Basic Terminology
Service delivery, pedagogy, coaching, training, or empowerment conducted by qualified professionals to enhance physical activity goal achievement of individuals of all ages with movement limitations or and/or societal restrictions (i.e. attitudinal and environmental barriers
Adapted Physical Activity
a severe impairment that adversely affects a child’s education performance. This term includes impairments caused by congenital anomaly (e.g. club foot, absence of some member, etc.), impairments caused by disease (e.g. poliomyelitis, bone tuberculosis, etc.), and impairments from other causes (e.g. cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or burns that cause contractures)
Orthopedic Impairment
A chronic disorder of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism that occurs when glucose is not assimilated into the body cells and thus remains higher than normal between meals and in a fasting state
Diabetes
a curvature of the spine is
Scoliosis
This allergy is associated with Spina Bifida
Latex allergy
Term used to describe SERVICES delivered to school-aged individuals from birth through age 21. Adapted physical education is a delivery system, not a placement (or class).
Adapted Physical Education
having limited strength, vitality, or alertness, including a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli, that results in limited alertness with respect to the educational environment, that—
(i) Is due to chronic or acute health problems such as asthma, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diabetes, epilepsy, a heart condition, hemophilia, lead poisoning, leukemia, nephritis, rheumatic fever, sickle cell anemia, and Tourette syndrome; and
(ii) Adversely affects a child’s educational performance
Other Health Impairment
A chronic lung disease characterized by airway obstruction, airway inflammation, and airway hyperreactivity
Asthma
Increased cerebrospinal fluid in the brain
Hydrocephalus
These are programming implications for what types of disabilities?
Avoid activities that cause fatigue or pain (goal is to maintain function/avoid overload principle
Increase rest periods during activity (people with muscle weakness use more energy when exercising than peers)
Use interval training rather than aerobic activities
Muscular Weakness Conditions
How many days do you have to respond to a referral for Adapted PE?
15
The most common type of Dwarfism is:
Achondroplasia
A congenital defect of the spinal column caused by failure of the neural arch of a vertebrae to properly develop and enclose the spinal cord.
Spina Bifida
Hydrocephalus is surgically treated by placing a:
VP shunt
In general, avoid this principle when working with individuals with Muscular Dystrophy
Overload Principle
How many days do you have to assess a student and hold an IEP meeting after the assessment plan has been signed and received?
60
This is the term for low muscle tone
hypotonia
A group of genetically determined conditions in which progressive muscular weakness is attributed to changes that occur in the muscle fibers
Muscular Dystrophies
AFO stands for
Ankle Foot Orthotic
School personnel and the Adapted PE/PE teacher must be trained by this professional in order to place a student in a stander/gait trainer
Physical Therapist
True or False: a student must first be eligible for special education before they can be eligible for Adapted PE?
True
This is the term for increased muscle tone
Spasticity or Hypertonia
A “non-progressive congenital contracture syndrome usually characterized by internal rotation at the shoulder joints, elbow extension, pronated forearms, radial flexion of wrists, flexion and outward rotation at the hip joint, and abnormal positions of the knees and feet”
Arthrogryposis
HKAFO stands for:
Hip, Knee, Ankle, Foot Orthotic
These are contraindicated activities for what diagnosis/condition?
All jumping activities including jump rope and trampoline work
Activities in which falls may be frequent (roller skating, gymnastics
Contact sports (football, soccer, volleyball)
Hopping, leaping, and jumping
Diving
Horseback riding
Sitting for long periods
Juvenile Ideopatheic Arthritis
What does TBI stand for?
Traumatic Brain Injury
The most common form of Muscular Dystrophy is:
A condition in which there is a defect in collagen fibers found in connective tissue which causes bone and cartilage to be soft and brittle while causing skin and ligaments to be overly elastic and hyperextensible
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Medication is a common treatment.
Grand mal is most common form of seizure in children.
Be aware of the child’s triggers.
Exercise can be helpful.
Seizure Disorders
The following are programming implications for what diagnosis?
Limitations in ball handling, racket sports, and track
In power lifting and tumbling average trunk size and short limbs are advantageous
For people with spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord) swimming, bicycling, and other sports that put no pressure on the spine are recommended
Dwarfism
If a student receives only Adapted PE services or APE is their primary service, they are more likely eligible under what two IDEA eligibility categories?
Orthopedic Impairment (OI) or Other Health Impairment (OHI)
When a person has a spinal cord injury this determines the severity of their paralysis
The location of the injury
Quadriplegia and paraplegia acquired through some kind of trauma
Spinal Cord Injury
Characterized by flaccid muscle tone
present at birth or occur shortly after
Caused by progressive degeneration of the spinal cord’s motor neuron
Vary in severity with some arresting themselves And others are fatal within 2 or 3 years of onset
Severe cases are demonstrated by loss of muscle strength, tightening of muscles, contracture and nonuse
Spinal Muscle Atrophy
These are issues related to:
Skin breakdown on stump
Muscle atrophy, contractures, and posture problems
Assistive Walking Device with many supports including a chest prompt, arm prompts, seat, etc
Gait Trainer
The type of cerebral palsy that a person has is indicated by
how many limbs are affected and the type of motor disorder (ie: hypotonic diplegia, spastic hemiplegia etc)
A genetic disorder of the secretion ability of membranes that line body organs, tubes, and passages. All organs are affected, most importantly the lungs, pancreas, intestinal mucous glands, and sweat glands
Cystic Fibrosis
an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system with variable symptoms and highly unpredictable periods of acute illness (often called an attack or bout)”
Multiple Sclerosis
