LSVT BIG CERTIFICATION QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ACCURATE ANSWERS
module 10
LSVT protocol have a research background summarized as: - Answers -a Randomized
control trial documented that effects of LSVTB were superior to two alternative
treatmnets (Nordic walking and home exercises) at 16 week post treatment for the
motor score of UPDRS
a recent study examining reaction time in people with PD reported that supervised
exercised programs (LSVTB and Nordic Walking) improves cued reaction time
suggesting a positive impact of exercise on cognitive aspects of movement: - Answers -
true
the LSVTB strategy differed from intensive traditional physical therapy program in
measures of: - Answers -trunk rotation, dual task functioning, and maximum
performance task
module 11 - Answers -module 11
the assessment is included in the 16 treatment sessinos. - Answers -false
paradigm shifts in the delivery of care DO NOT include:
pushing pt to work harder
minimizing verbal explanations
giving more rest breaks
modeling to change behavior - Answers -giving more rest breaks
we use the maximal daily exercises as a way to faciliate increased amplitude of
movement for generalization to daily life. - Answers -true
by week four, the maximal daily exercises and functional component tasks may take
only 10-15 minutes. - Answers -false
takes 30 minutes at week 4; bc want to 1/2 of hour with big walking hierarchy task
module 12 - Answers -module 12
in the seated sustain exercises (floor to ceiling, side to side) the sustained time hold is?
- Answers -8 seconds
, during the seated sustained exercises it is important to?
maintain big posture
reach as far as possible in every direction
sustain hold position for muscle activation - Answers -ALL the above
module 13 - Answers -module 13
the primary purpose of the multidirection repetitive movements (step forward, step
sided, step backward) is to improve? - Answers -amplitude of movement in all planes,
throughtout the body
key consideration for the multidirectional repetitive exercises include all except:
taking the biggest step possible despite losing balance on every repition . they will
eventually stop losing their balance with practice
maintaining BIG Posture throughout all repition of the exercises
finishing each exercises with a distinct stomp of the foot and/or slpa of the hand with full
return of the foot to start position on every repetition
maintain neutral cervical alignment when doing step backward and reach exercises to
avoid cervical hyperextension - Answers -taking the biggest step possible despite
losing balance on every repition . they will eventually stop losing their balance with
practice
module 14 - Answers -module 14
during the rock and reach forward/backward exercises, it is important to make sure that
your patietn is standing in a tandem stance pattern with the narrowest base of support
possible - Answers -false
key considerations for the rocking and reaching exercises are:
start with wide BOS and always maintain big hands
work towards upper extremity symmetry with the biggest reach possible
focus on a big weight shift while maintaing big posture
ALL of the above - Answers -all the above
module 15 - Answers -module 15
with a pt in late stage PD, you may need to add more treatment weeks/sessions beyond
the initial 4 weeks (minimum of 16 sessions) of the protocol to work towards meeting
your goals - Answers -true
