cerebellum CVA |
| ataxia |
cerebellum CVA |
| decreased coordination |
cerebellum CVA |
| nausea |
cerebellum CVA |
| decreased ability for postural adjustment |
cerebellum CVA |
| nystagmus |
cerebellum CVA |
| Stage 1 |
no volitional movement initiated |
| Stage 2 |
appearance of basic limb synergies, beginning of spasticity |
| Stage 3 |
synergies are performed voluntarily |
| Stage 4 |
Spasticity begins to decrease, movement patterns not dictated solely by limb synergies |
| Stage 5 |
further decrease in spasticity noted, independence from limb synergy patterns |
| Stage 6 |
Isolated joint movements are performed with coordination |
| Stage 7 |
Normal motor function is restored |
| Mobility |
Ability to initiate movement through a functional range of motion |
| Stability |
ability to maintain a position or posture through cocontraction and tonic holding around a joint |
| Controlled mobility |
ability to move within a weight bearing position or rotate around a long axis |
| Skill |
Ability to consistently perform functional tasks and manipulate the environment with normal postural reflex mechanisms and balance reactions |
| Sensory facilitation techniques (8) |
approximation, joint compression, icing, light touch, quick stretch, resistance, tapping, traction |
| Sensory inhibition techniques(5) |
deep pressure, prolonged stretch, warmth, prolonged cold, carotid reflex |
| associated reactions |
an involuntary and automatic movement of a body part as a result of an intentional active or resistive movement in another body part |
| homolateral synkinesis |
a flexion pattern of the involved upper extremity facilitates flexion of the involved lower extremity |
| limb synergies |
group of muscles that produce a predictable pattern of movement in flexion or extension patterns |
| Raimiste's phenomenon |
involved lower extremity will abduct/adduct with applied resistance to uninvolved lower extremity in the same direction |
| Souque's phenomenon |
raising the involved upper extremity above 100 degrees with elbow extension will produce extension and abduction of the fingers |
