A

lower extremity performance such as strength, balance and mobility in older adults

24
Q

What is the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) used to examine?

6 things

A

Multiple aspects of postural control

- Stability limits
- Anticipatory-transitions
- Postural responses
- Sensory organization
- Dynamic gait
25
Q

What are 3 strategies used to examine balance?

A
  • Postural alignment
  • Movement strategies
  • Sensory strategies
26
Q

What are 4 things to assess when examining alignment?

A
  • Posture
  • Weight bearing
  • Width of base of support
  • Location of the CoP
27
Q

Why are automatic postural responses needed?

A

To keep the center of gravity over the BOS in response to a stimulus or unexpected perturbation

28
Q

Describe automatic postural responses

A

They are rapid movements that are not under voluntary control

29
Q

What are 3 automatic postural responses?

A
  • ankle
  • hip
  • stepping
30
Q

Postural responses can either be _____ or ______.

A

adaptive or reactive

31
Q

What are 4 movement strategies?

A
  • Steady state (sitting and standing)
  • Reactive (sitting and standing)
  • Anticipatory postural control
  • Adaptive control
32
Q

What test is used to test reactive movement strategies?

A

The Nudge Test

33
Q

Describe the nudge test

A

The subject stands with their feet as close together as possible and then the examiner pushes lightly on subject’s sternum with palm of their hand 3 times

34
Q

What is the grading criteria for the nudge test?

A

0: Begins to fall
1: Staggers, grabs, catches self
2: Steady

35
Q

What is a proactive postural response?

A

A response that occurs before the prime mover in preparation for a perturbation

36
Q

Give an example of a proactive postural response

A

Preparing to lift a heavy bag of groceries. This is the body’s way to prepare for a ‘predicted’ perturbation

37
Q

What is adaptive control?

A

The body’s way of adapting to movement strategies to changes in the BOS

38
Q

What is the normal response to a small backward displacement?

A

Dorsiflexion in both feet

39
Q

What is an abnormal response that is often seen in hemiparetic patients to a small backward displacement?

A

The loss of dorsiflexion on the hemiparetic side

40
Q

What test is used to examine sensory strategies to maintaining balance?

A

Clinical Test for Sensory Interaction in Balance (CTSIB)

*This test is the one with the 6 various surface and visual conditions

41
Q

When examining on the impairment level what 3 systems must be examined?

A
  • motor
  • sensory/perceptual
  • cognitive
42
Q

What approach seems to work the best when retraining balance?

A

Task-Oriented Approach

43
Q

The goals of a task-oriented approach to treating a patient with postural control problems include therapeutic strategies on what 3 levels?

A

1) Impairment
2) Strategy
3) Functional

44
Q

What is the goal on the impairment level?

A

Resolve, reduce, or prevent impairments in systems that are important to balance

45
Q

What is the goal on the strategy level?

A

Develop effective task-specific sensory, motor, and cognitive strategies

46
Q

A

Retrain functional tasks with varying postural control demands (e.g., steady-state, reactive, and anticipatory control) under changing environmental contexts

47
Q

All 3 levels should be worked on in _____

A

PARALLEL

48
Q

What is the ULTIMATE goal of task-oriented balance rehabilitation?

A

To improve participation outcomes, reflected in the ability (increased frequency, independency, and reduced falls) to participate in social roles, tasks, and activities important in ADLs.

49
Q

What are 4 ways to progress exercises to improve the control of a patient’s center of gravity in sitting?

A
  • Removing UE support
  • Making the surface less stable
  • Add UE activities
  • Increase limits of stability through reaching and throwing activities
50
Q

What are 4 ways to progress exercises to improve the control of a patient’s center of gravity in standing?

A
  • Slow weight shifts on a stable platform
  • Elastic band LE exercise
  • Standing sway
  • Sit to stand
  • Tai Chi
  • Add UE activities and functional activities
51
Q

What are 3 exercises to help promote the ankle strategy?

A
  • Standing sway exercises
  • Slow small perturbations either self generated or external
  • Computerized limits of stability training (Balance Master)
52
Q

What are 3 ways to progress exercises to help promote ankle strategy?

A
  • Increase difficulty with UE, head, or eye movements
  • Functional activities (reaching to take objects off shelves, leaning backwards to rinse hair in shower)
  • Add resistance (TheraBand)
53
Q

What are 7 exercises to help promote the hip strategy?

A
  • Standing sway using a table and a wall, patient instructed to bow to move nose towards the table
  • Standing on a rail, add UE activities as able
  • Use moderate rapid perturbations either self generated or external
  • Tandem standing (sharpened Romberg) or walking
  • Single limb support
  • Large anterior/posterior weight shifts on a variety of surfaces
  • Functional activities (reaching into trunk of a car, laundry dryer)
54
Q

What are 5 exercises to help promote the stepping strategy?

A
  • Standing sway with large sways, consciously taking step forward and backward
  • Ambulate in tandem, promote balance steps
  • Stepping over obstacles
  • Walking on uneven surfaces
  • Large rapid perturbations such that the hip strategy would be inadequate and stepping or reaching is required; progress from predictable to unpredictable disturbances
55
Q

How can you retrain vertical alignment?

A

Using a mirror

56
Q

What are 4 helpful cues to teaching balance activities?

A
  • Do one thing at a time
  • Avoid carrying objects when walking or going up and down steps
