What is a method to promote forces use and increase cortical excitability for neural visual alignment and weight shift for gait plasticity?
Using tactile feedback from tables
For patients with hemiparesis or paraparesis, what is an effective method to enhance proprioceptive feedback?
Utilizing a swiss ball for sitting
In challenging patients through dual tasking, what is the primary aim?
Improving controlled mobility and skill
How can pushing extremities be detrimental to patients with hemiparesis?
It can worsen the condition
What method contributes to recognizing midline mobility and weight shift in pushers?
Utilizing rhythmic stabilization provided by PT
What is the purpose of weightbearing with an extended arm?
Activating muscles of the elbow, wrist, and hand
Why is the posterior to hips position considered the most difficult for weightbearing with an extended arm?
It demands increased structural stability of the GH joint
In weightbearing with a forearm forearm and hand supported on a surface, what is important for proper neutral alignment of the arm?
Neutral alignment for proper posture
What does weightbearing with an extended arm encourage in terms of movement?
Increased reliance on trunk stability
Why is weightbearing in the anterior to hips position beneficial?
Encourages thoracic extension and scapular stabilization
What is a key consideration when performing weightbearing in the extended arm position in patients with hypotonia?
Stabilizing the GH joint to avoid subluxation
What is the main goal of static sitting in the compensatory approach described in the text?
To maintain stability and remain seated.
Why is it important not to have the arms aligned with the buttocks during tripod/A frame prop sitting?
To prevent the individual from falling backward.
Which component of the upper extremity should be assessed for stability/mobility after checking alignment in static sitting?
Shoulder
What does the text suggest as a better object for functional significance in dynamic sitting as compared to a colored cone?
Water bottle
In weight shifting for patients with hemiparesis, what is the correct sequence of weight shifting as described in the text?
Weight shift away from the more involved side, then forward in the middle, then across the body towards the paretic side.
What is considered a lead-up skill before working on gross movements and fine motor tasks according to the text?
Alignment check for pelvis and feet.
Explore the use of various electrical stimulation devices like FES, NMES, BIONESS, and WALKAIDE in rehabilitation therapy. Learn how these devices help in improving muscle tone, controlling contractions, and enhancing fine motor skills.
