PTA 231 Test 3 Study Guide: Key Concepts and Functional Skills in Physical Therapy

trunk

what is another term used interchangeably with core?

abnormal reflex activity

what may interfere with assumption or maintenance of the hooklying position?

symmetrical tonic labrinthine reflex (STLR)

identify the reflex: prone position increases flexion; supine position increases extension

asymmetrical tonic neck reflex (ATNR)

identify the reflex: rotation of the neck to one side results in extension of the UE on the side the head is rotated toward and flexion of the opposite UE

symmetrical tonic neck reflex (STNR)

identify the reflex: head/neck flexion produces flexion of the UE and extension of the LE; extension of the head/neck causes extension of the UE and flexion of the LE

hip flexion, knee flexion, ankle PF

what 3 positions are required to assume the position of hooklying?

traction and approximation

stabilizing reversals are used to promote stability in hooklying and can be combined with what 2 things?

stability in hooklying

- lower trunk instability

- instability to stabilize the hips (Trendelenberg, ABD weakness)

- inability to stabilize the knees in flexion with feet supported

improved dynamic postural control

what functional skill is achieved with stability in hooklying?

initiation of movement (mobility) and relaxation

with rhythmic initiation in hooklying, what is the motor control goals?

rhythmic initiation in hooklying

- poor or absent stability owing to spasticity or rigidity

- pain

- inability to initiation or control LTR

proximal stability of the trunk with controlled mobility of the LE for LTR

what are the functional skills achieved for rhythmic initiation in hooklying?

holding their breath

what is common with patients during bridging and isometric activities?

cardiac disability and/or hypertension

breathing should be closely monitored especially for patients with what 2 things?

elevating the hips higher than the head

what might be a contraindication for patients with uncontrolled hypertension or elevated intracranial pressures?

controlled mobility

what is the motor control goal for dynamic reversals in hooklying?

control of the lower trunk and perform LTR

what is the functional skill achieved for dynamic reversal in hooklying?

controlled mobility

what is the motor control goal for the transition from hooklying to bridging?

what 2 functional skills are achieved in the transition from hooklying to bridging?

ability to transition from each and improved strength, control of hip extensors, abductors

- poor lower trunk and pelvis stability

- weakness of lower trunk, hip, ankle muscles

2 indications for stability in bridging?

stability of the lower trunk and pelvis

what is the motor control goal for stability in bridging?

toward

moving the pevlis __ the more affected side stretches and elongates the trunk muscles on that side.

controlled mobility and static-dynamic control in bridging

what is the motor control goal for scooting?

ability to stabilize the hip/pelvis/ankle during antigravity activities

what functional skills are achieved for scooting?

bridging

advanced __ activities may not be appropriate within the context of a progression of bed mobility activities.

upright standing, gait, stair climbing

bridging may have an important implication for activities for what?

indications for sidelying stability

- weakness of the deep stabilizer muscles of the trunk

- inability to stabilize the trunk

stability (static control)

what is the motor control goal for sidelying stability?

inidications for reciprocal trunk pattern

- ppl unable to perform smoth, coordinated motions

- stroke patients

- Parkinson's patients

rolling

what is an early functional activity achieved in the sequence of developmental skills?

timing of emphasis

for combination of patterns, movement may be facilitated with what?
