LSVT BIG LATEST
CERTIFICATION EXAM
lsvt big is different from traditional therapy for people with PD in what
ways? - ANSWERS-lsvt big uses a single treatment target, is delivered
in an intensive and high effort manner and addresses sensory processing
impairments
intensive, high effort delivery of treatment in lsvt big is important
because: - ANSWERS-it drives maximal plasticity and is consistent with
principles of motor learning
calibration in lsvt big addresses: - ANSWERS--sensory deficits
-internal cueing deficits
-neuropsychological defiicts
intensity across sessions in lsvtbig involves all of the following except: -
ANSWERS-skipping sessions when a patient is feeling sore from the
previous day session
calibration in lsvt big is defined as: - ANSWERS-patients know and
accept the amount of effort needed to consistently produce bigger
movements, and the use bigger movements in daily living

CERTIFICATION EXAM
lsvt big addresses the sensory disorder of a mismatch between perceived
and actualy motor output by: - ANSWERS-retraining a client perception
of what is normal bigness and the effort required to produce it
the clincial diagnosis of PD is typically made when the following
symptoms observed:
-hypokinesia/bradykinesia
-tremor
-rigidity - ANSWERS-2/3 of the symptoms
medical management of PD includes: - ANSWERS-both
neuropharmacological (drug) Treatment and neurosurgical (deep brain
stimulation) treatments
the rationale for treating individuals with young onset PD as early as
possible is: - ANSWERS-many of these individuals have young families
and are working so it is important to keep them as productive as possible
for as long as possible

CERTIFICATION EXAM
there is relatively advanced neuropathology at the time a PD diagnosis is
made. - ANSWERS-true
hypokinesia manifests in people with PD in all of the following ways
EXCEPT:
-loss of loudness of speech (hypophonia)
-loss of amplitude of handwriting (micrographia)
--shortening of stride length during walking
-loss of speed and amplitude duration repetitive movements of fingers or
limbs - ANSWERS--progressive loss of olfactory function
the clinical implication of hypokinesia/bradykinesia that are addressed in
lsvtbig treatment include: - ANSWERS-a weak get ready signal, weak
go signal, and weak NO go signal
lsvt big addresses the motor disorder of hypokinesia/brady by: -
ANSWERS-scaling up the amplitude of motor output through training
bigger movements

CERTIFICATION EXAM
non-motor symptoms directly addressed in lsvt big include : -
ANSWERS-loss of higher cognitive functions, sensory changes, and
emotional changes
the number of repetitions of each exercise that bob completes in these
demonstrations videos are the same amount of done in an actual
treatment session. - ANSWERS-false
verbal cues that the clinician used during the exercises included: -
ANSWERS-big hands, big posture, big steps
the focus in training big walking in lsvt is to stimulate amplitude by
curing for big arms and big steps. - ANSWERS-true
lsvt big is consistent with the following principles of neuroplasticity: -
ANSWERS-intensity, repetitions, saliency, specificity matters
exercise has been shown to have positive impacts on brain function.
some of the positive consequences include: - ANSWERS-neurotrophic
factor expression, synatogensis, and angiogensis
