Neuromotor System Flashcards
1
Q
gross coordinated movements
A
transfers/transitions coordination sensation balance gait/locomotion
2
Q
groos motor function
A
observation of QUALITY of movement, level of assistance it any
3
Q
two types of coordination
A
equilibrium (balance) non equilibrium -alternate or reciprocal motion - movement accuracy - movement compensation - fixation or limb holding
4
Q
dysdiadochokinesia
A
deficit rapid alternating movements (supination/pronation of hands while sitting)
5
Q
dysmetria
A
deficit heel-shin test
- trace a line from tibial tuberosity to ankle and back up
- both sides
6
Q
purpose of sensation testing
A
identify potential impairments of ascending sensory information
- light touch is carries on ascending pathway: dorsal column of spinal cord
7
Q
3 main contributions to balance
A
vision
vestibular
proprioception
8
Q
romberg test
A
tests static balance
- feet together (shoes on)
- 30 s eyes open
- 30 s eyes closed
- level of stability
9
Q
eyes open romberg test sensory inputs
A
visual
vestibular
proprioception
10
Q
eyes closed romberg test sensory inputs
A
vestibular
proprioception
11
Q
gait/locomotion assessments
A
normal tandem (heel to toe) heel walking (L4,5) toe walking (S1) 10-20 ft
12
Q
movements should be
A
smooth, coordinated, intentional
