Deck 6: Approaches to Motor Control Dysfunction: An Evidence-Based Review

Question 1

Constraint induced therapy (CIT)is focused on:

A) progressive resistive exercise.
B) normalization of tone.
C) massed practice and grading of functional activities.
D) resisted diagonal patterns.

Answer 1

C
This is the main therapeutic factor for this approach.

Question 2

To use CIT,clients must possess:

A) proximal control.
B) isolated wrist/digit extension.
C) trunk stability.
D) intact sensation.

Answer 2

B
While inclusion criteria vary,some level of distal extension is required to participate in this intervention.

Question 3

The outcomes of CIT have been measured by the:

A) Ashworth scale.
B) Motor Activity Log (MAL).
C) Fugl-Meyer Assessment.
D) Barthel Index.

Answer 3

B
Real-world use,which the MAL measures,is considered a key outcome of this approach.

Question 4

Based on the available evidence,it may be concluded that:

A) task-oriented approaches are superior to traditional techniques.
B) NDT and CIT have similar outcomes.
C) NDT seems to be superior to task-oriented approaches.
D) none of the above.
