Q

T or F: muscle strength is the rate limiting factor for early stance aquisition

A

F, kids need to build synergies from distal ankle up during pull-to-stand months

24
Q

sway _______ is adult-like by 9-12 y eyes open, 12-15 y eyes closed
sway ____ is adult-like by 12-15 years

A

amplitude
velocity

25
compared to adults, reactive muscle responses are ____________, causing compensatory postural adjustments that.........
variable and slower last longer and produce greater amplitude sway
26
As early as _____ children have anticipatory responses for movement. When are they adult like?
10 month 4-6 years old
27
What will happen if children only have vestibular information for postural control?
they'll fall
28
when can children reweight to solve sensory conflicts
10 years old
29
Young children (4-6 y.o. shower greater deterioration of performance in ___________ vs older children (7-13 y.o)
dual task
30
children 4-11 yrs swayed ___ when cog task was more __________
less difficult/engaging
31
individuals with CP will fall ______ than typically developing peers
more often
32
postural control deficits = ________ deficits
mobility
33
What is the big issue with the "crouched" posture (due to limited ROM) that kids with CP display?
crouched posture, even in TD children results in significant co-activation of muscles in response to perturbation
34
can alignment alone influence what strategies are effective and how muscles are recruited?
absolutely, think kids with cp
35
Children with CP and TD wearing solid AFOs demonstrated...
- decrease use of ankle strategy - delayed onset or no ankle muscle activity - increase use of hip and trunk muscles
36
AFO study suggests available ROM has a significant impact on ________ and _________ of muscles used for postural control
timing sequencing
37
postural sway is greater in _____- and more _______ in some children with CP vs TD peers
amplitude "regular"
38
is "regular" postural sway a good thing for kids with CP?
no. Increased regularity means decreased automaticity for postural control and decreased adaptability
39
Providing _______ improved sway amplitude and regularity in kids with CP
concurrent visual feedback
40
what are two sequencing problems that kids with CP experience
- reversal in muscle recruitment (proc to distal) - coactivation of agonists/antagonists
41
is coactivation an efficient response to perturbation
nope
42
is reflex excitability (spasticity) the primary impairement for delayed activation of postural responses?
no, regruitment and regulation of firing frequency may be the primary impairment
43
children with CP have difficulty __________ of in response to varying perturbations
scaling amplitude
44
Do kids with CP activate postural muscles in advance of voluntary movement?
no
45
Do children with CP have primary sensory impairments?
yes, especially vision
46
children with CP have difficulty with sensory ______ and __________
selection and reweighting
47
when SS was unreliable, children with CP were _____________ compared to TD peers without vision and with unreliable vision
more unstable (swayed more, faster LOB)
48
_______ interference contributes significantly to postural instability in children with CP
dual task
49
children with CP were significantly ____________ on secondary task when in narrow vs wide stance condition
less accurate
50
individuals with DS have __________ of falls throughout their lifespand
increase risk
51
What are 2 MSK impairments individuals with DS experience
hypotonia hypermobility/joint laxity
52
what are two reactive motor coordination probs those with DS experience
-delayed recruitment of proximal synergists leads to excessive motion at knee and hip - coactivation of agonist/antagonist
53
stretch reflex responses in those with DS are the same as TD, thus postural control differences are not due to _________
hypotonia and delayed DTR itself
54
T or F those with DS often do not activate or don't activate enough postural muscle in advance of voluntary movements
T
55
those with DS have sensory _______ probs
selection
56
those with DS are unable to ____________ responses to changing task situations
adapt/attenuate
