Q

Behaviors indicating reaching sensory threshold

A

Hyper or hypo responsive
- becoming pale or nauseous
EX: child splays legs out towards the ground when OT pulls him on a scooter board & picks up speed, the child hugs a rope ladder tightly as he climbs & stops advancing 1 rung above the floor

Q

Sensory threshold

A

Certain level at which a child responds to sensory information
- can be hyperesponsive: take on a low sensory load to respond to their environment
Can be hyporesponsive: can take on a high sensory load before reacting

Q

Levels of the CNS

A

Top: cortical & subcortical (volition, conscious movement)

Bottom: primitive reflexes, automatic, responsive movement (building blocks of movement

Q

Rood approach

A
  • when tone is normal, regular movement occurs
  • need motivation to move
  • repetition is necessary
  • controlled sensory stimulation for responses

Q

Rood approach to fasciliating movement

A

Want to INCREASE tone, wake up muscles
- START WITH: providing proximal support to control distal issues (consider posture)
- brushing
- tapping on muscle belly
- vibration
- stroking
- icing
- heavy joint compression
- resistance
- vesibular stim (swinging to wake muscles up)
- upbeat music, bright lights, temperature, unpredictable movements

Q

Rood approach to inhibiting movement

A

HIGH TONE- want to decrease it, calm muscles down
- START WITH something calming (slow rocking in a linear way, therapy ball rocking, deep tissue muscle massage) before activity occurs
- deep pressure/prop
- prolonged 30 sec stretch
- slow stroking
- weight bearing to break up tone

Q

Brunnstrom approach

A

Post CVA- it is normal for muscles to be spastic or flaccid at first before returning to normal
- normal movement is due to synergistic muscles
- go from reflex movement to volitional movement (gain control)

Q

Stages of recovery Brunnstrom approach

A
  1. Flaccid paralysis
  2. Some spastic tone
  3. Flexor synergy
  4. Extensor synergy
  5. Spasticity
    6, voluntary synergy movements
  6. Synergy predominates, spasticity decreases
  7. No spasticity, can move out of synergies
  8. Almost normal (difficulty with rapid complex movement)
  9. Normal

16
Q

PNF approach

A

Manual facilitation of weak muscles
- all people have undeveloped potential
- normal movements are synergistic & functional, development occurs head to tail
- spiral & diagonal movements (crossing midline for each body part)

17
Q

NDT/Bobath approach

A

Normalize tone, inhibit reflexes via neuroplasticity, key points of control
- weight bearing, place & hold, joint compression, bilateral activities
- NO COMPENSATION
- very regulated sensory stim

18
Q

Key points of control- NDT

A

Proximal: shoulders, pelvis

Distal: hands & feet

19
Q

Synergy

A

Total flexion or extension movements of joint or limbs
