| Increased frustration | L hemisphere CVA |
| Decreased processing | L hemisphere CVA |
| Decreased discrimination between left and right | L hemisphere CVA |
| aphasia | L hemisphere CVA |
| dysphagia | L hemisphere CVA |
| motor apraxia | L hemisphere 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 |
