Interventions for AT
Interventions for abnormal tone
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Brunnstrom Approach | Emphasis is placed on facilitating the progress of the individual by promotion of movement from reflexive to volitional; Focuses on proximal to distal recovery patterns |
| Functional Tone Management | Focuses on a distal activation for recovery; Encourages early initiation of upper extremity movements that incorporate grasp and release |
| Neurodevelopmental Approach | Control of movement is based on a complex interaction of many body systems, on the tasks presented, and the environments in which tasks are performed; Function occurs through altering one or more of these elements; proximal to distal recovery patterns |
| Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Approach | Improve motor control through developmental sequencing of movement and the balanced interplay between agonist and antagonist in producing volitional movement. Focuses on a proximal to distal recovery pattern |
