Quiz 3 Flashcards
What problem areas do the sensorimotor approach address?
motor, sensorimotor, perception + cognition
What does the sensorimotor approach focus on?
motor skills, sensory integration, + processing skills
What clients benefit from the sensorimotor approach?
motor difficulties, mental disorders, all ages
What does function look like in the sensorimotor FOR?
ability to learn + use all age-level skills
What does dysfunction look like for a child using sensorimotor FOR?
decreased achievement in age-level milestones
What does dysfunction look like for an adult using sensorimotor FOR?
neurological or physiological interference w/ daily life
What is the sensorimotor treatment focus?
participation in movement + games to produce adaptive response in functional/meaningful activities
How is change in neurological function brought about?
sensory stimulation, repetition, self-directed goals
What changes occur with physical activity?
muscle tone, strength, ROM + chemical brain changes
What is the role of the OT in the sensorimotor FOR?
leader - equipment + ideas ready, takes cues from clients, motivation, provides just right challenges, knowledgable in SI + neuro
What are some possible sensorimotor goals?
sensory stimulation for adaptive response, improve or maintain, motivate, higher cognitive skills, feedback + problem-solving, sense of mastery + well-being
What are some examples of sensorimotor activities?
parachute, exercise, music in movement
What do new games provide?
ability to express aggressiveness w/o competition for all levels + ages
What do parachute games provide?
reaching, neck extension, spine flexion, vestibular + proprioception
What do bioenergetic provide?
ability to express feelings through movement (ex. breathing)
What are exercise groups?
exercise to music, motivating/encouraging, education, reinforcement, progress checks, mutual support, feedback
What are sensorimotor activity groups addressing anxiety, hostility and despair?
What are some examples?
What are some behaviors addressed?
alternative to seclusion + restraint but not a reward in school, mental health + correctional facilities
applying heat or cold, wrapping in blankets, bean bag chairs, swing, music, etc.
agitation, wandering, withdrawal, lethargy, stress
*survey should be completed prior detailing preferences, patterns + sensitivities
What is the Ross 5 stage group?
What are some alerting examples?
What are some calming examples?
includes severely impaired + chronically ill clients participating in organized sequences that are either calming or alerting
ice, smells, vibration
massage, blanket
What are movement groups?
What are some examples?
includes CP + motor delay clients -
encourages imitation, peer support + feedback - builds social skills, confidence + self-efficacy
gardening, fishing, animal walks, balloon games
What are task-oriented groups for those with physical disabilities?
goals + tasks decided through client interviews
What are music in movement groups?
can relax or invigorate
What is the process of group leadership?
intro - cognitive level explanation w/
warm up
activity - 30 to 50 min, facilitate
adaptive response, several short
activities
sharing + processing - express
feelings about group work
generalizing - other ways clients can
get sensorimotor input
What is the focus of the Allen cognitive disabilities group?
measure + monitor problem solving + safety
What are the methods for providing assistance?
facilitate, probe, observe, rescue
What is cognitive disability?
limitations in sensorimotor actions due to physical/chemical brain structures producing limits in routine task behavior
What is task analysis?
determining complexity by breaking it into steps
What is the Allen functional info processing system?
cues - environment + materials
attention
action/activity - combines cues +
attention to elicit response
What are the categories for considering cognitive impact on task performance?
attention, motor actions, cognitive awareness
What are the 6 cognitive levels?
1 - automatic
2 - postural
3 - manual
4 - goal directed
5 - exploratory
6 - planned
What are automatic actions?
client usually bed ridden, do not benefit from group, respond to internal cues
OT should provide sensory stimulation for motor response
What are postural actions?
imitate gross motor actions, respond to proprioceptive input, can assist care giver, 24 care needed, do not benefit from group
What are manual actions?
perform manual actions in response to tactile cues, 30 sec attention span, basic independent grooming tasks, need supervision
What are goal directed actions?
more purposeful activity, asks for assistance, basic living skills, responds to visual cues, need assistance with new + more advanced things
What are exploratory actions?
trial + error, inductive learning, imitates new procedures, can be given choices, deficits in anticipation + planning, concrete thinking
What are planned actions?
no disability, deductive reasoning, plans ahead, organized behavior, verbal + written directions, use of symbols
What is function and dysfunction in the Allen FOR?
continuum - focused on learning optimal environment for safe + purposeful participation
What does change and motivation look like according to the Allen FOR?
if change is irreversible -> manipulate
environment
strategies -> lighting, assistance,
choices
reinforcers -> success + positive
social response
What does cognitive disability group intervention look like?
homogeneous, level 3+, some client move up, others plateau
What is the role of the leader in the Allen FOR?
directive - chooses task + limits choices; focus on task analysis, environment, instructing
What is the structure and goal for a level 2/3 group?
movement activities
What is the structure and goal for a level 3 group?
manipulation + repetition, 30 min
What is the structure and goal for a level 4 group?
goal directed, limited attention, <1 hr, have finished sample, helpful demonstration, probing questions, remove distraction, clearly mark supplies
What is the structure and goal for a level 5 group?
focus on safety, impulsive w/ lack of planning, more complex directions
What is the process of an Allen group?
intro - explain purpose
activity - leader + client interaction,
doing, clean up
sharing - informal w/ recognition
processing - express feelings at end
generalizing - only at level 5
application - to everyday life
