LSVT BIG CERTIFICATION CORRECT EXAMS
ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔there is relatively advanced neuropathology at the time a PD diagnosis is made. -
✔✔true
✔✔hypokinesia manifests in people with PD in all of the following ways EXCEPT:
-loss of loudness of speech (hypophonia)
-loss of amplitude of handwriting (micrographia)
--shortening of stride length during walking
-loss of speed and amplitude duration repetitive movements of fingers or limbs - ✔✔-
progressive loss of olfactory function
✔✔the clinical implication of hypokinesia/bradykinesia that are addressed in lsvtbig
treatment include: - ✔✔a weak get ready signal, weak go signal, and weak NO go
signal
✔✔lsvt big addresses the motor disorder of hypokinesia/brady by: - ✔✔scaling up the
amplitude of motor output through training bigger movements
✔✔non-motor symptoms directly addressed in lsvt big include : - ✔✔loss of higher
cognitive functions, sensory changes, and emotional changes
✔✔the number of repetitions of each exercise that bob completes in these
demonstrations videos are the same amount of done in an actual treatment session. -
✔✔false
✔✔verbal cues that the clinician used during the exercises included: - ✔✔big hands, big
posture, big steps
✔✔the focus in training big walking in lsvt is to stimulate amplitude by curing for big
arms and big steps. - ✔✔true
, ✔✔lsvt big is consistent with the following principles of neuroplasticity: - ✔✔intensity,
repetitions, saliency, specificity matters
✔✔exercise has been shown to have positive impacts on brain function. some of the
positive consequences include: - ✔✔neurotrophic factor expression, synatogensis, and
angiogensis
✔✔repetitions beyond behavioral gains of a skill are required to drive underlying
neuroplastic changes. - ✔✔true
✔✔animal models of PD have documented: - ✔✔-early exercise resulted in no
behavioral impairment and attentuated dopamine loss
-lack of exercise exacerbates behavior asymmetry and dopamin loss
-endogenous release of neurotrophic factors such as GDNF, may be a mechanism of
neuroprotections
✔✔when your neurology colleague says "i have always heard that lsvt loud speech
treatment lasted only a shirt time in PD, can you tell me about any data that should
change my mind?" you will say: - ✔✔published efficacy data support that the effects of
lsvt loud last for two years without additional treatment
✔✔the "spread of effects" of amplitude based training means: - ✔✔training one
treatment can have an impact acorss motor system and symptoms
✔✔an lsvt big treatment session ocnsist of all the following EXCEPT:
-hierarchy tasks
-maximal daily exercisis
-big walking
-functional compoent tasks - ✔✔-supine stretching exercises
✔✔the lsvt big exercises are not directly derived from the lsvt loud exercises: - ✔✔false
✔✔ module 10 - ✔✔module 10
✔✔LSVT protocol have a research background summarized as: - ✔✔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: - ✔✔true
