Q

Hierarchial Control Theory

A
  • CNS organized from top-down
  • Areas shape and determine motor plans
  • High: organize sensory motor, decision making (association cortex, basal ganglia)
  • Middle: define specific motor programs, initiate commands (sensorimotor cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, brainstem)
  • Lower: execute movement (spinal cord)
  • Higher levels needed for initial skill acquisition
  • As motor learning develops, only lower levels activated for motor programming

  • Abnormal movement patterns (compensations) are not tolerated
  • Key points of control: Shoulder, Pelvis, Hand, Foot
50
Q

NDT (5 basic components of movement)

A
  • Trunk control and movement (Estabish trunk stability to superimpose head and limb control)
  • Head control on trunk (Head aligns on stable trunk)
  • Midline orientation (Pt learns where midline is and begins moving away from and toward midline)
  • Movement over BOS (Move trunk over BOS, prep for standing)
  • Limb function on trunk (Allows for contact with environment, trunk stability = better limb function)
51
Q

Brunnstrom (Movement Therapy in Hemiplegia)

A
  • Synergy is primitive patterns that occur at the SC as a result of CNS hierarchial organization
  • Uses synergy to restore function
  • Reinforcing synergies are difficult to change later
  • Focus on pattern of movement
  • Initial limb synergies encouraged as necessary milestone for recovery
  • Encourage overflow to recruit active movement
  • Use of repetition of task and positive reinforcement
52
Q

Brunnstrom (7 stages of recovery)

A
  • Stg 1: No volitional movement of limbs can be elicited
  • Stg 2: Appearance of basic limb synergies as associated reactions; beginning of spasticity
  • Stg 3: Voluntary control of movement synergies, although not full range; spasticity increases, may be severe
  • Stg 4: Spasticity decreases; movement combos that don’t follow paths of synergy are mastered
  • Stg 5: Further decrease in spasticity; independence from limb synergy
  • Stg 6: Disappearance of spasticity; isolated jt movement with coordination
  • Stg 7: Normal motor function restored
  • Pt may experience plateau at any stage of recovery, preventing full recovery
53
Q

A
0 = No increase in muscle tone
1 = Slight increase in muscle tone; catch-and-release, or min resistance at end of ROM when affected part moved in flexion/extension
1+ = Slight increase in muscle tone; catch, or min resistance throughout remainder (less than half) of ROM
2 = More marked increase in muscle tone throughout most of ROM, but affected part easily moved
3 = Considerable increase in muscle tone, passive movement difficult
4 = Affected part(s) rigid in flexion/extension
54

  • Originally developed for neurological conditions
  • True PNF has more specific hand placements
  • Stronger parts of body are utilized to stimulate and strengthen the weaker parts
55

  • Observation of functional performance, analysis of strategies used to accomplish tasks; assessment of impairments
  • Design and implement effective recovery and compensatory strategies
  • Retrain using functional activities
    Evaluation determines degree of impairment, intervention designed at level of impairment
  • Tasks broken down into components of the task for practice
62
Q

CIMT (Constraint induced movement therapy)

A
  • Restrain uninvolved extremity; forces use of involved extermity
  • Most research focuses on UE because gait is natural CIMT
  • Concentrated time frame (intense - multiple hours); repetitive practice; task- specific (practice of multiple tasks
63
Q

Functional, Task-oriented training

A
  • Combined with motor control and motor learning, task-oriented training is leading approach to intervention
  • Enhances recovery and re-acquire skill
  • Functional task - focused on functional tasks; Motor control - Based on level of impairments
  • PTA acts as “coach” and implements feedback with skill: Initial movements assisted or guided, active movements are overall goal
64
Q

Kleim Article (10 principles of neuroplasticity)

A
  • Use it or lose it (failure to drive specific brain functions = degradation)
  • Use it and improve it (training that drives specific brain function = enhancement)
  • Specificity (Nature of training experience dictates nature of plasticity)
  • Repetition matters (Plasticity requires sufficient repetition)
  • Intensity matters (Plasticity requires sufficient training intensity)
  • Time matters (Different forms of plasticity occur at different times during training)
  • Salience matters (Plasticity requires sufficient salience)
  • Age matters (Training plasticity occurs more readily in younger brains)
  • Transference (Plasticity in response to one training experience can enhance acquisition of similar behaviors)
  • Interference (Plasticity in response to one training experience can interfere with acquisition of other behaviors)
