PT Practice theory
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Kaltenborn Grade I glide | loosening, small amplitude, pain relief or joint decompression |
Kaltenborn Grade II glide | tightening, takes up slack, used for pain relief to assess joint play, reduce muscle guarding |
Kaltenborn Grade III glide | stretching, used to assess end feel or increase movement |
Mennell approach to rehab | joint is the dysfunctional unit |
Osteopathic approach to rehab | somatic system responsible for dysfunction |
Cyriax approach to rehab | dysfunction due to interplay of contractile and noncontractile |
McKenzie approach to rehab | postural factors PPT discal dysfunction, emphasizes EXT exercises |
Maitland approach to rehab | subj & obj measures integrated to determine dysfunction |
Kaltenborn approach to rehab | abnormal joint mobility and soft tissue changes acct for dysfunction |
Chiropractic approach to rehab | restoration of biomechanics affects other systems as well |
NDT | enhancing motor skills, postural control, quality of mvmt through mvmt experiences, enhancing relationship between sensory and motor, guided and assisted mvmts leading to active mvmt |
Quick stretch, tapping of muscle belly | facilitates agonist, inhibits antagonist |
Prolonged slow stretch (manual, positioning, casts) | inhibits agonis, dampens tone |
Resistance | recruits motor units (alpha,gamma) to facilitate agonist |
Joint approximation | enhances joint awareness, facilitates co-contraction, postural extensors, stabilizers |
Joint traction | enhances joint awareness, action of flexors, relieves spasm (mobilization) |
Inhibitory pressure-firm pressure on long tendons | inhibits muscle, dampens tone – WB on extended open hand or kneeling for spastic quads |
Light quick touch | initiates phasic withdrawal rxns |
Maintained touch | calming effect, generalized inhibition |
Slow, maintained vestibular stim | Rocking, generalized inhibition of tone, relaxation, calm |
Fast, irregular vestibular stim | Spinning, rolling fast, generalized facilitation of tone, improved motor coordination |
Knowledge of results | feedback about outcomes |
Knowledge of performance | feedback about nature of movement produced |
Blocked practice | single motor skill repeatedly |
Variable practice | varied motor skills with rapid modification to match demands |
Random practice | practice of a group of motor skills in random order |
Serial practice | practice of a group of skills in predictable order |
Massed practice | relatively continuous practice with minimal rest time. Rest < practice |
Distributed practice | Rest > practice |
Mental practice | cognitive rehearsal |
Cognitive stage strategies | feedback after every trial, organize initial practice, avoid stressors, structure environment |
Associative stage strategies | continue to provide KP and KR, self evaluation, avoid excessive feedback, organize practice in variable order, progress to changing environment |
Autonomous stage strategies | provide only occasional feedback when errors, variation of env and tasks, massed practice |
