Neuro peds UE training and strengthening Flashcards
what is the difference btwn learned non-use and developmental disregard?
learned non-use we see a lot in the adult population after stroke
Developmental disregard: peds patients because they haven’t even had the chance to develop it yet
throughout development connections are pruned off, what happens when you have a lesion?
your brain has to rewire the existing synapses, this wont happen if you wont use it!
what is the difference btwn forced use and CIT (constraint induced therapy)?
forced is is they just go home with a cast and they go throughout their day, its not therapeutic in nature.
CIT: intense therapy
true or false: all models of CIT have shown improvement in UE function
true!
what is the big pro of HABIT?
younger kids being able to learn to use both hands together, its the PRACTICE that matters
did CIT or HABIT have improved grasp?
CIT
what are the four key components to neuromotor recovery?
repetition
shaping
functional practice
behavior change
what is shaping
individualized tasks to work on specific movements
signature CIT how much % of waking hours is it worn
intense training for how many hours a day for 2 weeks
90%
intense training for 3 hours EVERYDAY for at least 2 weeks
how many hours a day and days a week is the restraint worn for modified CIT?
5 hours a day
5 days a week
intense training 2 hours a day 3x a week
brushing teeth and opening baggies vs. stacking blocks or placing push pins
functional practice
vs.
shaping
critical piece of UE training she said
behavior change!! can make a behavior contract
what creates gains 2.4 x higher than if you don’t use it
behavior contracts/going through life everyday as practice
Saeboflex would be used for what population
someone who has a lot of spasticity impeding function
reoGO is what kind of device
robotic: can give different things depending on what they need
what does physiological flexion allow infants
mechanically stable base; they constantly practice active movement which builds trunk and proximal limb strength which you need before distal mobility
in atypical development what does an infants posturing normally look like
hips, knees, elbows extended
in atypical development when children are extended what does this do to the proximal muscles?
they are at a mechanical disadvantage to initiate movement.
