Neurointerventions Flashcards
why can we make changes so quickly following an injury?
because the CNS is not hardwired
what occurs during recovery of function?
neuroplasticity
resolution of prenumbra
subsequent spontaneous recovery
how long does subsequent spontaneous recovery go on for?
3-6 months
how does plasticity occur as a result of injury?
functional reorganization of the cortex maps
3 synaptic changes that follow after injury
reduction of swelling
axonal sprouting
receipt of neurotransmitter from adjacent sites
unmasking
what interventions promote neural reorganization?
functional task training:
CIMT, robot assistive therapy, repetitive task training, arm ability training, circuit training for UE and LE
functional reorganization is….
skill and motor learning dependent rather than use dependent
brunnstrom stags can be used as a measure of…
progress
in behaviorist or cognitive theory…
environment drives motor development
what model lead to brunnstrom and NDT?
hierarchial
what are the three tenents of neuronal group selection theory.
basic connections, trial and error, expansion
theories that show how the CNS and PNS control action?
open loop and closed loop
techniques used for NDT
handling
weightbearing over affected limb
utilize positions that allow use of affected limbs
avoidance of sensory input that affect muscle tone
evidence on bobath?
limited
what type of muscle patterns that occur which are spiral and diagonal in nature?
mass, PNF
