Q

Hyperarousal

A

restlessness, agitation, or delirium

24
Q

Hypoarousal

A

drowsiness to stupor/coma

25
Q

Coma

A

unarousable/unresponsive

26
Q

Stupor

A

takes vigorous stimulation to arouse

27
Q

Persistent Vegetative State (PVS

A

– damage to the cerebral cortex where link to the brainstem is destroyed. Mentation is absent even with random movements.

28
Q

Locked in Syndrome

A

– damage to the pons with no mental deficits by an inability to move anything but the eyes.

29
Q

Brain Death

A

destruction of both upper and lower parts of the reticular information in the brain stem.

30
Q

Consciousness: Attention

A

Attention is the primary step in the memory process, integral in learning.

31
Q

Focused Attention

A

– respond to different stimuli, physical and mental components, good posture or body orientation.

32
Q

Sustained Attention

A

vigilance, attend for a long time (associated with R hemisphere). (cutting vegetables for long time)

33
Q

Selective Attention

A

activating and inhibiting responses selectively (hearing your name in the busy mall)

34
Q

Alternating Attention

A

alternating between mental tasks (Cooking dinner)

35
Q

Divided Attention

A

do several things at once (taking on the phone and washing the dishes).

36
Q

Memory Problems

A

Memory is how an individual encodes, stores, and retrieves information that require input from the environment, change in CNS, maintenance of that change and an output (behavior).

37
Q

Working Memory

A

Holding a though while performing a different cognitive task

38
Q

Declarative Memory

A

the ability to retain information, facts, past experiences.

39
Q

Procedural Memory

A

learning skills and habits of something that is done (riding a bike).

40
Q

Double Vision

A

occurs when eyes are not in alignment and the image falls on the fovea in one eye (caused by oculomotor dysfunction) and on an extrafoveal location on the other eye, perceived two images. Can be resolved with monocular vision (cover one eye) if neurological. Individual might adapt a abnormal head posture to compensate.

41
Q

Saccades

A

jumping from item to another item

42
Q

Diplopia Assessing

A

convergence and ocular motor range of motion/ocular mobility (TEST – Cover-Uncover Test) used to evoke a fixation eye movement

43
Q

Intervention for Diplopia

A
  1. Fully occlusion over one eye (wear a path)
  2. Partial Occlusion – tape placed on individual’s glasses, blurs central vision of the partially occluded eye stopping double vision or opaque tape to the nasal field of one eye (non-dominant eye)
  3. Optical aides – prisms
  4. Eye exercises – convergence (crossing the eyes).
44
Q

What is the normal vision field?

A

Normal visual field 65 degrees upward, 75 degrees downward, 60 degrees inward, and 95 degrees outward when the eye is in forward gaze position

45
Q

Hemianopsia, Hemianopia, Hemiopia

A

half blind, loss of half the vision in both eyes

46
Q

Homonymus

A

visual field impairment is common after ABI (acquired brain injury), 40% with spontaneous 3 months recovery- if not possible they will likely have to live with the deficit

47
Q

Screen for Hemianopsia ?

A

– Confrontation Test (important to differentiate between hemianopsia and neglect, they can occur together and separate).

48
Q

Interventions for Hemianopsia?

A
  1. Saccadic training – training people to make broader searches, large scale eye movements towards the blind hemifield, small scale eye movements with the goal of improving reading.
  2. Reading – use a ruler to keep track of line
  3. Strengthening the person’s attention to the blind hemifield, improving the ability to direct gaze movement towards the involved side
  4. Exploring the involved side more efficiently
  5. Improving saccadic exploration towards blind hemifield
  6. Prisms
49
Q

Visuospatial Impairments

A

Visuospatial Impairments are the most common impairments observed after stroke, high as 38%.
This could cause; difficulty reaching for objects, feelings that one’s arms were too short, not being able to figure out how to get one’s body into a car, feeling unsafe, familiar objects not being unfamiliar, difficulty finding everyday objects, and difficulties with w/c maneuvering.

50
Q

Assessment for Visuospatial impairment consist of?

A

The Motor Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT) – Scores 0-36 with scores less than or equal to 30 indicate poor vision and more then 30 indicate good visual perception.
The Arnadottir OT – ADL (A-ONE) – Effects of spatial impairments on daily living tasks such as mobility, feeding, grooming, and dressing.

51
Q

Spatial Relations

A

The ability to process and interpret visual information about where objects are in space, relating objects to each other and self.

52
Q

Spatial Relations: Assessment?

A

Cross test

copy 2 dimensional design, place item in certain orientation.

53
Q

Spatial Relations: Intervention Restorative?

A
  1. Retrieve objects by verbally request ‘get the brush on top of the dresser behind the picture frame’
  2. Have client place items around room, then back to starting spot verbalize where all the times are located, then gather items.
  3. Use tactile-kinesthetic guiding
  4. Use landmarks for location to orient self
54
Q

Spatial Relations: Intervention Adaptive?

A

Necessary items are in a consistent space

Mark drawers, cabinets.. where key items are.

55
Q

Depth Perception

A

The process of the visual system that interpret depth information from a viewed scene and build 3-dimensional understanding of the scene.

56
Q

Depth Perception: Assessment

A

Functional tasks
Ask client to grab pen off table or out of your hand, pour a glass of water.
Need to rule out apraxia, hand eye coordination, ataxia, and visual acuity.
Stand 20 feet away from 3 signs, which is closest/furthest

57
Q

Depth Perception: Interventions?

A

Intervention: Restorative – provide tactile-kinesthetic guiding during task – feel the depth, distance, and size during functional tasks
Adaptive: adapt environment – bright tape at edges, use intact sensory system, verbal cueing specially if safety concern, educate client and family.
