LSVT BIG CERTIFICATION FINAL EXAMS ACTUAL
ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔the LSVTB protocol 4x per week for 4 weeks can be lengthen as needed for persons
with advanced PD, neural disorders, or other comorbidities - ✔✔true
✔✔customizing or adpating the LSVTB MDE by giving increased support or performing
them in a different positions (sitting) changes the protocol into something that cannot stil
be called LSVTB. - ✔✔false
✔✔benefits interdisciplinary care in people with PD using LSVTL and LSVTB include all
EXCEPT:
-PT realted deficits of hypokinesia and bradykinesia are holisticlally addressed as it
related to voice and movement through a singular focus on amplitude
-potentially dirving neuroplasticity to a greater degree through increase intensity, and
doubly increased attention to a singular focus on amplitude across discplines
-increased opportunities for feedback on amplitude of voice or movement across
disciplines to drive sensory calibration to an even greater degree - ✔✔-reduced
homework time for the patient
✔✔when a patient recieved the LSVTB (1 hr session, 4x/4wk) from both PT and OT: -
✔✔PT and OT would complete their own separate discipline assessments, write their
own goals and each see the patient 2d/wk
✔✔an LSVTB certified PT or OT can delegate part of the LSVTB treatment to a non-
LSVTB certified PTA or OTA: - ✔✔false
✔✔you should beware of patients who imporve in the treatment room no matter what
you do because: - ✔✔pateients may improve in the treatment room, but dont carry over
their improvements into daily living when instructions are too complex
,✔✔all efficacy data for LSVTB are based upon the gold standward dosage of 4d/4wk
consecutive weeks. - ✔✔true
✔✔future goals to increase the accessibility of LSVTB for people with PD while
maintaing treatment fidelity include : - ✔✔training additional LSVTB clinicians and
utilizing technology through telepractice and gaming software specifically developed
and researched for LSVTB
✔✔LSVTB can be successfully marketed in your community through: - ✔✔-pt education
by speaking to local PD support groups
-letters to physicians in your area notifying them you are LSVTB certified
-world of mouth from patients to other patients
-local news stories or TV in your clinic
✔✔to keep the LSVT clinician directory up to date, you are able to update your own
profule and organization information anytime through your LSVT clinican account. -
✔✔true
✔✔resources for getting help or asking questions about LSVTB include all EXCEPT:
-free LSVTB webinars
-list of frequently asked questions
-emailing questions for the expert of the month to answer
-an lsvtb facebook group for posting and responding to questions/issues - ✔✔-advice
from experienced, but non LSVTB certified clinicans
✔✔renewal of LSVTB is required every 2 years - ✔✔true
✔✔LSVTB renewal requires: - ✔✔completinga short online renewal course, updating
contact information and paying a small renewal fee
✔✔modules 1-9 - ✔✔modules 1-9
✔✔as an LSVTB certified clinician you are able to: - ✔✔provide info lectures with an
overview of the lsvtbig program and supporting research data to patient support groups
✔✔as you progress through the online lsvtbig training and certification course you can
skip slides, videos or modules to save time. - ✔✔false
✔✔to ensure optimal learning during the onlone lsvt big course we recommend all of the
following EXCEPT:
-use external speakers or headphone for excellent quality
-be prepared to practice the exercise with instructors
, -print the syllabus
-print and save resources from each module for future reference - ✔✔progress as
rapidly as possible, and if you dont have time to practice exercises, it does not matter
✔✔lsvt big is: - ✔✔program of physical or occupational therapy based upon the
principles of lsvt loud (single targert, intensive and high effort treatment, and sensory
calibration) with the singe cue: MOVE BIG
✔✔advances in neuroscience have impacted rehabiliation by: - ✔✔providing data to
support the impact of physical exercise on symptoms of PD and disease modification
✔✔lsvt protocol have a research background summarized as follows: - ✔✔over 25
years of NIH funded research documenting the efficacy and underlying basis of lsvt
protocols
✔✔lsvt is: - ✔✔lee silverman voice treatment
✔✔the paradigm shifts associated with lsvtb are: - ✔✔target, mode, calibration
✔✔the single treatment target or improving amplitude (bigness) in lsvt big is important
because it: - ✔✔-provides single cognitive focus for patients
-enhances many level of move (amplitude, speed, balance)
-improve efficiency of treatment
✔✔lsvt big is different from traditional therapy for people with PD in what ways? -
✔✔lsvt big uses a single treatment target, is delivered in an intensive and high effort
manner and addresses sensory processing impairments
✔✔intensive, high effort delivery of treatment in lsvt big is important because: - ✔✔it
drives maximal plasticity and is consistent with principles of motor learning
✔✔calibration in lsvt big addresses: - ✔✔-sensory deficits
-internal cueing deficits
-neuropsychological defiicts
✔✔intensity across sessions in lsvtbig involves all of the following except: - ✔✔skipping
sessions when a patient is feeling sore from the previous day session
✔✔calibration in lsvt big is defined as: - ✔✔patients know and accept the amount of
effort needed to consistently produce bigger movements, and the use bigger
movements in daily living
