minimal detectable change; minimum amount of change
MDC in a score that ensures the change is not a result of mea-

minimal clinically important difference; smallest amount of
change in an outcome that might be considered important
MCID
by the patient or clinician (was it enough of a difference
to matter)

DCML vibration, proprioception, light touch, stereognosis
ALST pain, temperature, crude touch, pressure
also called: expressive / motor / nonfluent aphasia
Broca's aphasia can comprehend language but lacks the motor skills to be
able to speak
also called: receptive / sensory / fluent aphasia
Wernicke's aphasia cannot comprehend language but has the motor skills to
speak

unilateral neglect
ex: only eating off of the right side of the plate
shoulder pain causes during flaccid stage lack of tone, muscle paralysis, proprioceptive impairment
shoulder pain causes during spastic stage subluxations, poor scapular position, restricted movement
*active trunk alignment*
