ANSWERS 2025 UPDATE.
1. Impairment
Q: What is Impairment?
A: Any loss or abnormality of psychological, physical or anatomical structure or function.
2. Dysarthria
Q: What is Dysarthria?
A: Motor speech disorder. Difficulty in pronouncing words due to weak or non-moving mouth
muscles. Respiratory issues may also occur. Common in stroke and cancer patients.
3. Apraxia
Q: What is Apraxia?
A: Oral motor muscles lose function, preventing meaningful speech. It is a disorder of motor
planning, leading to the loss of learned purposeful movements.
4. Aphasia
Q: What is Aphasia?
A: A language disorder that prevents speech formulation. It can be congenital or acquired (e.g.,
stroke, TBI, CVA).
5. MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
Q: What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?
A: A disorder of the central nervous system, worsens in warm weather. It causes trouble with
vision, walking, and muscle stiffness.
,6. Rehabilitation Act 1973
Q: What is the Rehabilitation Act of 1973?
A: Federal funding assistance to public schools for applying reasonable accommodations in the
least restrictive environment.
7. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
Q: What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
A: Prohibits discrimination in employment, requires public accommodations, and applies to
businesses with 15 or more employees.
8. Disability
Q: What is a disability?
A: When impairment leads to the inability to perform an activity.
9. Assistive Technology Act 1998
Q: What is the Assistive Technology Act of 1998?
A: Promotes awareness and provision of assistive technology and services to persons with
disabilities, helping them participate in education, work, and daily activities.
10. Intrinsic Enabler
Q: What is an intrinsic enabler?
A: It refers to a human's ability to perform a task, including sensory input, central processing,
and motor control (effectors).
11. Components of Central Processing
Q: What are the components of central processing?
A: Perception, motor control, cognition, and psychological function.
12. Fixed Deformities
Q: What are fixed deformities?
A: Conditions that affect skeletal alignment, requiring seating that accommodates these issues.
, 13. Force
Q: What is Force?
A: Anything that acts on a body to change its rate of acceleration.
14. Three Types of Force
Q: What are the three types of force?
A:
Tension: Two forces pulling away from each other.
Compression: Two forces pushing toward each other.
Shearing: Two forces sliding away from each other.
15. Static Equilibrium
Q: What is static equilibrium?
A: When a body is at rest and all internal and external forces are balanced.
16. Dynamic Equilibrium
Q: What is dynamic equilibrium?
A: When forces are balanced around the body during movement.
17. Torque
Q: What is torque?
A: A force that causes the rotation of the body around an axis.
18. Newton's Laws of Motion
Q: What are Newton's Laws of Motion?
A:
1st: Inertia — A body at rest until acted upon by an external force.
2nd: Acceleration will be directly proportional to any unbalanced force applied.
3rd: For every action, there is an opposite reaction.
19. Dysphagia & Aphagia
