Term
A change in tone occurs if the patient's movement is under:
Definition
Reflex control
Term
This reflex is activated by turning the head to one side. As a result to arm and leg of the same side will extend, while the opposite limbs bend (flexor tone). This reflex is inhibited by 6 mos/
Definition
Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex
Term
Prone position results in increased flexor tone in arms and legs.
Supine position results in increased extensor tone in arms and legs.
Definition
Tonic labyrinthine
Term
Emerges around 6 months integrates around 12 months. Flexion of the head results in flexion of arms and extension of legs. Extension of the head results in extension of arms and flexion of legs.
Definition
Symmetrical tonic neck reflex
Term
Palmar and Plantar Grasp Reflex:
Integration:
Definition
Light touch on palm causes flexion of fingers or toes
Seldom seen after 4 or 5 months
Term
Firm stroke along lateral border of the sole from heel to toe results in flexion or extension of the big toe and fanning of other toes.
Definition
Babinski
Term
Sudden movemnt of the head on the shoulders results with wide abduction of the arms and opening of the hands. Within moments, arms come together. Back muscles tense, legs flex, baby cries.
Definition
Moro Reflex
Term
Asymmetry during the Moro Reflex and/or failure of the arms to move freely or the hands to open fully indicates ____ or ___
Definition
Central or Peripheral system lesion or Hypotonia
Term
ATNR is most evident between ___ and ___ months
Definition
2 and 3 months
Term
Development of head rights and the ability to control the head position irrespective of gravity assists in motor development. Two examples of these reflexes are:
Definition
Labyrinthine head righting and Landau Reflex
Term
Body Scheme is considered to be the foundation for future skills in the perception of environmental space. Damage to which lobe likely leads to body scheme disorders?
Name 4 Body scheme disorders:
Definition
Parietal lobe damage
1. Somatognosia
2. Unilateral neglect
3. Right/Left discrimination
4. Finger agnosia
Term
_____ is the inability to integrate perceptions from the left side of the body or left side of the environment. May present with or without visual and sensory impairments.
Definition
Unilateral neglect
Term

How is an evaluation of neglect performed? What other deficits must be ruled out as causes of poor performance? (2)

Definition

Table top tasks: Drawing and copying tasks, cancellation tasks, line bisection, Observation performing functional tasks. Constructional apraxia or visual field deficit

Term

Abbreviated scanning pattern, scanning pattern organized, rescanning is observed, time and effort are appropriate for the task.

Definition

Visual field deficit

Term

Interventions for unilateral neglect:

Definition

Remedial: attention training (scanning, patching) and adaptive/compensatory (anchoring, cuing, prisms)

Term
How can one distinguish between sensory neglect and motor neglect?
Definition
Contrast a task that requires a hand response with one that has minimal motor response
Term
____ is the inability to carry out purposeful movement in the presence of intact sensation, movement and coordination.
The 3 types are:
Definition
Apraxia
1. Constructional
2. Limb
3. Dressing
Term
Patient is asked to pantomime an activity or carry out a series of steps their performance is not correctly or smoothly executed
Definition
Apraxia
Term
Testing for this type of apraxia traditionally consists of gesture production:
Definition
Limb apraxia
Term
Which type of gestures are most difficult for an individual with limb apraxia?
Definition
Distal transitive (putting on makeup)
Term
Apraxia often occurs with _______.
During evaluation how should questions be presented in order to distinguish between the two disorders?
Definition
Aphasia
Questions should be answered by a Yes/No response and by pointing to the correct answer.
Term
Constructional apraxia is a specific deficit in _____ _____ performance.
Definition
Spatial Organizational
Term
Functionally, constructional apraxia presents as a difficulty with any mechanical activity________, such as: (2)
Definition
in which parts are to be combined into a whole. Making a sandwich, setting a table
Term
With Right brain damage constructional apraxia is the result of
Definition
Visuospatial deficits
Term
Dressing apraxia is usually due to
Definition
RBD and visuospatial deficit
Term
Sample Interventions for Apraxia:
Definition
Keep verbal commands to minimum, Perform in natural environment, Chaining, Sensorimotor feedback, Gross motor v. Fine

Instructions: verbal, written, visual

Assistance: Verbally direct attention, Gesture, Explain picture sequence, Sensorimotor stim (guiding, positioning)

Feedback: Verbal- Encourage pt to consciously evaluate performance. Visual: place mirror in front of pt or videotape. Physical: support limbs, body positioning, handing the object to the patient
Term
What are the criteria for sensory processing disorders (3)
Definition

Sequencing of motor tasks,

Initiation of activities

Ocular pursuits

Term
A Client with a lower brain stem injury will likely demonstrate which reflex?
Definition
Tonic Labyrinthine
Term

Name the reflex

Stimulus: change in head position (forward or backward)

Response: change in muscle tone (flexion or extension)

Definition
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex
Term
Describe the typical UE flexor synergy pattern:
Definition

1. Scapular ADDuction and Elevation

2. Shoulder ABDuction and EXternal rotation

3. Elbow Flexion and Forearm Supination

Term
[image]
Definition
RD is able to hold his head in midline and rotate it to both sides. Shoulders are elevated, L>R. His arms are bilateral externally rotated, abducted, and elbows flexed. Bilaterally, the wrists are flexed; fingers are in neutral, with the thumb flexed. The hips are internally rotated. He displays genu valgum, and bilaterally, the feet are in an equinovarus positioning.
Term
Genu Valgum =
Definition

Knock knee

[image]

Term
Genu Varum =
Definition

Bow legged

[image]

Term
True or False: Generalization is a treatment technique
Definition
False: Generalization is a desired outcome of intervention
Term
Name the Neuro FOR: Abnormal movement patterns are caused by repeated practice of compensatory movement strategies that become overlearned

Carr and Shepherd's Motor Learn Program
Term
Name the Neurological FOR: Personal and environmental systems, including the CNS, are heterarchically organized
