A

cognitive resources
MSK
muscle synergies
sensory systems
sensory organization
cognitive strategies

25
to assess balance, you examine static/dynamic balance in ____
static & dynamic sitting statie and dynamic standing
26
control of balance may be impaired when: - reacting to a destabilizing external force which is called ____ - during self initiated movements which is called ______
reactive postural control anticipatory postural control
27
patients with hemiplegia typically fall in sitting in which direction?
direction of weakness
28
what is ipsilateral pushing (pusher syndrome)?
pushing with stronger extremities toward hemiparetic side with a lateral postural imbalance --> tendency to fall toward hemiparetic side
29
what are some examples of postural stability goals for a stroke pt?
hold static siting position w/ increased indepedence timed goals orientation decreased care giver dependence improved awareness of posture or limb
