a. facilitation of muscle activity
b. blocking undesirable movements
c. mechanical leverage
d. none of the above

Answer 9

facilitation of muscle activity

Question 10

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

Answer 10

blocking undesirable movements

Question 11

What are the four guiding principles for rehab?

Answer 11

holistic and interdisciplinary
individualized
activating optimal sensorimotor processing, task performance, and skill acquisition
participation in meaningful activities

Question 12

Framework for postural control and mobility retraining needs to be

Answer 12

challenging
progressive and optimally adapted
active participation

Question 13

Tapping or stroking 
quick icing
vibration 
e-stim
tape
external support 
these are (inhibitory or facilitatory) manual cues

Answer 13

faciliatory

Question 14

What are ways to progress the challenge of a task?

Answer 14

ranges of movement 
base of support 
movement pattern
speed
feedback and cueing

Question 15

The trunks role in reach, grasp and manipulation is to

Answer 15

stabilize

Question 16

What are the three benefits of using therapeutic tasks taken from real-life situations?

Answer 16

bridge gap between skills in therapy and skills at home
functional basis for the purpose of therapy
improves learning and follow through

Question 17

What are 5 factors to consider when choosing a functional therapeutic task/activity?

Answer 17

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

Question 18

Why use optimal posture?

Answer 18

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

Question 19

What is the purpose of manual feedback and cues?

Answer 19

help patient access missing components of movement

Question 20

What are the characteristics of manual cues?

Answer 20

light contact
open hands
appropriate speed and timing of input
use key points of control

Question 21

How do you facilitate effective movement during a therapeutic task?

Answer 21

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

Question 22

How can you modify the movement strategy?

Answer 22

pts position
modify the environment
adjust the complexity
change verbal/manual cues
