Question
Answer
Complete Evaluation   Identifies problems that can be managed by physical therapy, promotes health & well being, identifies potential life threatening or emergency conditions  
🗑
Evaluation   'comprehensive screening & specific testing process leading to a diagnostic classification or as appropriate to a referral to another practitioner'  
🗑
Initial evaluation (PTA Role)   PT does but you can greet  
🗑
Interim evaluation (PTA Role)   your are responsible for collecting data & give to PT  
🗑
Discharge evaluation (PTA Role)   collects data & special tests, PT makes assessment  
🗑
Neuromuscular Evaluation   patient history, systems review, test & measures  
🗑
Patient History (PTA Role)   past events, chron. order, history, physical any of these given from patient must be reported to PT  
🗑
Systems Review (PTA Role)   clearing potentially involved systems, can not make that call just collect data & report to staff (PT)  
🗑
Test & Measures   Largest part of getting information (PT does initial test & updates goals) PTA continues to take tests  
🗑
Common Tests & Measures   Vital signs, Observation, Arousal, Attention, Cognition, Sensation, Motor Exam (MMT), Coordination, Balance, Functional Ability  
🗑
Vital Signs   BP, HR, RR, Sp02, Temperature  
🗑
Observation   Visual, general & ease of movement, general affect & communication  
🗑
Arousal   Level of Consciousness (alert, lethargic, obtunded, stuporous, comatose, vegetative state  
🗑
Attention   awareness of the environment & ability to focus  
🗑
Cognition   Orientation (most frequent test), Memory, Following commands, Higher cognitive functions, Standardized assessments  
🗑
Sensation   Exteroceptive & proprioceptive, combined sensations  
🗑
ROM   normal vs abnormal, functional implications, cause of limitations (tone or strength issue)  
🗑
Strength   Measurable force exerted by a mm or a group of mm to overcome a resistance in one maximal effort. (strength & tone are NOT the same thing)  
🗑
Tone   resting activity of muscle, can very weak & high tone  
🗑
Nervous system can effect....   strength issue, may not be able to fix  
🗑
Endurance - (use 'Function')   Ability to sustain forces repeatedly or generate forces over a period of time. Will affect functional ability.  
🗑
Tone   readiness of muscle to contract  
🗑
Alpha Motor Neuron   must be excitory to have tone  
🗑
Deep Tendon Reflexes   Checking integrity of arch. Hyperreflexia (not getting inhibitory thru), Hyporeflexia (not getting excitory thru)  
🗑
Synergy   stereotypical movements that may be present & elicited in a patient w/neurological insults  
🗑
Developmental reflexes   premitive reflexes, most not present in adults (normal=protection, keeping upright)  
🗑
Coordination   separate from strength & ROM, it can affect it though. related to balance  
🗑
Balance   state of postural stability or equilibrium in which the COG is maintained within the boundaries of the BOS  
🗑
Balance feedback   info about state of system (slipped on ice - now do something)  
🗑
Balance feedforward   anticipatory impulses sent prior to movement & help prepare for movement (what body does before stepping on ice)  
🗑
Sensory Influences (Somatosensory)   weight bearing & positions of body party  
🗑
Sensory Influences (Vision)   providing info - staying upright  
🗑
Sensory Influences (Vestibular)   inner ear info, head position relative to gravity & movement of head  
🗑
Limit of Stability (LOS)   maximum angle of vertical that can be tolerated without LOB  
🗑
Sitting Strategies   Knee, Trunk, Abdomen, neck  
🗑
Standing Strategies   ankle 1st, hip flex 2nd, step 3rd  
🗑
Balance Assessment   Static & dynamic sitting & standing tested, can be coordination component (equilibrium tests)  
🗑
Balance Assessments used   Romberg, Sharpened Romberg, Berg, Tinnetti, CTISB  
🗑
Functional Ability   Bed mobility, sitting, transfers, standing, ADL, IADL, locomotion  
🗑
Locomotion   assist, device, context, deviations from normal, distance, speed, time elapsed, stride length, step length, stance time, BOX  
🗑
Historical Perspective for Interventions   Functional movement under rigid hierarchial control (CNS controls movement based on sensory input it receives)  
🗑
Motor Learning, Control & Neuroplasticity   Current (neurophysiology)  
🗑
Motor Learning (PTA Facilitates)   process of an individual acquiring, modifying & retaining motor memory patterns so that programs can be reused & modified during functional activities  
🗑
Principles of Motor Learning   acquiring the capability for a skilled action, experience or repetition, cannot be measured directly, produces relatively permanent changes  
🗑
Component affecting motor learning   difficulty of task, practice context, schedule of practice, stage of motor learning, feedback, motivation  
🗑
Most common motor learning   whole to part to whole  
🗑
motor control   process of how an individual controls movement already acquired (which muscles in what order)  
🗑
Stages of Motor Control (Stage 1)   Mobility (erratic movements)  
🗑
Stages of Motor Control (Stage 2)   Stability (ability to hold position in antigravity, WB position  
🗑
Stages of Motor Control (Stage 3)   Controlled mobility (proximal mobility combined with distal stability  
🗑
Stages of Motor Control (Stage 4)   Skill (most mature movement, proximal segments stable, distal segments free)  
🗑
Neuroplasticity   brains ability to adapt & use cellular adaptations to learn or relearn functions previously lost due to cellular death by trauma or disease at any age  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
