26
Q

joint facilitation -approximation - contraindications

A

increased pain, fracture, joint replacements, inflammatory conditions (RA or JRA)

27
Q

Normal timing

A

sequence of muscle contractions for coordinated movements; proximal develops before distal (distal before proximal execution in adults)

28
Q

patterns of movement

A

based on groups of muscles that work synergistically in functional contexts

29
Q

patterns of movement - diagonal

A

patterns with spiral movements; allows muscles to contract from completely lengthened to completely shortened positions

30
Q

functional tasks - D1 UE

A

Basic pattern; self care tasks (feeding, grooming, washing hair); reaching to floor from chair seated position; holding toddlers hand while walking; using a leash to walk dog; pull luggage in airport; handshake, armswing in gait

31
Q

functional tasks - D2 UE

A

more advanced pattern; reaching out to others, zipping up clothes; pulling clothes out of dryer & hang on hanger; put on a seatbelt (could be both); waving in a crowded restaurant

32
Q

functional tasks - D1 LE

A

basic pattern; swing phase of gait; stair climbing; tying shoes while sitting; pulling your leg into bed; rolling over

33
Q

functional tasks - D2 LE

A

more advanced pattern; tennis, soccer or other sports that require quick lateral movements; ballet positions; lateral transfers: getting into car, tub/sliding board transfer; sideways walking (between two cars)

34
Q

scapular & pelvic patterns - why & position

A

improve quality, sequence, ROM & coordination of both trunk & extremity movements
Position: sidelying (or sitting if needed)

35
Q

functional tasks - scapular & pelvic patterns

A

rolling, reciprocal arm movements, scooting in supine & sitting & gait

36
Q

diagonals with scapula

A

posterior depression & anterior elevation

anterior depression & posterior elevation

37
Q

techniques related to motor control - mobility

A

initiate movement: rhythmic initiation, rhythmic rotation, repeated contractions
increase ROM: rhythmic initiation, hold relax, contract relax

38
Q

techniques related to motor control - stability

A

slow reversal hold, alternating isometrics, rhythmic stabilization

39
Q

techniques related to motor control -controlled mobility

A

slow reversals, slow reversal hold, repeated contractions, agonist reversals

40
Q

techniques related to motor control - skill

A

slow reversals, slow reversal hold, repeated contractions, agonist reversals, resisted progression

41
Q

rhythmic initiation (mobility)

A

initiate movement when hypertonia exists; progress PROM-AAROM-resisted ROM; slow & rhythmical (reduce hypertonia, allow full ROM)

42
Q

rhythmic rotation (mobility)

A

decrease hypertonia & increase ROM; passive movement; slow rotation around longitudinal axis

43
Q

hold/relax (mobility)

A

isometric contraction to increase ROM (patient’s w/no pain); joint to end of it’s range, isometric contraction of antagonist; resistance built up; once relaxation is achieved, limb moved to new range slowly & then repeated till no new range is attained

44
Q

hold relax active movement (HRAM) (mobility)

A

improve initiation of movement to muscle(s) tested 1/5

45
Q

contract/relax (mobility)

A

increase ROM; move pt to end range (hold/stretch), then provide resistance for isotonic contraction through full ROM in direction of antagonist (8-10 sec), then move back up through end range (start pos), should have new ROM, repeat until no new range is gained; not ideal for its in pain

46
Q

alternating isometrics (stability)

A

increase strength & endurance; isometric contractions performed alternating from muscles on one side of the joint to the other side without rest; maintain contact, use palms

47
Q

rhythmic stabilization (mobility & stability)

A

increase ROM-iso contractions of all muscles around a joint against progressive resistance; pt should relax & move into new range & repeat
coordinate isometric contractions-iso contractions of all muscles around joint against progressive resistance; should follow alternating isometrics if progressing stability

48
Q 
slow reversal (stability, controlled mobility, skill)
AKA- reversal of antagonists
A

improve control of movement & posture (strength, ROM, coordination, power); slow & resisted concentric contractions of agonists & antagonists w/out rest between reversals

49
Q

slow reversal hold (stability, controlled mobility, skill)

A

an isometric contraction at the end range of movement pattern is added before beginning the return pattern; hold is to facilitate stability at the joint (at end range)

50
Q

agonistic reversals (controlled mobility, skill)

A

increase strength/endurance, coordination, training eccentric control; isotonic movement; alternates between concentric & eccentric contractions of agonists

51
Q

resisted progression (skill)

A

resistance is used to increase strength & endurance, develop normal timing or reinforce motor learning; used during walking, creeping, crawling (walking - resist at pelvis, shoulder, rib cage)

52
Q

repeated contractions (mobility)

A

initiate & sustain movement through ROM; utilizes stretch reflex to promote initiation of muscle activity to reinforce & strengthen an existing contraction (repeated quick stretch); concentric contractions of components in agonist pattern

53
Q

joint distraction (mobility)

A

increase ROM; consistent manual traction is provided slowly & usually in combo w/mob techniques

54
Q

normal timing (skill)

A

improve coordination of all components of a task; distal to proximal; proximal components are restricted until distal components are activated & initiate movement; repetition of pattern produce coordinated movement of all components

55
Q

timing for emphasis (skill)

A

strengthen the weak components of a motor pattern; isotonic & isometric contractions produce overflow to weak muscles

56
