Q

when would you use an augmented approach

A

“jump start” functional recovery

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
what is the technique to PNF
use resistance, quick stretch, proprioceptive input to improve flexibility, stability, motor control, initiation of movement, strength, function
26
what does the literature say about PNF
poorly supported does improve ms length (per low quality studies, and no more than other approaches would)
27
what is an important consideration in the real-world application of PNF
clinically often performed in less pure manner than in class
28
how can you vary components of PNF
surface position use of resistance bands cuff weights
29
what is the biggest problem w PNF exercises
not functional
30
what was Rood one of the first to propose
link b/w motor response & sensory input - used multi-modal sensory inputs to improve motor funciton
31
what was Rood's primary contribution
described stages of motor control - mobility-stability concepts
32
what is the relevance of Rood's stages of motor control now
based on outdated neurophys and models of motor control (ie reflex, hierarchal models) still used clinically
33
how does Rood describe mobility? what is a synonymous term used today?
moving into position or posture involves change in COG and/or BOS - aka transitional mobility
34
how does Rood describe stability? what is a synonymous term used today?
ability to maintain posture or position - aka static postural control
35
how does Rood describe controlled mobility? what is a synonymous term used today?
closed chain WTS or other movement - aka dynamic postural control
36
how does Rood describe skill? what are examples of this?
open chain, distal segment moving on stable proximal base ex: amb, reaching, grasping, manipulating
37
what are Rood's stages of motor control
mobility -> stability -> controlled mobility -> skill
38
what are examples of mobility per Rood's definition
ex: rolling, sup to sit, sit to stand
39
what impairments might contribute to impaired mobility (6)
altered tone reduced ms length lack of isolated ms activation/ACOM lack of coordination dec strength impaired sensation
40
what are interventions to improve mobility (7)
hold relax rhythmic rotation rhythmic initiation NDT inhibitory handling NDT facilitaiton soft tissue/joint mob task-oriented re-training
41
how is stability achieved
tonic holding involving active postural ms, co-contraction in limbs (agonist + antagonist)
42
what biomechanical factors should be considered when it comes to mobility
BOS COM gravitational forces postural alignment
43
what are contributing impairments to stability (5)
weakness low ms tone poor recruitment of tonic motor units lack of sensation poor WB tolerance
44
what are interventions to treat stability
stabilizing reversals rhythmic stabilization facilitation via: - quick swiping - maintained touch - resistance - joint approx - external supports
45
what are examples of controlled mobility per Rood's definition
wt shifiting in WB position - moving w/i posture or position closed chain movement involving concentric and eccentric control
46
what are impairments contributing to poor controlled mobility (8)
pain weakness abnormal alignment impaired postural control impaired motor control poor motor planning lack of coordination impaired sensation
47
what are interventions to promote controlled mobility (4)
NDT facilitation dynamic reversals combo of isotonics task oriented re-training
48
what is required for skilled movements/actions
normal timing and sequencing prox holding/dynamic stability
49
what are characteristics of skill per Rood's definition
distal parts move freely in space; open-chain rotational components
50
what are contributing impairments to poor skill (4)
prox weakness impaired ACOM/abnormal synergies impaired sensation impaired coordination
51
what are interventions for skill (4)
task oriented re-training PNF extremity patterns resisted progression NDT facilitation
