Motor Control Exam #2 questions with
verified solutions
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
