17
Q

Stereotypic movements are (normal/not normal)

A

not normal

18
Q

(true/false) Most evaluations at the activity level do not specify how the task is accomplished nor which compensatory movements were used.

A

true

19
Q

(true/false) Rehabilitation process may influence both the neuronal connectivity as well as functional activity

A

true

20
Q

definition: Practice of a functional skill without the need of major program correction.

  • Patient will experience error and self-correct as the program becomes more automatic and integrated.
A

functional training

21
Q

example: gait training with a cane

A

functional training

22
Q

definition: training where the treatment focus would be on correcting a subsystem impairment during an activity.

Strength, balance, and endurance limitations are looked at

A

impairment training

23
Q

definition: Training with external feedback and perimeter control over the motor program within the functional activity to express a portion of an aspect of the total response necessary to perform the desired movement

A

augmented feedback training

24
Q

What are 3 types of external feedback used during augmented feedback training?

A

verbal, visual, kinesthetic

25
Q

definition: training where the treatment focus is placed on increasing sensory awareness as a result of somatosensory cortical involvement.

A

somatosensory training

26
Q

examples:
- postural control in various situations
- attending to a neglected limb

A

somatosensory training

27
Q

What are the strategies of intervention?

A
  • movement strategies
  • sensory strategies
  • cognitive strategies
28
Q

What are movement strategies used to improve postural control?

A
  • control COM relative to the BOS
  • maintain alignment
29
Q

What are the sensory strategies used to improve postural control?

A

Learning to organize and select the most appropriate sensory input(s) for postural control

30
Q

What are the cognitive strategies used to improve postural control?

A

Learning to allocate attentional resources for postural control during performance of multiple tasks

31
Q

What are general movement strategies?

A
  • retraining reactive balance control
  • retraining anticipatory balance control
32
Q

What are ways to retrain reactive balance control?

A

external perturbations
pushes/pulls to the hips or shoulders

33
Q

What are examples of functional training for anticipatory control?

A

reaching, lifting, and throwing

34
Q

What are general sensory strategies?

A
  • absence of visual cues
  • decrease in somatosensory cues (compliant surfaces, moving surfaces)
  • increase reliance on vestibular input (reducing both vision and somatosensory inputs)
35
Q

What are general cognitive strategies?

A
  • single task balance training
  • dual task balance training
36
Q

What type of practice is better for motor conditioning?

39
Q

Is a cane or walker easier for patients with attentional demands?

A

rolling walker

40
Q

Much of the energy generation during gait comes from the _______ during “push-off’ in terminal stance

gastrocnemius

41
Q

One should work on climbing interventions with patients that have an issue with (concentric/eccentric) control
