Neurodevelopmental Technique and Brunnstrom Stages p. 285

Question 1

What treatment strategy suggests patients should learn to control movement through activities that promote normal movement patterns that integrate function?

Answer 1

Bobath: Neuromuscular Developmental Treatment

Question 2

What are the 7 stages of Recovery according to Brunnstrom?

Answer 2

1. no volitional movement initiated
2. appearance of basic limb synergies. Beginning of spasticity
3. synergies are performed voluntarily, spasticity increases
4. spasticity begins to decrease. movement patterns are not dictated solely by limb synergies
5. Further decrease in spasticity noted with independence from limb synergy patterns
6. isolated joint movements are performed with coordination
7. normal motor function is restored

Question 3

What is Stage 4 of Brunnstrom?

Answer 3

spasticity begins to decrease. Movement patterns are not dictated soley by limb synergies

Question 4

Answer 5

apperance of basic limb synergies. Beginning of spasticity

Question 6

Answer 6
