do:
–Evaluation (Job analysis {site/task} and functional assessment {Whole body})
–Treatment (Work hardening {rehab specific to work}, this resulted in formation of pain centers)
–Evaluation (Exit assessment (are they ready for RTW, then the do Special Programs)
Special Programs (Made for prevention): Evaluation- pre-employment screenings and job analysis (site/task) and Education- Body mechanics and prevention of overuse syndrome
Through the eyes of the employee, what are 2 perspectives that should be taken to account with their injury?
1) They want to be back to normal ASAP
2) Issue of secondary gain
- With workers comp. a person only receives a % of previous salary; “checks rarely come on time”
Through the eyes of the employee, what are some of the Financial considerations that should be taken into account with their injury?
- Firstly the patient is injured
- They are receiving less money
- Checks are not on time
- Their bills are still due
- Finances can cause increased stress in the household
Through the eyes of the employee, what are some of Household/Family considerations that should be taken into account with their injury?
- The person’s identity changes due to changes in injury status:
–Staying at home
–No longer primary bread winner
–Can’t pay bills - There is pressure to get better; get a job
Through the eyes of the employer, what are some considerations that should be taken to account with the injured patient?
- 2nd most affected person
- Must pay the employee
- Must (re)train a replacement
- Must pay for (re)training…more cost
- Increased paperwork (claims)
- Concern ie. permanent disability
- Must make “reasonable accommodations”
Through the eyes of the employer, what are some Problems that should be taken to account pertaining to the injured patient? If a lawyer is involved what is there job in the situation?
- People will begin to point fingers at each other on how and why the worker got injured (Often employee blames unsafe work environment)
- No ground work for communication
- Increased likelihood for retaining a lawyer
The lawyers agenda is to win for their side
- PT/OT has good chance of being deposed
With a workers injury what is the role of the Physician?
- Utilizes the “medical model”
- Prescribe med, then ask them to return is a couple weeks
- Problem: MD communicates with employee/employer with medical terminology…not on their level…confusion
What is the role of the Rehabilitation Consultant? What should they consider?
- They are the interpreter from the medical community …to work place, for the insurance company
- They are the patient advocates
- Determines # of visits, what MD to go to, and whether insurance will pay for a 2nd opinion
They should consider:
- Employee’s perspective of rehab consultant
- Insurance companies dont make money, if they spend money
What is the role of the Government?
- They set the standards in the workplace
- They limit the amount an employee can sue medical professionals
- Implications for PTs, you need to carry malpractice insurance
What is the role of the Physical Therapist?
- Being good communicators and being professional towards the worker (employee), the employer, the lawyer, the rehab consultant and the doctor
- Being hands on with patients…establish rapport/trust
What does it mean to look at someone’s Functional Capacity?
We must look at the persons ability to perform a job or the jobs impact on or requirement of the person
What are the results of the FCE used for?
- Information for rating disability
- Identify ways to modify the workplace
- Identify levels of “Return to Work”
- Identify symptom magnifiers
- Develop a rehabilitation plan
–Modify the worker - Work hardening
Specifically the Role of the FCE is to?
- Determine the presence/degree of disability
- Improve job role performance by identification of functional decrements
- Improve the likelihood of safe return to job/task performance
When doing a FCA, what are you supposed to look at?
- The abilities vs disabilities…what can a person do functionally
- At the whole body, not just parts
- Considers what is safe level of performance
- Must determine SAFE functional maximum
How do you determine a Safe Functional Maximum?
- They are not dictated by pain
- They may be safe and still have discomfort
- Do not stop test due to pain, if patient maintains proper body mechanics
- Test may be “self limited” due to pain
- SFM = @ least 100% max effort
- FCA : each station = max effort
What are the Physiological reasons to stop a test?
- HR, angina
- Skin color
- Sweating
- Muscle shaking
- SOB
- unsafe substitutions/compensations
What are potential outcomes of FCA?
- RTW
- Go to work hardening
- Disability
- Job modification
In order to complete a FCA, what is required?
- A large area
- Lots of time (4-6hrs, usually over 2 days), second day allows check for reliability…repeat test
- Trained PT/OT for consistency
–Follows a script (no encouragement/coaching)
–Professional judgement = Key…will patient be hurt
After the FCA/E, do you do a normal PT eval.?
Yes so you know physical limitations
What do FCA test look at?
- Strength
- May use 5 RM (For endurance and to reveal compensations with fatigue)
- May look at positions held for a given time
- Lifts may timed (At a particular pace)
- Coordination/balance
- Body mechanics
- Behavior during the test - pain is not a reason to stop test (if they stop, its a self limited test due to pain)
How does the FCA/E get further insight into consistency for the patient?
It uses test to “Simulate” the symptoms reconstruction (To test for faking)
What is the def. of Malingering?
Psychological diagnosis, therefore do not use
What is the def. of Symptom Magnification?
Describes objective inconsistency in the test
What is Symptom Magnification Syndrome (SMS)?
This stratifies symptom magnifying patients into personality types:
- Refugee
- Game Player
- Perpetual/Identified Patient
With Symptom Magnification Syndrome, what is the Refugee personality?
- Tends to be female with no future orientation
- If symptoms are maintained, they get out of resolved conflict
- Patients feel they are indispensible
- No career, rather job hop
- Martyr
- When asked, Can you do this…Patient response “yes but”
With Symptom Magnification Syndrome, what is the Game Player personality?
- Symptoms provide opportunity for a game
- Tend to be male, opportunistic
- They see symptoms as a way out of the slums
- Extravagant goal setting (beyond possible)
- Impulsive (they dont care about re-injury
- Tend to be irresponsible (But pretend to be responsible)
- Symptoms may be appropriate but rare
With Symptom Magnification Syndrome, what is the Perpetual/Identified Patient personality?
- Not gender specific
- They present with increased assistive device
- Likes patient role because it diminishes all other roles
- No real goal, rather survival
- Life is to be survived not enjoyed
- Tend to fall in the middle of the test for unknown reason
- Symptoms will/may be fictitious
How do we identify symptom magnifiers?
- Their symptoms are not controlled or effected by anything
- Their symptoms control activities; Activities no not control symptoms
- Things dont add up…Objective findings dont match the symptoms
