18 Questions
What is the primary goal of the pedaling (cycling) movement exercise described in the text?
To decrease muscle tone in the quadriceps and contract the flexors
What is the primary goal of the abduction-adduction training in side lying described in the text?
To practice active control of leg movement
Why does the physiotherapist guide the patient's foot with their hand during the pedaling (cycling) movement exercise?
To ensure the patient maintains contact with the ground during the backward sliding motion
In the dorsiflexion training by increasing sitting height, what is the purpose of having the patient lean against the wall?
To facilitate the transfer of the exercise to a standing position
What is the rationale behind starting the knee flexion and extension training in the semi-prone position?
To reduce the effect of gravity on the knee joint
What is the primary goal of the rhythmic arm swing training with trunk rotation exercise?
To increase trunk and arm mobility during standing and walking
Which of the following is a key benefit of the rhythmic arm swing training with trunk rotation exercise for hemiplegic patients?
It can help restore normal arm swing during walking
What is the purpose of decreasing the trunk flexion during the knee flexion and extension training in the semi-prone position?
To gradually increase the demand on the knee muscles
What is the primary reason that hemiplegic patients often walk without trunk rotation?
They have severe spasticity that limits their trunk and arm movement
Which of the following is a key principle of the Brunnstrom approach as described in the text?
Progressing from simple to more complex movement patterns
What is the primary benefit of the rhythmic arm swing training with trunk rotation exercise for hemiplegic patients, even if normal arm swing cannot be achieved?
It will be beneficial in terms of walking freely and balance
Which of the following is a common challenge that the Brunnstrom approach aims to address in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological conditions?
Regaining voluntary control of movement
Which of the following is NOT a goal of lower extremity training in the Brunnstrom approach?
Strengthening the upper extremities
During Phase I of the Brunnstrom approach, which of the following motions is performed to train the extensor synergy?
Hip extension, abduction, and internal rotation
Which of the following reflexes is used during lower extremity training in the Brunnstrom approach?
Reciprocal inhibition
In Phase I of the Brunnstrom approach, how is the perception of foot base pressure and hip flexor training achieved?
By having the patient raise and place their foot on the bed from a hanging position
Which of the following is a key focus of lower extremity training in the Brunnstrom approach?
Practicing specific combinations of motion required for normal ambulation
What is the primary goal of Phase II in the Brunnstrom approach to lower extremity rehabilitation?
To improve balance and coordination
This quiz focuses on Lower Extremity Rehabilitation using the Brunnstrom Approach, aiming to achieve a safe standing and walking pattern close to normal. It covers progressing from gross extremity synergies to varied motion combinations for normal ambulation.
