PT 601

during a PT session, you teach Nicholas to shift more weight onto his injured leg while standing. By the end of the session, he is bearing weight more evenly. This demonstrates that he…

has improved performance of the skill

Nicholas is learning to move from sit to stand with more weight on his injured leg. You ask him to say aloud “bring my leg back so both legs are equal, lean forward, stand up.” This is an example of…

explicit learning

Nicholas is practicing sit to stand from a standard chair. Sometimes he doesn’t get his feet back underneath him evenly, other times he doesn’t shift forward enough, other times he uses too much momentum. He is in what stage of motor learning?

associative

Telling a patient that you expect that he will do well navigating the stairs with crutches is an example of which condition for motor learning in the OPTIMAL framework

enhanced expectancy

You work on car transfers with Nicholas by having him move from a high chair to a low chain 10 times in a row. This is an example of what type of practice order?

blocked practice

which type of practice is more likely to result in quicker improvements in performance?

blocked practice

you are planning a PT intervention for Nicholas. You decide to work on 3 activities in this order :123-231-213. What type of practice order is this?

random practice

Nicolas is learning to walk without crutches. What type of practice would most likely result in optimal learning with this type of task?

lead up skills practice

Nicolas is working on sit to stand with equal weight. You don’t provide any verbal feedback, but he tells you hes favoring his stronger leg. How does he know?

intrinsic feedback

His first try walking, Nicolas walked 50 feet. His second try he walks 100 feet with improved WB on the injured leg. You say “nice job, you walked 100 feet this time.” this is an example of

knowledge of results

Nicolas no longer has to maintain TDWB and you’re teaching him how to walk with crutches WBAT. He’s in the associative stage of motor learning. Which intervention strategy would be the most appropriate for this stage?

use a faded feedback schedule

motor learning involves changes at the neural level. This does not include

growth of new neurons

knee flexion/extension occurs in what plane

sagittal

knee flexion/extension occurs on what axis

coronal/frontal

genus valgum

knees in (disney knees)
val-gum (pinching gum between knees)

genus varum

knees out

“veres my pig?” (open legs and its between there)
