NDT Flashcards
Note the position of the body, note BOS, note the new direction of movement. Which phase of movement does this observation fall under?
a. initaion
b. termination
c. execution
d. transition
e. completion
execution
Note position of the body, limb and BOS after finishing the movement. Which phase of movement does this observation fall under?
a. initiation
b. termination
c. execution
d. transition
e. completion
completion
Note speed, smoothness, ease of moving. Which phase of movement does this observation fall under?
a. qualities of movement
b. termination
c. execution
d. transition
e. completion
qualities of movement
Note the body part that moves first, direction of movement or weight shift of COM, and changes in BOS. Which phase of movement does this observation fall under?
a. initiation
b. termination
c. execution
d. transition
e. completion
initiation
Note the environment, BOS, COM and auditory or visual input. Which phase of movement does this observation fall under?
a. initial conditions
b. termination
c. execution
d. transition
e. completion
initial conditions
Note starting alignment of body and BOS, asymmetries in weight distribution, postural deviations, differences between two sides of the body. Which phase of movement does this observation fall under?
a. initial conditions
b. initiation
c. execution
d. transition
e. preparation
preperation
How can hands-on assessment be achieved?
mechanical leverage
facilitation of correct muscle activity sequence
blocking undesirable movements
this hands on assessment is passive positioning of the patient
a. facilitation of muscle activity
b. blocking undesirable movements
c. mechanical leverage
d. none of the above
mechanical leverage
this hands on assessment can be accomplished in numerous techniques if they are not moving in sequence
a. facilitation of muscle activity
b. blocking undesirable movements
c. mechanical leverage
d. none of the above
facilitation of muscle activity
This hands on assessment is forcefully keeping the patient from moving certain ways
a. facilitation of muscle activity
b. blocking undesirable movements
c. mechanical leverage
d. none of the above
blocking undesirable movements
What are the four guiding principles for rehab?
holistic and interdisciplinary
individualized
activating optimal sensorimotor processing, task performance, and skill acquisition
participation in meaningful activities
Framework for postural control and mobility retraining needs to be
challenging
progressive and optimally adapted
active participation
Tapping or stroking quick icing vibration e-stim tape external support these are (inhibitory or facilitatory) manual cues
faciliatory
What are ways to progress the challenge of a task?
ranges of movement base of support movement pattern speed feedback and cueing
The trunks role in reach, grasp and manipulation is to
stabilize
What are the three benefits of using therapeutic tasks taken from real-life situations?
bridge gap between skills in therapy and skills at home
functional basis for the purpose of therapy
improves learning and follow through
What are 5 factors to consider when choosing a functional therapeutic task/activity?
task of similar movement component that is missing for other tasks reduces or increases degrees of freedom appropriate cognitive level requires problem solving familiar and meaningful
Why use optimal posture?
re-establish orientation to midline
balance of muscle activity and tone around the joints
most efficient starting place for movement
movement is not efficient on maligned joints
What is the purpose of manual feedback and cues?
help patient access missing components of movement
What are the characteristics of manual cues?
light contact
open hands
appropriate speed and timing of input
use key points of control
How do you facilitate effective movement during a therapeutic task?
select a position for the pt to work in begin in optimal posture set up environment work proximal to distal patient-initiated movements task-specific activities therapist guide movements in small increments fade physical guidance incorporate UE into functional activities
How can you modify the movement strategy?
pts position
modify the environment
adjust the complexity
change verbal/manual cues
