VIVA Memorisation Flashcards
What does the COPM stand for?
Canadian Occupational Performance Measure
What does the COPM assess?
It assesses performance and satisfaction of occupations in leisure, self-care and productivity
What are key facts about the Melbourne Upper-Limb Assessment -2?
- For ages between 2.5-15 years
- Reliable and valid for children with neurological impairment
- It tests things like grasp, fluency of movement and accuracy of reach
- Tests arms unilaterally, but can be done for both arms
What does CFCS stand for? (Cerebral Palsy)
Communication Function Classification System
What level of the CFCS is Elijah at? What does this mean?
2
Effective for both sending and receiving information with people, however is just a bit slower. He may need extra time to understand and compose messages, but can accurately alternate between sender and receiver roles.
What does GMFCS stand for?
Gross Motor Function Classification System
What level of the GMFCS is Elijah at and what does this mean?
3
He can walk in most settings and climb stairs with support. He uses a mobility device indoors. Wheelchair for long distances outdoors. He has minimal ability to perform gross motor skills such as running and jumping.
What does MACS stand for?
Manual Ability Classification System
What level of the MACS is Elijah at and what does this mean?
2
He can handle most objects but with reduced quality and/or speed. His independence is not particularly restricted by these difficulties.
What does CO-OP stand for?
Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance
What are key things to remember about the CO-OP?
- Can be used for motor planning difficulties (sensory discrimination difficulties) but can be used for other difficulties.
- Orange light approach for CP (due to limited research)
- For children 4+
- Child needs to have fluent English/communication skills, grasp complex ideas and demonstrates motivation to work towards a goal.
- A top down approach (occupation focused)
What are the four features of the CO-OP that need to be done?
- Client centred goal setting
- Dynamic Performance Analysis
- Global and domain specific strategies
- Guided discovery
What does the DPA tree look at?
- Motivation
- Task knowledge
- Performance competence
What is the ideal positioning for the pelvis?
Pelvis at the back of the seat, neutral and providing a stable sitting base.
What is the ideal positioning for the trunk?
Upright position of the trunk with symmetry
What is the ideal positioning for legs?
Thighs horizontal and supported by the seat surface
What are the positives of using medium density foam?
It conforms and supports which works to reduce postural stress and hypertonicity
Where does a pelvis strap need to be positioned?
60-90 degrees below the anterior superior iliac spine
What does PEGS stand for?
Perceived Efficacy and Goal Setting
What are key things to remember about PEGS?
- For children aged between 5-9
- Self report perceived competence in daily occupations and to collaborate with the OT to construct
- Good level of reliability
What does the ChIPPA-2 stand for?
Child Initiated Pretend Play Assessment 2
What are key things to remember about the ChIPPA-2
- Suitable for children aged between 3-7
- Although this Ax looks at initiation of play, it also explores sequencing and pretend play
- It is valid and reliable
What are key things to remember about the social participation approach?
- Suitable for children of all ages and diagnoses

1. Teaching the child how to start regulating their emotions and 2. Teaching them play and social skills
For what ages are the zones of regulation appropriate for?
6-12
For what ages are the zones of regulation appropriate for?
6-12
What are the two methods to teach social skills in the social participation approach?
The behavioural method and the cognitive behavioural method
What does FBA stand for?
Functional behaviour analysis
How would you complete a FBA?
Take the ABC method
What are the stages in the ABC method?
Antecedent stage, behaviour stage and consequence stage
What is the time in approach?
It encourages care-givers to stay with the child when they are experiencing behaviours and help with regulation
What is the sensory based approach for?
- Children with sensory modulation difficulties
What is the motor learning approach for?
Learning specific skills required for optimal performance within an environment (bottom up approach)
