LSVT BIG LATEST
CERTIFICATION EXAM
What is the focus of Sensory Recalibration in BIG? - ANSWERS-Focus
attention on how it feels and looks to move BIG
What carryover activities can help with Sensory Recalibration? -
ANSWERS-- Daily assignments
- Probe for comments from others that patient "is moving better"
- Make and hold patient accountable for homework provided in book
Akinesia vs Bradykinesia vs Hypokinesia - ANSWERS-Akinesia =
hesitation in movement
Bradykinesia = slow movement
Hypokinesia = reduced amplitude
Why was amplitude rather speed chosen as the main focus of treatment
in BIG? - ANSWERS-Velocity can induce faster movements, but
doesn't consistently improve movement amplitude and accuracy, and
even result in reduced amplitude
Goal of LSVT Big? - ANSWERS-Overcome deficient speed-amplitude
regulation leading to underscaling of movement amplitude at any given
velocity.

CERTIFICATION EXAM
LSVT BIG aims to restore normal movement amplitude by: -
ANSWERS-recalibrating the patient's perception of movement
execution.
How does BIG differ from other PT for PD? - ANSWERS-Training of
movement amplitude is single treatment parameter
Big study for LSVT Big as far as PT comparison - ANSWERS-LSVT
Berlin Study
Likely that this could by why LSVT had better results in Berlin Study: -
ANSWERS-Specific protocol and face-to-face time with therapist
What are 3 unique fundamentals of LSVT programs? - ANSWERS-1)
Target Amplitude
2) Mode: Intensive, High effort therapy
3) Recalibration - addressing barriers to generalization
