The most effective intervention for achieving or modifying movement is when it happens in this natural environment

Context

100

Muscle tone is characterized by a muscle's resistance to this type of stretch

Passive

100

A child kicks a ball repeatedly to the soccer net (there is a line of 10 soccer balls for him to kick). This is an example of this type of practice

Blocked or massed

100

Given the research history of pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy, what is the least dosage that has been determined to effect functional change?

3 hrs per day for 21 consecutive days

200

Practice of occupation is preferred over practice of this.

Component of movement or movement

200

The Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) is used with this populations

Clients with cerebral palsy

200

Blocked or mass practice is defined by this emotional term

Boring

200

Which reflex is stimulated when the baby's head is moved to the left and results in left-sided upper and lower extremity extension?

Asymmetrcical tonic neck reflex (ATNR)

300

The body's capacity to limit the degrees of freedom at a joint is termed this.

Fixing

300

This occupation-based assessment tool may be used to  understand the child's goals for motor improvement.

COPM, COSA, SCOPE, PEGS-2

300

Feedback that describes how the client achieved the outcome of motor performance is termed this.

Knowledge of results

300

This motor learning principle means that you and your client practice skills during intervention that are meaningful to them

Salience

400

Practice, or the repetition of activities, movements, or skills causes neurons to fire with the CNS specific to that movement pattern. Over time, these neurons increase their density, termed this.

Collateral sprouting

400

The average range for standard scores on the Total Motor Quoitient of the Peabody Development Motor Scales (PDMS-2) is this.

85-115

400

It is necessary to completely master earlier skills before working on the next motor step. True or False?

False

400

When thinking about frequency of practice through a motor learning lens, 2x/wk of 30 minutes of occupational therapy is enough practice to learn a motor skill or modification of skill. True or False?

False

500

An 8yo client is thinking about how to complete an obstacle course in therapy. He remembers how hard he needed to push his legs while on the rope ladder. This describes which motor control concept

Feedforward

500

The average range of standard scores for the Miller Function and Participatioan Scales subtests is 7-13. What is the qualifier (word) used to describe a score of 7 onto gross motor subtest?

Average

500

What is the metacognitive problem solving approach used within the Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance (CO-OP)?

Goal-Plan-Do-Check

500

In the Novak et al, 2013 article (sys rev for interventions in CP), the authors state that positive effects found in, say gross motor coordination after therapy focused on isolated coordination activities, did not translate to "upstream" improvements. True or False?

True!
