Neurological FORs (8.31)(9.02) Flashcards
Name the traditional concepts of the Neurological motor control FORs
- Reflexes occur in response to stimuli
ex: palmar grasp in babies. - Hierarchical control and motor programming–movements are controlled top-down
- Motor control is Cephalocaudal and Proximodistal–head to tail & trunk->out
- The brain is plastic
What does the brain is plastic mean?
the brain is constantly changing over time, which is a way of learning new things.
Because the brain plastic, when it’s damaged we are able to _____ it
A. reshape
B. remold
B. remold
What are some contemporary concepts of Neurological motor control FORs
- Degrees of freedom
- Movement is difficult to reproduce
- Heterarchical control (PEOP)
- Attractor states
Degrees of freedom can be described as:
A. contemporary concepts of neurological FORs
B. Muscles and joints working together to create movement
C. how far muscles can run away
A & B
A. Contemporary concept of neurological FOR
B. Muscles and joints work together to create movement
A contemporary concept of neurological motor control is that movement is difficult to reproduce. This generally translates to each movement being _____ and not easily _____. Movement is affected by gravity, muscle _____, and _____fatigue.
unique. reproduced, endurance.
Heterarchical control is _____ centered but also depends on __________ and _____. If 1 factor is changed then _________ changes.
person, environment, task, everything.
Attractor states are _________ concepts of neurological motor control
contemporary
In Neurological Motor Control, Central Nervous system damage leads to individuals using __________ techniques to function.
compensatory
Movement patterns occur due to dynamics between abilities and ________.
limitation.
When working with neurological motor control, it is important to note where compensation is occurring in order to then determine how to change the environment or remediate the patient/individual. This helps to bring about more _________.
function.
Neurological motor techniques provide _____ strategies and are used in cases of _____ _____ _____ dysfunction.
remedial, central nervous system
Handling is
a Theoretical basis of NeuroDevelopmental technique (NDT)
When using Neurological motor techniques, we remediate __________ skills before _____skills.
remedial, complex
When using Neurological motor techniques, we want to promote __________ movement patterns.
normal
When using Neurological motor techniques, the patient must have __________ control before _____ can move.
postural
When using Neurological motor techniques, a patient __________ after normalizing muscle _____with inhibition or __________.
typically, tone, facilitation
When using Neurological motor techniques, brain __________ is important
plasticity
Neurology and developmental theories are 2 _____ basis of NDT.
theoretical
Neurological techniques provide __________strategies that used in cases of central nervous system __________
remedial, dysfunction
NDT has an emphasis on _________
handling
NDT has an an emphasis on handling. This means more hands on involvement from the __________ and the patients do NOT perform challenges until __________ movement is obtained.
practitioner, normal
Example(s) if NeuroDevelopmental treatment strategies include
A. Weight bearing on both extremities
B. Recognizing abnormal tone and synergies
C. Facilitating normal movements & inhibiting abnormal movements
D. Anterior Pelvic tilts(forward position of the pelvis)
E. Slow and controlled movements
F. Upright positioning
G. Relearning
H. All the above
H. ALL THE ABOVE
Forward positioning of the pelvis is a neurodevelopmental treatment strategy also know as _____ _____ _____.
Anterior pelvic tilt
When using NeuroDevelopmental treatment, remediating foundational skills before complex skills means…
learning basic movements 1st, then complex movements and then integrating those movements into function.
When using NeuroDevelopmental treatment, muscle memory plays a role in experiencing _________ movement
normal
When using NeuroDevelopmental treatment, patients must have __________ control before expecting the limbs to move. This means we must ALWAYS start at the _____.
postural, PELVIS
In NeuroDevelopmental treatment, patients can only move _________ once muscle tone is ___________ with inhibition or facilitation.
typically, normalized
Patients can only move typically once muscle tone is normalized with inhibition or facilitation.
Meaning: We must get the right _________ information to the _____, then learn typical patterns.
sensory, brain
Axial control includes the _____, _____, and _____.
head, neck, trunk
Automatic reactions include equilibrium, righting _________, and protective limb extension.
reactions
In the function/dysfunction continua of NeuroDevelopmental treatment, limb control focuses on scapula and pelvis mobility/__________ balance.
stability
Synergies can include
flexors and extensors
flexors and extensors are
synergies
Define muscle tone
the tension in a muscle while at rest
The tension in a muscle while at rest __________ _____.
muscle tone.
True or false
Muscle tone is the same as muscle strength
false
To facilitate limb control, the therapist uses
- dissociation of synergy patterns
- Reflex inhibiting patterns
- Limb weight shifts/place and hold
- Rotational and reciprocal limb movements
To facilitate axial control. the therapist uses PAPA
Passive elongation
Active weight shifts
Passive pelvic tilts
Active axial rotation
Tp facilitate automatic reactions, the therapist uses RD
Reflex inhibiting patterns
Desired combination of movement patterns
To facilitate muscle tone in cases of HYPOtonia, the therapist uses JJMW
Joint compression
Joint traction
Manual resistance
Weight shifts
To inhibit HYPERtonia, the therapist uses
PRWP
Passive elongation
Reflex inhibiting patterns
Weight shifts
Positioning
The NeuroDevelopmental Techniques (FOR) is heavy on _____ cues, uses many _____ cues, and stimulation of proprioceptors and _________.
sensory. verbal, reflexes.
List the bsic concepts of ROOD
- Normal movement patterns emerge from use of reflex patterns
- Movement is subconscious
