One of the challenges to assessing the impact of physical therapy interventions for people with cerebellar dysfunction include:
vascular and degenerative pathologies present differently with vascular pathologies typically showing greater improvement
All of the following were included in the intervention utilized in Nardone et al:
flexibility
static balance
dynamic control
gait training
The dosage for cerebellar dysfunction in Nardone was
one 90 min session per day, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks
T/F Gait improved to a greater extent in patients with vascular disease compared to patients with degenerative cerebellar disease.
True
T/F Multiple sclerosis is a disorder of the peripheral nervous system
False
The findings of Wetzel et al suggest that all of the following are highly associated with and explain a large portion of the variance in performance on the 6MWT in persons with MS
balance confidence
lower extremity power
static standing balance
T/F According to the findings of Wetzel et al, better respiratory muscle function was associated with greater walking distance.
True
Individuals with MS who scored <65 on the ABC or required more than 8 seconds to complete the FST, did not achieve ________ on the 6MWT.
350m
T/F Most people who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease are referred to physical therapy immediately to develop a preventative plan of care.
False
T/F Animal studies have demonstrative neuroprotective effects of exercise in Parkinson’s Disease
True
T/F Studies involving rats have demonstrated larger improvements in motor skills after repetitive aerobic training compared to task-specific agility training.
False
