| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sensory awareness | receiving and differentiating sensory stimuli |
| Sensory processing | interpreting sensory stimuli |
| Tactile | interpreting light touch, pressure, temperature, pain, and vibration through skin contact receptors. |
| Procioceptive | interpreting stimuli originating in muscles, joints, and other internal tissue that give information about one of the body parts in relationship to another. |
| Vestibular | interpreting stimuli from the inner ear receptors regarding head position and movement. |
| Visual | Interpreting stimuli through the eyes, including peripheral vision and acuity, and awareness of color and pattern. |
| Auditory | interpreting and localizing sounds, and discriminating background sound. |
| Gustatory | interpreting taste |
| Olfactory | interpreting smell |
| Perceptual processing | organizing sensory input into meaningful patterns. |
| Stereognosis | identifying objects through proprioception, cognition, and the sense of touch |
| Kinesthesia | identifying the excursion and direction of joint movement. |
| Pain response | interpreting noxious stimuli |
| Body scheme | acquiring an internal awareness of the body and the relationship of the body parts to each other. |
| Right-left discrimination | differentiating one side from the other. |
| Form constancy | recognizing forms and objects as the same in various environments, positions and sizes. |
| Position in space | determining the spatial relationship of the figures and objects to self of other forms and objects. |
| Visual closure | identifying forms or objects from incomplete presentations. |
| Figure ground | differentiating between foreground and background forms and objects. |
| Depth perception | determining the relative distance between objects, figures, or landmarks and the observer, and changes in planes of surfaces. |
| Spatial relations | determining the positioning of objects relative to each other. |
| Topographical Orientation | determining the location of objects and settings and the route to the location. |
| Neuromusculoskeletal | pertaining to nerves, muscles, and the skeletal system. |
| Reflex | eliciting an involuntary muscle response by sensory input. |
| Range of motion ROM | moving body parts through an arc. |
| Muscle tone | demonstrating a degree of tension or resistance in a muscle at rest and in response to stretch. |
| Strength | demonstrating a degree of muscle power when movement is resisted, as with objects or gravity. |
| Endurance | sustaining cardiac, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal exertion over time. |
| Postural control | using righting and equilibrium adjustments to maintain balance during functional movements. |
| Postural alignment | maintaining biomechanical integrity among body parts. |
| Soft tissue integrity | maintaining anatomical and physiological condition of interstitial tissue and skin. |
| Motor | actions of behaviors a client uses to move and physically interact with tasks, objects, contexts, and environments, includes planning, sequencing, and executing novel movements. |
| Gross coordination | using large muscle groups for controlled, goal-directed movements. |
| Laterality | using a preferred unilateral body part for activities requiring a high level of skill. |
| crossing the midline | moving limbs and eyes across the midsagital plane of the body. |
