NDD Treatment Flashcards
1
Q
Cueing in PD
A
- Auditory cues
- Visual cues
2
Q
Resistance in MS
A
Approximation:
Sensory stimulation that provide enhanced proprioceptive feedback
Co-contraction:
Simultaneous contraction of agonists and antagonists’ muscles of a joint that reduce excessive movement
More contraction > more proprioceptive connection > increase proprioception and strength
3
Q
Physical activity in MS and PD
A
Aerobic exercises: cycling, swimming, walking
Strength: Using free weights, weights machines, body weight, resistance bands, Pilates, …
Gymnastics/yoga & stretching
–> spasticity for MS
