Study Notes

Motor Learning and Control

Ability to remember response-produced augmented feedback involves retention-recall of a motor task after a period of no practice
Resistance to contextual change refers to the ability to perform a motor task in different environments

Anatomy and Physiology

Tightness of latissimus dorsi, capsular, quadratus lumborum, or pectoralis minor can limit full shoulder flexion while in posterior pelvic tilt position

Neurological Rehabilitation

Finger to nose test is used to assess dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, response orientation, and dyssynergia
Moderate impairment in dysmetria is characterized by hesitancy and inability to control movement

Research and Statistics

Stratified random sampling involves dividing the population by sex and selecting a random sample from each group

Vascular System

Homan's sign is used to test for peripheral arterial involvement in patients with calf musculature pain

Pediatrics

Daily training activities for a 22-month-old child with Down syndrome include locomotor training, holding and weight shifting in sitting and standing, and rolling activities

Gait Training

To promote continued motor learning, it is best to have the patient practice walking in different environments

Burn Care

The Rule of Nines assigns a percentage of burn to an adult's anterior leg as 10%

Seating and Mobility

Inadequate seat width in a wheelchair can cause excessive pressure under the ischial tuberosities

Cardiovascular System

Bluish discoloration of the skin and nail beds indicates hypoxemia

Developmental Motor Control

Trunk control develops prior to distal extremity control, and gross motor control develops prior to fine motor control
Isotonic control develops before isometric control, and eccentric movement develops prior to concentric movement

Posture and Movement Analysis

Good posture is characterized by a chest that is slightly up and forward

Exercise and Conditioning

The Six-Minute Walk Test is used to quantify endurance, and distance walked is the most appropriate variable to measure

Accessibility and Environmental Adaptation

The maximum recommended grade for a ramp is 6.5 percent, and for every inch of threshold height, there should be a corresponding 12 inches of ramp length
