NDT and PNF Flashcards
1
Q
what was NDT developed for?
A
as a reaction to teh ethos of the day - no recovery, compensations
2
Q
who si NDt used for?
A
CVA, TBI, MS, CP
3
Q
principles of NDT
A
- indentifying and correcting underlying impairments that intervene with movement
- emphasis on movement quality
-client s a partner
-rehab based on present level of function and personal context - rehab is 24?7
- void compensations when possible
4
Q
how does treatment progress?
A
- understand clients movement
- prep for the movement
- perfom/practice movement
- preform in function
5
Q
what does a wide bos do?
A
provide less activation
6
Q
what does a narrow base of support do?
A
greater activation
7
Q
why does alingmenet matter for NDT
A
neutral alingmnet is more optional - helps with movement prep and positioning
8
Q
how do we prep for movement?
A
- change envrionment
- place objects where they need to be, postion client
- mobilize to address stiffness and allow for freedom of movement
9
Q
how do we perform movmenet?
A
- ensure the client is in a proper alingment
- ensure readiness for movement
- facillate the movement through thoughtful placement of hands/body
- movement patterns should be graded to minimize use of compensation
- Fade ASAP
10
Q
how do we perform in function?
A
- have the client use re-learnt movement patterns
- provide handling as required to support optimal movement
11
Q
what is PNF?
A
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
12
Q
what is the PNF philosophy?
A
- everyone has potential
-integreated approach that address whole person - postive approach
- intervetnion must be toward a specfic functinal goal
- facilitate a maximal response
- use rep to promote new learning
- intesnive program is required
- optimize function
13
Q
what is the history of PNF?
A
- developed for those with MS
- devloped for polo, but vaccine caused this to irrelevant
14
Q
PNF basics are?
A
- patient patterns
- manual contacts
- OT body mehcanis
- appropriate resitance
- traction and approximantion
- quick stretch
- irridation
- visual and verbal input
15
Q
lumbrical grip is
A
in the direction of movement
