Neurodevelopmental treatment or bobath approach

Question 1

used to INCREASE MUCLE TONE to produce more nearly normal movement responses in the HEMIPLEGIC PATIENTS.

Answer 1

Facilitation

Question 2

state of lacking tone. limb feels limp and falls into place when not supported

Answer 2

flaccidity

Question 3

uses hands to stop the patient’s abnormal tone, movement, and activate normal movement patterns

Answer 3

handling

Question 4

used to decrease spasticity and to stop
abnormal movement patterns

Answer 4

Inhibition

Question 5

used to change muscle tone
and influence the quality of movement

Answer 5

Key points of control

Question 6

allows the body to follow
movement

Answer 6

Placing Response

Question 7

inhibit spasticity by passively elongating spastic muscles

Answer 7

Reflex inhibiting postures

Question 8

used to persevere or restore normal mobility

Answer 8

Scapular mobilization

Question 9

excess tone and hyperactive response to stretch

Answer 9

Spasticity

Question 10

use tactile and proprioceptive input to muscles and joints to
produce an active muscle response in flaccid limbs

Answer 10

Stimulation techniques

Question 11

Goals of Bobath Approach

Answer 11

1. Retain Movement.
2. Normalize abnormal tone.
3. Eliminate unwanted muscle activity.

Question 12

NDT (6) Interventions:

Answer 12

1. Bed Mobility Tasks
2. Weight shift in sitting and standing
3. Sit-to-stand and transfers
4. Control of the hemiplegic arm in weight bearing
5. Gait training and balance activities
6. Activities of daily living, work, and leisure activities

Question 13

Basic goals of treatment using technique inhibition.

Answer 13

To decrease the observable symptoms of upper motor neuron lesio

Question 14

Basic goals of treatment using facilitation techniques

Answer 14

To increase the normal patterns of coordinated movement in the involved side and between the two sides of the
body

Question 15

Basic goals of treatment using adaptive equipments

Answer 15

To improve functional use of the involved side and decrease compensation

Question 16

Techniques that are used to:
1. Correct alignment
2. Lengthen shortened muscles
3. Decrease abnormal tone

Answer 16

Inhibition

Question 17

are designed to:
− Teach the sensation of normal movement by moving the limbs in space with proper patterns of initiation and sequencing
− Stimulate muscles directly to contract isometrically, eccentrically, and isotonically
− Hold alignment and provide postural stability while the patient practices movement
− Reeducate normal movement patterns
− Teach the patient ways to incorporate the involved side into transitional movement and functional
activities

Answer 17

Facilitation Techniques

Question 18

patterns of handling that help the patient move more normally

Answer 18

Facilitation
