Stages of Motor Recovery Flashcards
Stage 1
Flaccid Paralysis
unable to initiate any volitional movement
Stage 2
Spasticity Emerging
synergistic movement able to be elicited
no voluntary movement
some resistance to passive movement
Stage 3
Marked Spasticity
attempted volitional movement produces synergist movement only
Stage 4
Spasticity Decreasing
synergist movement still present but able to move one joint out of the pattern
Stage 5
Relative independence from synergies
spasticity still present
able to illicit more independent movement out of the synergy
Stage 6
Almost normal
Isolated joint movement able to be performed
synergy elicited only at end of range, with rapid movement or with complex movement
Stage 7
normal
