motor control Flashcards
(49 cards)
motor control eval
include observation of quality of movement through functional task
intention tremor
worsening of action tremor as limb approahces target in space
dysmetria
undershooting (hypotremia), or overshotting (hypertremia) of target
dyssynergia
breakdown in movement, joints moved seperately to reach target
dysdiadochokinesia
impairment wiht rapid. alternating movements
ataxia
loss of motor control incluidng tremors, dysdiadochokinesia, dyssynergia, visual nystagmus
resting tremor
involuntary tremor in resting posture
bradykinesia
slowed movement pattern
akinesia
inability to iniatie movement
athetosis
dyskinetic conditiong including inadeuquate force, and accuracy of movement in trunk/limbs-writhing and worm like movement
dystonia
involuntary sustained disorted movement or posture involving contraction of groups of muscles
chorea
involuntary movement of face and extremities, spasmadoci adn short duration
hemiballismus
unilateral chorea, forcefull movements of proximal muslces
subluxation
allow arm to dangle wiht gravity
palpate space under acromion process with index finger
compare intact side and document width of space in terms of finger breadths
tone normalizing splints
bobath finger spreader
rood cone
orthokinetic splints
spasticity reduction splint
support splints
overhead suspension sling
balanced forearm orthoses
shoulder sling
supports on w/c
bobath finger spreader
thumb and fingers in abd
rood cone
sustained deep pressure to reduce spasticity in hand
orthokinetic splints
uses tactile input to facilitate and inhibit muscle groups
spasticity reduction splint
places spastic distal extremity on submaximal stretch to decrease spasticity
overhead suspension sling
arm supported by sling with overhead rod
balanced forearm orthoses
arm trough, proximal and distal arms, support bracket allowed pt with weak proximal musculature to use available control of trunk and shoulder
shoulder sling
support flaccid arm, soft tissue contracture, edema and pain
ORal motor dysfunction eval
ROm strengt and sensation of oral structure
teeth
oral control of bolus
swallow reflex
airway protection swallow
primitiatve reflexes (rooting, jaw jerk, bite and ATNR/STNR)
-cranial nerve testing
