Question
Answer
Movement therapy in hemiplegia:   developed by Signe Brunnstrom, is based on the hierarchical model by Hughlings Jackson.  
🗑
Brunnstroms approach   created and defined the term synergy and initially encouraged the use of synergy patterns during rehabilitation.  
🗑
Brunnstroms belief   was to immediately practice synergy patterns and subsequently develop combinations of movement patterns outside of the synergy.  
🗑
Synergies   are considered primitive patterns that occur at the spinal cord level as a result of the hierarchical organization of the central nervous system.  
🗑
Reinforcing synergy patterns is rarely utilized now as   research has indicated that reinforced synergy patterns are very difficult to change.  
🗑
Brunnstrom developed .   the seven stages of recovery, which are used for evaluation and documentation of patient progress  
🗑
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:   A group of muscles that produce a predictable pattern of movement in flexion or extension patterns.  
🗑
Raimiste's phenomenon:   The involved lower extremity will abduct/adduct with applied resistance to the 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.  
🗑
Brunnstrom Evaluation of strength   focuses on patterns of movement rather than straight plane motion at a joint  
🗑
Brunnstrom Sensory examination   is required to assist with treating motor deficits  
🗑
Brunnstrom Initially limb synergies are   encouraged as a necessary milestone for recovery  
🗑
Brunnstrom Encourage overflow   to recruit active movement of the weak side  
🗑
Brunnstrom Use of repetition   of task and positive reinforcement  
🗑
Brunnstrom A patient will follow the stages of recovery,   but may experience a plateau at any point so that full recovery is not achieved  
🗑
Brunnstrom Movement combinations   that deviate from the basic limb synergies should be introduced in stage 4 of recovery  
🗑
Brunnstrom separates neurological recovery   into seven separate stages based on progression through abnormal tone and spasticity.  
🗑
Seven Stages of Recovery Stage 1:   No volitional movement initiated.  
🗑
Seven Stages of Recovery Stage 2:   The appearance of basic limb synergies. The beginning of spasticity.  
🗑
Seven Stages of Recovery Stage 3:   The synergies are performed voluntarily; spasticity increases.  
🗑
Seven Stages of Recovery Stage 4:   Spasticity begins to decrease. Movement patterns are not dictated solely by limb synergies.  
🗑
Seven Stages of Recovery Stage 5:   A further decrease in spasticity is noted with independence from limb synergy patterns.  
🗑
Seven Stages of Recovery Stage 6:   Isolated joint movements are performed with coordination.  
🗑
Seven Stages of Recovery Stage 7:   Normal motor function is restored.  
🗑
