Traditional Approaches & Theories of Motor Control Flashcards
Who is responsible for the sensory integration approach to neuro rehab?
Ayers
According to Ayers, what are the 7 neuro sensory systems?
- Vestibular
- Tactile
- Proprioception
- Auditory
- Visual
- Olfactory
- Gustatory
Who is responsible for neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT)?
The Bobaths
Describe the Bobaths approach to neurological rehab
They stressed exercises that tended to normalize muscle tone and prevent excessive spasticity through special reflex-inhibiting postures & movements
Who developed the movement theory approach to neurological rehab?
Brunnstrom
What did Brunnstrom believe?
She believed that synergistic activation of muscles would transition into voluntary activation with training
According to Brunnstrom what are the stages of sequential motor recovery after CVA?
1) Flaccidity
2) Spasticity
3) Spasticity becomes more pronounced
4) Spasticity declines
5) Patient demonstrates isolated joint movements and more complex combinations
6) Spasticity no longer present (near normal movement & coordination)
What type of exercise did Brunnstrom encourage? Why?
flexor & extensor synergies, with the hopes that synergistic activation of muscle would, with training, transition into voluntary activation
Who developed the concept of Functional Integration & Awareness Through Movement?
Feldenkrais
Who is responsible for developing the concept of functional kinetics?
Klein-Vogelbach
Who developed the concept of PNF?
Kabat, Knott & Voss
What do PNF techniques rely on?
quick stretching and manual resistance of muscle activation of the limbs in functional direction, which are often spiral and diagonal
describe Rood’s approach to neuromuscular dysfunction
She utilized superficial cutaneous stimulation via stroking, brushing, tapping, icing or vibration to evoke a voluntary muscle activation
What are the early recovery goals following stroke?
- Resolution of cerebral edema
- Absorption of damaged tissue
- Improvement of local circulation
What are the late recovery goals following stroke?
- Regenerative collateral sprouting
- Unmasking of neural pathways
- Developing alternative pathways
- Changes in sensitivity of synaptic transmission
