NPT I - Practical 1 Flashcards
What is dysmetria?
Overshoot/undershoot a target
What is diadokokinesis?
Rapid alternating movements
Ashworth Grade 0
No increase in muscle tone
Ashworth Grade 1
Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by catch and release or by minimal assistance at end ROM when part is moved
Ashworth Grade 2
Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch, followed by minimal resistance throughout the remainder (< 50%) of the ROM
Ashworth Grade 3
More marked increase in muscle tone through most (> 50%) of the ROM, but the affected part is easily moved
Ashworth Grade 4
Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement is difficult
Brunnstrom stage 1
Flaccid limb
Ashworth Grade 5
Affected part is rigid in position
Brunnstrom stage 2
Minimum voluntary movement; associative reactions
Brunnstrom stage 3
Voluntary movement synergies; peak of spasticity
Brunnstrom stage 4
Out of synergy (HBB, elevate arm to horizontal)
Brunnstrom stage 5
Able to do more difficult movements (abduct arm, reach overhead)
Brunnstrom stage 6
Isolated joint movement; nearly normal coordination
Brunnstrom stage 7
Normal motor function
Ashworth scale grade 0
No increase in muscle tone
Ashworth scale grade 1
Slight increase in muscle tone; catch and release followed by minimal resistance at end range
Ashworth scale grade 2
Catch and release; minimal resistance throughout ROM
Ashworth scale grade 3
More marked increase in muscle tone; affected joint still moves easily
Ashworth scale grade 4
Considerable increase in tone; difficult PROM
Ashworth scale grade 5
Rigid
