Balance Treatment Flashcards
1
Q
Important Considerations
A
- static vs progressive
- acuity/chronicity
- single vs multi system involvement
- pos and neg prognostic indicators
- what can we change?
- what can’t be changed?
2
Q
Treatment Overview
A
- Impairment (ROM, Strength etc)
- Strategy (to mntn balance)
- Functional (person, task, envmt)
- Education
- Consultation
- Referrals
3
Q
closed chain best:
A
- functional
- that’s how we control balance
4
Q
Enhance Anticipatory Control
A
- move head
- rotate head/trunk
- raise arms
- reaching
- self-initiated perturbations/sway
- tap-ups, step-ups
- turn in place
- march in place
- functional tasks
5
Q
Enhance reactive control
A
- respond to perturbatinos
- balloon toss
- ball throw/catch
- kick ball
- tilt board
- walk with sudden stop/start, pivots
- functional/recreational activities
6
Q
Facilitate Ankle Response
A
- small, slow perturbations
- large support surface
- “static” standing on compliant surface
- aim for ankle to be axis of motion
7
Q
Elicit hip response
A
- larger, faster perturbations
- support surface smaller than BOS
- tandem stance
8
Q
Elicit Stepping Response
A
-larger & faster perturbations (out of BOS)
9
Q
Impacting Visual System
A
- eyes open/closed
- lighting
10
Q
Impact Somatosensory
A
- proprioceptive feedback
- shoes on/off
- firm/compliant surfaces
11
Q
Impact Vestibular System
A
-eye & head movements
12
Q
Stroop Task
A
-tell me what color these words are written in while walking
