Q

what are considerations for determining if SCI pt is appropriate for gait training

A

ROM:
>10deg hip ext
~110 SLR
full knee ext
adequate lumbar ext
minimum of 5deg DF

UE strength
tolerance to upright
MSK integrity
endurance/cardiac condition
time since injury/acuity

16
Q

why is it important for good lumbar ext and DF in SCI pts for gait training

A

pts often hang on y ligs

17
Q

what is the NeuroRecovery Network (NRN)

A

network of rehab centers charged w developing and providing therapies that promote functional recovery and improve health of people living w paralysis

  • founded thru Christopher Reeve Foundation
18
Q

how does locomotor training work neurophysiologically speaking in SCI

A

tapping into neuroplasticity to restore locomotion

enhancing afferent input to SC

activates CPGs embedded in lumbosacral SC
- CPGs associated w reciprocal pattern of walking

19
Q

where are plastic changes induced w locomotor training

A

SC level

sensory motor cortex via intensive locomotor training, ONLY in incomplete SCI

20
Q

what are principles of neuroplasticity

A

use it or lose it
use it and improve it
specificity
repetition matters
intensity matters
time matters
salience matters
age matters
transference or generalization
interference

21
Q

what does BWST locomotor training target

A

relearning of nervous system motor patterns associated w walking
- kicks into CPGs w reciprocality of walking

22
Q

what does BWST locomotor training enable

A

early initiation of gait training (& standing)
integration of WBing activities
stepping and balance using task-specific approach
symmetrical gait pattern

23
Q

what provides sensory input for SCI during locomotor training and where is this input set

A

sensory info from:
- actual stepping
- manual contacts of PT
- contact of foot on ground

sensory info from legs and trunk repetitively sent to SC to CPGs

24
Q

what is a progression of BWST locomotor training

A

overground walking training
community ambulation

25
Q

how can maximal afferent input into LE be ensured during BWST locomotor training

A

LE maximally loaded for WB
- minimizing or eliminating loading of UEs

26
Q

what manual cues is the therapist providing during BWST locomotor training

A

bring LE into enough hip ext to trigger hip flex to take a step
- provide cues consistent w walking, facilitating flex/ext ms activation

27
Q

what component of BWST locomotor training is important to tap into neuro-motor recovery

A

inc speed as quickly and safely as possible
- HIT type of exercise

28
Q

what are the 2 main types of robotic assisted devices

A

move on their own regardless of what client is doing

augment or assist the active mvmts of the client
