NDT APPROACH

Question 1

manual treatment techniques and hand placements are used to increase muscle tone to produce more nearly normal movement responses in the hemiplegic patient

Answer 1

Facilitation

Question 2

a state of lacking tone, the limb feels limp and falls into place when not supported

Question 2

Handling

Answer 2

the manner in which the Bobath therapist uses her hands to stop the patient’s abnormal tone and movement and activate normal movement patterns

Question 2

Inhibition

Answer 2

manual treatment techniques and movement patterns are used to decrease spasticity and to stop abnormal movement patterns

Question 3

the normal adaptation of muscles to passive movement, which allows the body to follow
movement and maintain a

Answer 3

Placing response

Question 3

Key points of control

Answer 3

hand placements on the hemiplegic trunk and limbs that are used to change muscle tone
and influence the quality of movement

Question 4

positions that inhibit spasticity by passively elongating spastic muscles

Answer 4

Reflex inhibiting postures

Question 5

a treatment technique used to persevere or restore normal mobility in the
scapulothoracic joint, allowing the hemiplegic arm to be moved though its full arc or movement without shoulder pain and to inhibit flexor spasticity in the arm

Answer 5

Scapular mobilization

Question 6

a state of excess tone and hyperactive response to stretch

Answer 6

Spasticity

Question 7

specific techniques that use tactile and proprioceptive input to muscles and joints to
produce an active muscle response in flaccid limbs

Answer 7

Stimulation techniques

Question 8

is directed toward the goal of retraining normal, functional patterns of movement in the adult stroke patient

Answer 8

The Bobath approach

Question 9

Normal tone, posture and movement allow a person to function in everyday tasks. CNS feedback allows the person to refine motor movements

Answer 9

Functio

Question 10

Abnormal tone, inefficient posture and abnormal patterns of movement interfere with everyday functions

Answer 10

Dysfunction

Question 11

The therapist uses his/her hands on the patient’s body to change the quality of movement patterns

Answer 11

Handling

Question 12

is used to establish normal alignment, to reduce or eliminate abnormal tone and movement, to reeducate muscles in normal patterns in the trunk and limbs, and to produce an active movement pattern in the patient

Answer 12

Handling

Question 13

key points of control

Answer 13

shoulder, pelvis, spine,
ribcage, hand, and foot

Question 14

Manual techniques and hand placements used to eliminate spasticity

Answer 14

Inhibition

Question 15

passive positioning to lengthen spastic muscles

Answer 15

reflex inhibiting postures

Question 16

describe the active movement that inhibit abnormal tone and encourage or facilitate active movement

Answer 16

Reflex inhibiting movement patterns

Question 17

are those patterns of handling that help the patient move more normally

Answer 17

Facilitation

Question 18

These techniques are used with both spastic and flaccid hemiplegia

Answer 18

Facilitation
