Sensory Impairments NM connditions I

Question 1

sensory detection deficit

Answer 1

The primary movement dysfunction is the inability to execute intersegmental movement due to lack of joint position sense or multi -sensory failure affecting joint position sense, vision, and/or the vestibular system. May involve UE, LE, or both.

Question 2

sensory selection and weighting deficit

Answer 2

The primary movement dysfunction is the inability to maintain postural orientation or motor performance as a result of decreased ability to screen for and attend to appropriate sensory inputs. Patients may demonstrate sensory seeking or sensory avoidance behaviors.

Question 3

postural vertical deficit

Answer 3

The primary movement system problem is the tendency to resist correction of center-of-mass alignment related to an inaccurate perception of vertical orientation, resulting in postural control deficits. The condition may be in the medial/lateral or anterior/posterior direction.

Question 4

cognitive deficit

Answer 4

The primary deficit in movement is impaired motor control related to lack of cognitive arousal, attention, or ability to apply meaning to situation that is appropriate for age
