Q

Restorative Interventiosn: Motor Learning strategies

In Practice Progression, What is Massed vs. Distributed progression?

A

Masses: has more practice time vs rest time

Distributed: has more rest time vs practice time

This depends on the patient, either can be chosen, however usually progressed TO massed in the autonomous stage

Q

Restorative Interventiosn: Motor Learning strategies

In Practice Progression, What is the difference between Constant vs. Variable practice?

A

Constant: Task is practiced in the same way with no variety; This is better for performance

Variable: Task is practiced in variable conditions and parameters; This is better for learning

Q

Restorative Interventiosn: Motor Learning strategies

In Practice Progression, What is the difference between Blocked vs. Random practice?

A

Blocked: 1 task repeated throughout whole practice time; This promotes performance

Random: A variety of task are practiced during practice time in random order; This promotes learning

25
Q

What are Augmented Interventions?

A

These interventions include aspects of guided movement. These movements are guided or facilitated to try to promote some voluntary control and help jump start the recovery or promote positive neuroplastic changes by maybe incorporating a more involved body segment

26
Q

What are some examples of Augmented Interventions?

A

It inlcudes general neuomuscular facilitation, PNF, NDT, Bobath, NeuroIFRAH, etc.

27
Q

Who would benefit from the use of Augmented Interventions?

A
  • Patients early in recovery
  • Patients with limited voluntary movement
28
Q

Why would you use Augmented Interventions?

A

These interventions can help bridge the gap between absent or severely disordered movements and more active and controlled movements. Once the patient develops more adequate voluntary control these interventions are generally conterproductive and should be discontinued

29
Q

What are Compensatory Interventions?

A

This involves the resumption of function using less involved body segment(s)

30
Q

Compensatory Interventiosn

What are alternative ways to accomplish tasks?

A
  • Substitution
  • Adaptation

(Not really an alternative way), we also use AD to accomplish different forms of movement

31
Q

With Compensatory Interventions, what is Substitution?

A

Substitutions are going to be changes that are made to the individual’s overall approach to a functional task

Ex. a pt has a Right CVA, L Hemiparesis is taught to do all there dressing tasks with their R UE as opposed to using both UE

32
Q

With Compensatory Interventions, what is Adaptation?

A

Adaptation is going to be the modification of the environment to facilitate the relearning of skills or the performance of movement and to optimize motor performance

33
Q

Augmented Interventions (Neuromotor Approaches)

Augmented Interventions are Indicated to those patients who:

A
  • Lack voluntary movement control
  • Demonstrate insufficient motor recovery
  • Have difficulty initiating or sustaining movement
34
Q

Augmented Interventions (Neuromotor Approaches)

When are Augmented Interventions Contraindicated?

A

When the patient demonstrates sufficient active movement control => activity based/task oriented approaches emphasizing active motor control

35
Q

Intro to NDT Augmented Interventions

NDT was designed to emphasize what?

A

NDT was designed to emphasize inhibition of abnormal reflexes and abnormal tone prior to focusing on function

36
Q

Intro to NDT Augmented Interventions

What are Indications of using NDT?

A
  • Poor grading of muscle activity
  • Muscle Imbalance
  • Motor Fatiguability
  • Spasticity
  • Incorrect initiation of movement
  • Incorrect timing and sequencing
37
Q

Intro to NDT Augmented Interventions

With NDT, what are 5 body segment that offer key points of control for postural control and movement?

A
  • Head and Neck
  • Upper Trunk
  • Lower Trunk
  • UE
  • LE
38
Q

Intro to NDT Augmented Interventions

With NDT, what is the order in helping a patient progress to produce movement?

A
  • Stability => Mobility => Manipulate
39
Q

Intro to NDT Augmented Interventions

What is the difference between Facilitation and Inhibition?

A

Facilitation: to make easier
Inhibition: to prevent or hinder movement

40
Q

Intro to NDT Augmented Interventions

What are the Goals of NDT Treatment?

A
  • Works in the framework of stability to mobility
  • Optimal Alignment for functional tasks
  • WB of extremities to maintain alignment
  • Use of both sides of ody to create normal sensorimotor experience
  • Active participation
  • Repetition and Practice
41
Q

Augmented Interventions PNF

What is PNF Technique?

A

This is utilized during movement in order to enhance movement facilitation

42
Q

Augmented Interventions PNF

What is PNF Pattern?

A

A movement in one plane of motion that a joint/extremity is taken or resisted through

43
Q

Augmented Interventions PNF

What PNF Diagnal?

A

A movement in two planes of motion that a joint/extremity is taken or resisted through

44
Q

Augmented Interventions PNF

What is Irradiation?

A

Transfer of activaion from agonist to another agonist

If an individual is to perform a supine to sit, activation of the trunk flexors may predispose activation of the hip flexors

45
Q

Augmented Interventions PNF

What is Successive Induction?

A

Transfer of activation from agonist to antagonist

Ex. if we strengthen the biceps during elbow flexion that this path would be carried over to the antagonist direction and would in turn strengthen/activate the tricep during elbow extension

46
Q

PNF Techniques

WHat does Rhythmic Initiation promote?

A

Promotes new movement, re-establishes directions

PNF techniques almost always start with this technique

This technique may be revisited if an individual has trouble with a pattern or feels fatigued

47
Q

PNF Techniques

What does Combination of Isotonics promote?

A

Promotes movement control

This can be delivered in either strengthening or neuromuscular reeducation types

48
Q

PFN Techniques

What does Rhythmic Stabilization/Stabilizing Reversals promote?

A

Promotes stability

The goal is for the patient to remain stable in response to an outside stimulus

49
Q

PNF Technique

What does Dynamic Reversals promote?

A

Promotes coordination of movement

This requires more than 1 plane of movement to be conducted

50
Q

PNF Techniques

What does Repeated Quick Stretch promote?

A
  • Strengthen within the movement
  • Reaffirms correct pattern/diagonal

This is used to provide proprioceptive cueing to increase the resistance of a movement, can also be used to redirect patients to the correct pattern or diagonal

51
Q

PNF Technique

What does Hold/Contract Relax promote?

A

Promotes increased passive ROM

52
Q

What are the different Scapular and Pelvic Patterns?

A
