"ILITY"
THIS OCCURS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SYNERGISTIC CONTROL. HOLD STEADY, BUT NOT SO HARD YOU PEE YOUR PANTS, MOLLY.
STABILITY
WEEBLES WOBBLE BUT THEY DON'T FALL DOWN BECAUSE THEY HAVE MASTERED THIS EQUILIBRIUM REACTION OF TILTING FORWARD WHEN ROCKED BACK.
TILTING REACTIONS
ATNR
ASYMMETRICAL TONIC NECK REFLEX
SPASTICITY OCCURS DUE TO LESIONS IN THIS TRACT
CORTICOSPINAL
KNOTT AND KABAT ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED PNF TO TREAT THIS
PARALYSIS
THE ABILITY TO STABILIZE LIKE AN ASTRONAUT IN POSITIONS WITH SIMULTANEOUS FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY. ANTI-GRAVITY BEING THE KEY WORD.
PROXIMAL STABILITY
THIS POSTURAL RESPONSE RE-ESTABLISHES BALANCE AND KEEPS THE COM OVER THE BOS.
EQUILIBRIUM
PNF
PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION
THIS IS A LOSS IN 'BALANCE' BETWEEN THE INHIBITORY AND EXCITATORY INPUTS INTO MOTOR NEURONS AND CAN CAUSE PASSIVE POSTURING WHEN IN COMBO WITH SPASTICITY
SPASTIC HYPERTONIA
SWING YOUR PARTNER ROUND AND ROUND! THE BASIS OF THE PNF APPROACH IS THAT THE BODY'S MOVEMENTS ARE PREDOMINATELY THIS IN NATURE
ROTATIONAL
YOU CAN'T USE THIS WITHOUT THE FUNCTIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF BOTH MOBILITY AND STABILITY.
CONTROLLED MOBILITY
THESE MOVEMENT RESPONSES THAT SERVE A PURPOSE, ESPECIALLY FOR INFANTS, CAN COME BACK IN NEURO PATIENTS
PRIMITIVE REFLEXES
STNR
SYMMETRICAL TONIC NECK REFLEX
USE OF THESE TYPES OF SPLINTS CAN WORK TOWARDS CHRONIC STRETCH WITHOUT PROMOTING IMMOBILIZATION
DYNAMIC SPLINTS
THIS IS NOT ONLY EVERYTHING, IT'S THE SEQUENCE OF A MUSCLE CONTRACTION IN ANY MOTOR ACTIVITY RESULTING IN COORDINATED MOVEMENT
TIMING
POSTURAL CONTROL IS DEFINED AS BEING ABLE TO ALIGN BODY PARTS AND ORIENT IN SPACE, ANOTHER WORD FOR SKILL KNOWN AS THIS.
ABILITY
DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY
TLR
TONIC LABYRINTHINE REFLEX
YOU'RE PULLING A HAIL MARY FOR SPASTICITY WITH THIS METHOD OF ADMINISTERING MEDICATION; A POUCH INSERTED INTO THE ABDOMEN ATTACHED TO A CATHETER THAT TUNNELS INTO THE SUBARACHNOID SPACE
BACLOFEN PUMP
YOU DO?, YOU DON'T?, YOU DO? PNF METHODS ARE ALWAYS WORKING TOWARDS THIS OR THIS IN RESPONSE TO STIMULATION OF PROPRIOCEPTORS
FACILITATION OR INHIBITION
A KEY ELEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT IS ISOLATION OF MOTIONS AND THIS; CHANGE THINGS UP, WILL YA
VARIABILITY
FAST PRIMITIVE REFLEXES ARE KNOWN AS PHASIC, WHILE SLOWER ONES ARE KNOWN AS THIS; I GET SLOW WITH GIN TOO
TONIC
BTX-A
BOTULINUM TOXIN
ON THE ASHWORTH SCALE, THESE TWO RATINGS INVOLVE A CLASP KNIFE PHENOMENON WHEN THERE IS AN INCREASE IN MUSCLE TONE AND A 'CATCH' DURING PASSIVE RANGE OF MOTION
1 (END ROM), 1+ (HALF OR LESS ROM)
QUICK REVERSE, REVERSE! THE PATIENT SHOULD ATTEMPT MOTION AT THE SAME TIME THIS IS INITIATED
STRETCH REFLEX
