Q

What is synergy in the context of motor recovery?

A

Synergy is a group of muscles that work together to provide patterns of movements, occurring in flexion and extension combinations.

Q

What is the progression of treatment for motor control skills?

A

Progress from stability to mobility to skill, elevate COM, narrow BOS, increase cognitive demand, and move towards dynamic and open environments.

Q

What are the skills involved in bed mobility?

A

Moving in bed (bridging and scooting), rolling from supine to side lying, rolling from sidelying to supine/prone, and transitioning from supine/sidelying to sit.

Q

What are the benefits of hook lying?

A

Promotes early trunk and hip stability, dynamic postural control, and functional skills like scooting in bed and dressing.

20
Q

What are common deficits observed in hook lying?

A

Arching/rotating the spine with diminished hamstrings activity, and raising foot with minimal knee flexion indicating lack of core stability.

21
Q

How can you assist a patient in assuming the hook lying position?

A

Patient pushes heel onto mat with knee extended while sliding opposite heel toward buttocks with verbal cues and light resistance.

22
Q

What is bridging in bed mobility?

A

Active transition from hook lying, extending hips and elevating pelvis from the support surface with lumbar spine in neutral position.

23
Q

What are the primary muscles involved in bridging?

A

Lower trunk and hip muscles, gluteus maximus for hip extension, and ankle/foot muscles for stabilization.

24
Q

What are the key points to observe during task analysis of bridging?

A

Pelvis should be in neutral position with movement through bilateral hip extension and symmetrical weight bearing through LE.

25
Q

What is scooting in bed mobility?

A

Active lateral pelvic shift to reposition the whole body, important for positional changes in bed and moving to the edge of the bed before sitting up.

26
Q

What mobility requirements are needed for scooting?

A

Hip abduction/adduction, external/internal rotation, and ability to lengthen/shorten lateral trunk flexors.

27
Q

What is the significance of rolling in bed mobility?

A

Early functional activity, improves bed mobility, leads to LE dressing and independent transfer from supine to sit.

28
Q

How do you assist a patient in rolling to the involved side?

A

Start by turning the head to the side towards which the patient is going to roll, watch the movement, and use rhythmic initiation.

29
Q

How do you assist a patient in rolling to the uninvolved side?

A

Cross one foot over the other to assist in rolling and use the momentum of the UE, especially in SCI.

30
Q

What are the stages of motor recovery?

A

Flaccidity, spasticity, isolated movements, coordinated movements.

31
Q

What are synergy patterns?

A

Groups of muscles working together to provide movement patterns in flexion and extension combinations.

32
Q

What is the importance of positioning after stroke?

A

Stimulates motor function, improves respiratory function, maintains ROM, minimizes deformities, and prevents pressure ulcers.

33
Q

Describe the positioning of the UE in supine.

A

Small towel under shoulder, external rotation, abducted 30 degrees, extended forearm supinated, wrist extended, finger extension.

34

Assess motor function, balance, ROM, and pain, with high reliability.

35

  • sensation
  • balance
  • joint ROM

A

Function and quality of life post-stroke with 59 items in 8 subgroups.

41
Q

Describe types of motor control skills.

A

42
Q

What is the progression of treatment for motor skills?

A

From stability to mobility to skill, elevate COM, narrow BOS, increase cognitive demand.

43
Q

What are the goals of bed mobility techniques?

A

Promote independence, facilitate efficient and pain-free movements, prepare for self-care activities.

44
Q

List the skills involved in bed mobility.

A

Moving in bed, rolling, transitioning from supine/sidelying to sit.
