Q

A

The absolute change in score necessary to conclude genuine change is the same for both improvement and deterioration in performance. (what is clinically important for the patient)

Q

Functional Reach Test detects

A

Detects balance impairments and changes in balance performance over time

21
Q

What populations is the functional reach test good for?

A

Older adults, repeat fallers, Parkinson’s pts

22
Q

The score in a functional reach test that is a predictor for falls

A

Less than or equal to 6 cm

23
Q

Time Chair Rise score that is an indicator for fall risk

A

Greater than 15 sec is indicator for fall risk

24
Q

Berg Balance test is good for what populations?

A

Older pts, MS, stroke

25
Q

Berg Balance score that is associated with increase risk for falls?

A

less than 45 seconds

26
Q

Berg Balance Scores that indicate low risk for falls

A

41-56

27
Q

Berg Balance score that indicates medium fall risk

A

21-40

28
Q

Berg Balance Score associated with high fall risk

A

0-20

29
Q

Tinetti Assessment Tool is what type of test?

A

Task-oriented test that measures balance and gait abilities in older adults. Also, examines different components of balance and gait.

30
Q

Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) score for high risk

A

less than 19

31
Q

POMA score for medium risk

A

19-24

32
Q

POMA score of low risk

A

greater than 24

33
Q

Dynamic Gait Index evaluates what?

A

Functional stability and risk of falling during gait activities in older adults
ex. stairs, turning head, changing gait speed

34
Q

Dynamic Gait Index is good for finding what?

A

useful in capturing problems that are difficult to detect with static balance measures

35
Q

Dynamic Gait Index is good for what populations

A

Older adults, vestibular dysfunction, MS, stroke

36
Q

Dynamic Gait Index score for high risk for falls

A

Less than 16

37
Q

Score for the Dynamic Gait Index that is a decreased risk for falls

A

greater than 19

38
Q

Dynamic Gait Index score that is considered safe for ambulation

A

greater than 22

39
Q

Gait speed is a valid measure of what?

A

The ability to walk in older adults (over 60yo)

Shorter stride lengths and decreased gait speed increase the risk of falling

40
Q

Hoffer Classification- Nonambulatory

A

W/C bound

41
Q

Hoffer Classification: Therapeutic

A

Only walks in therapy (with aides also at home, school, hospital)

42
Q

Hoffer Classification: Household

A

walks only indoors, otherwise use W/C (furniture walkers)

43
Q

Hoffer Classification: Community Walker

A

Can walk indoors and outdoors for short time periods, but uses W/C long community trips

44
Q

Neonatal Theories- Supplemental Stimulation (1970s)

A

Premature infants develop differently b/c of sensory deprivation due to decreased exposure to the intrauterine environment. (so overstimulate the baby) But babies couldn’t handle all the stimulation

45
Q

Neonatal Theories- Environmental Modulation

A

Developmental differences are due to sensory stress and overload

Immature nervous system = decreased ability to habituate to sensory stimulus

Decrease stimuli

46
Q

Synactive Theory of Infant Development- Current Theory

A

Dynamic system formed by interaction of the infant, caregiver, and environment with focus on behavioral organization

(Blend of stimulation and protection from stimulation

47
Q

Positive effects of Kangaroo care

A

Temperature regulation, weight gain, sleep, breathing, state organization, physiologic stability, energy conservation, parent-infant bonding

48
Q

Benefits of infant massage

A

Improved daily weight gain, improved sleep, enhanced mother-infant communication and interaction

49
Q

Noise and Light Recommendations

A

Noise level <646 lux (60 ft candles)
