Cognitive Decline and Assistive Technology Quiz

The phase following amputation where the limb is prepared for a prosthesis. Involves addressing issues like pain, swelling, and skin complications.

A device used to replace a missing limb, helping with mobility and function.

A feeling of pain or sensations in the limb that is no longer there. Common after amputation.

The area of the body where the amputation occurred. Often referred to as the 'residual limb'.

The device attached to the end of a prosthesis that allows interaction with the environment. Examples include hooks or prosthetic hands.

A type of TD that uses the wearer's shoulder and scapula movements to control the TD. Example: hook or prosthetic hand.

A type of TD that uses muscle contractions to open and close the TD. This is detected by electrodes placed on the skin.

The phase after a prosthesis is fitted. Focuses on getting used to the prosthesis, preventing complications from ill-fitting, and improving functional skills.

A group of individuals with the same occupation, categorized by specific criteria including education, cognitive demands, physical requirements, and environmental conditions.

Unconsciously exaggerating symptoms due to a belief that the situation is worse than reality.

Intentionally faking or exaggerating illness to gain benefits, such as avoiding work or seeking attention.

The process of identifying and reducing risks to prevent injuries before they occur.

The process of early identification of symptoms to reduce the duration, severity, and cost of an injury.

The process of treating an injury and restoring a worker's role after an injury has occurred.

A rating system used to define the physical demands of different jobs, with levels ranging from "sedentary" to "heavy."

A data source that provides information about the physical and mental requirements of different jobs, used for workplace injury prevention and rehabilitation.

A type of wheelchair that allows the user to recline back to nearly horizontal, ideal for users with limited hip ROM or those who need to rest frequently.

A type of wheelchair designed to reduce pressure and prevent skin breakdown, particularly beneficial for users with scoliosis, kyphosis, or pelvic obliquity.

A wheelchair that supports the user's position with minimal assistance, preventing skin breakdown and providing stability and support.

A switch that responds to minimal force, allowing independent access to devices like TVs.

A type of assistive technology that helps individuals with communication challenges to express themselves.

The first stage of cognitive decline, where there are no noticeable impairments in executive functioning or cognitive abilities.

The second stage of cognitive decline, marked by reports of memory problems that are usually minor and have little impact on daily life.

The third stage of cognitive decline, where individuals experience noticeable impairments in concentration, difficulty performing tasks at work, and may deny or feel anxious about their cognitive deficits.

The sixth stage of cognitive decline, characterized by a complete lack of awareness of surroundings and activities, requiring assistance with all activities of daily living (ADLs) like eating, dressing, and toileting.

A mnemonic used to remember the 12 cranial nerves, representing their names and order.

A condition involving thickening of the fascia in the hand, leading to flexion deformities in affected fingers. Symptoms include limited range of motion and difficulty with hand functions.

Inflammation of the tendons that control thumb movement, causing pain and tenderness on the thumb side of the wrist. Often triggered by repetitive movements.

A condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position, often due to inflammation of the flexor tendon. It may involve a snapping or clicking sensation upon extending the finger.

A neurological disorder affecting the peripheral nerves, resulting in muscle weakness, atrophy, and sensory loss. It can affect the hands, causing difficulty with fine motor skills and coordination.

A way to assess hand range of motion using a specialized tool. It measures the angles of joint movements.

A test designed to evaluate hand dexterity and coordination, assessing tasks common in daily living, such as writing, picking up objects, and eating.

A standardized test for assessing fine motor coordination and dexterity, involving tasks using tweezers and a screwdriver.

A test that assesses fine motor coordination, speed, and dexterity using tasks that involve placing pegs into holes.

A quick evaluation tool used to assess functional limitations and improvements after hand therapy.

A type of movement where the end point of the moving body part stays fixed during the movement.

A primitive reflex (32 weeks gestation to 2 months) that helps with hip movement and range of motion for crawling and walking. To test, place the infant prone, stroke their spine on one side from top to bottom, and they should laterally flex towards that side.

A primitive reflex (32 weeks gestation to 4-6 months) involving finger flexion when an object is placed on the palm. Lack of integration can lead to reduced fine motor skills, difficulty releasing objects, and manipulating objects.

A primitive reflex (37 weeks gestation to 4 - 6 months) involving extension of the arm on the face side and flexion of the arm on the opposite side when the baby's head is turned laterally while lying supine. If retained, it can affect reading skills, midline crossing (crossing the body's center), visual tracking, hand-eye coordination, and bimanual coordination.

A primitive reflex (37 weeks gestation to 6 months) that affects body tone. In supine, the body assumes an extensor tone, making it difficult to flex the neck and sit up. In prone, the body is in flexor tone. Retention can lead to poor posture, motor coordination, and difficulties extending the head in prone and lifting the head from supine.

A group of righting reactions that develop between 3 and 6 months, helping the baby maintain head alignment in space. These reactions are essential for head control, rolling, crawling, and standing.

A righting reaction within the 3-6 month timeframe that helps the baby bring their body in alignment with their head by turning their entire body towards their head when they are turned in supine. It is a precursor to rolling.

A righting reaction within the 3-6 month timeframe that helps the baby align their head and body when they are turned to one side. It involves segmental rolling of the body to keep the head aligned.

A primitive reflex (4-12 months) that is a precursor to crawling. In neck flexion, the hips and legs extend, resisting movement to sit up. Testing includes holding the baby in a sitting position and observing the hip and leg extension.
