Q

how can an augmented approach be transitioned to a task-oriented one

A

augmented approach to allow pt to achieve success w task -> learn task and successful

motivated to continue w therapy -> inc ability -> need less help -> use functional task-oriented approach

Q

what are 4 variables of NDT

A
  1. body position/posture & support surface
  2. manual contacts/key points of control
  3. type/mode of facilitation
  4. prevent extraneous, maladaptive, primitive movement patterns
22
Q

what other interventions is NDT often combined with? why?

A

other augmented approaches
task-oriented retraining

helps person be more functional

23
Q

what is the theory PNF is based on

A

ability, strength, and endurance are developed by active participation
- applying PNF recognizes hidden potential exists and developed by response to a demand; frequency or repetition is important to learning process

24
Q

where can PNF patterns be applied (4)

A

extremity
scapula
trunk
pelvis

25
Q

what is the technique to PNF

A

use resistance, quick stretch, proprioceptive input to improve flexibility, stability, motor control, initiation of movement, strength, function

26
Q

what does the literature say about PNF

A

poorly supported
does improve ms length (per low quality studies, and no more than other approaches would)

27
Q

what is an important consideration in the real-world application of PNF

A

clinically often performed in less pure manner than in class

28
Q

how can you vary components of PNF

A

surface
position
use of resistance bands
cuff weights

29
Q

what is the biggest problem w PNF exercises

A

not functional

30
Q

what was Rood one of the first to propose

A

link b/w motor response & sensory input
- used multi-modal sensory inputs to improve motor funciton

31
Q

what was Rood’s primary contribution

A

described stages of motor control
- mobility-stability concepts

32
Q

what is the relevance of Rood’s stages of motor control now

A

based on outdated neurophys and models of motor control (ie reflex, hierarchal models)

still used clinically

33
Q

how does Rood describe mobility? what is a synonymous term used today?

A

moving into position or posture
involves change in COG and/or BOS
- aka transitional mobility

34
Q

how does Rood describe stability? what is a synonymous term used today?

A

ability to maintain posture or position
- aka static postural control

35
Q

how does Rood describe controlled mobility? what is a synonymous term used today?

A

closed chain WTS or other movement
- aka dynamic postural control

36
Q

how does Rood describe skill? what are examples of this?

A

open chain, distal segment moving on stable proximal base

ex: amb, reaching, grasping, manipulating

37
Q

what are Rood’s stages of motor control

A

mobility -> stability -> controlled mobility -> skill

38
Q

what are examples of mobility per Rood’s definition

A

ex: rolling, sup to sit, sit to stand

39
Q

what impairments might contribute to impaired mobility (6)

A

altered tone
reduced ms length
lack of isolated ms activation/ACOM
lack of coordination
dec strength
impaired sensation

40
Q

what are interventions to improve mobility (7)

A

41
Q

how is stability achieved

A

tonic holding involving active postural ms, co-contraction in limbs (agonist + antagonist)

42
Q

what biomechanical factors should be considered when it comes to mobility

A

BOS
COM
gravitational forces
postural alignment

43
Q

what are contributing impairments to stability (5)

A

weakness
low ms tone

A

- resistance
- joint approx
- external supports

45

what are examples of controlled mobility per Rood’s definition

A

A

pain
