Motor Control Exam #2 Questions and
Answers
Task Oriented Approach to Examination - correct answer-Functional limitations
Strategy
Impairments
(used in neuro and peds)
Traditional IFC Model - correct answer-Health condition
Body structure/ function
Activity
Participation
Impairment Level Components - correct answer-Mental status
mobility (ROM, play, soft tissue)
Motor control
vital functions (ANS, endurance, cardiac)
Sensation, perception pain
functional abilities (gait locomotion)
Equipment
Functional Level - correct answer-Quantitative
Mental Status (impairments) - correct answer-Communication/ mood/ affect
Motor control (impairments) - correct answer-tone
strength
reflexes
voluntary movement patters
motor planning ability
coordination
balance
postural reactions
Floor to Ceiling Effect - correct answer-Ex: well elderly who are independent may score
high, but still have balance concerns
(appropriate level for individual)
Descriptive Terminology - correct answer-independent
supervision
close guarding
, contact guarding
MIA, MOA, MAA, MAX
Functional balance grades (normal/good/fair/poor/none)
Nominal measures - correct answer-able to do or not do
independent or dependent
check list
yes/ no
Ordinal Measures - correct answer-rank order
graded scales (MMT)
interval
summary or additive measures
12345
Quality of Instruments - correct answer-reliability, validity, sensitivity
(minimal detectable change)
(minimally clinically important difference)
Limitations to functional tests and measures - correct answer-no instrument is perfect
does not tell what is the impairment of function
only a part of the PT assessment
reliability, validity, time, resources
2) Strategy Level - correct answer-Qualitative measure
defined- selected movement patter
(degrees of freedome)
limited research evaluations
3) Impairment Levels - correct answer-Constraints of function
cognition, sensory/perception, weakness, tone, coordination, balance dysfunction
positive vs negative
direct vs indirect
Task Oriented Approach (intervention) - correct answer-resolve reduce or prevent
impairments
develop effective and efficient task specific strategies
functional goal oriented tasking in changing environment (increase activity, decrease
disability)
Functional Task Oriented Strategies - correct answer--early training
-define goal of task practice
-determine activities to be practiced
-determine practice parameters
-utilize behavior shaping techniques
