Term
| what type of reflexes are present with spasticity |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| type of reflexes seen with low tone |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| hypotonia is seen where (2) |
|
Definition
| starting to come out of flaccidity, also seen with cerebellar lesions |
|
|
Term
| resistance ot passive stretch then gives way, decrease resistance |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| ratchet type resistance not rate dependent rigidty |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| stiff resistance, may have limited ROM, not rate depedent rigitdy |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| an increase in muscle tone with a marked velocity dependent increase when the muscle is passively stretch |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| causes for increased tone |
|
Definition
| changes in excitability of spinal interneurons, receptor hypersensitivity, formation of new synapses by sprouting |
|
|
Term
| New theory in spasticity is a result of the state of the muscle, why? |
|
Definition
| input from the mm spindle |
|
|
Term
| New theory of spasticity: muscle state: gilman's theory |
|
Definition
| centrla hypersensitivity to spindle inflow rather than a change in gamma motor neuron system activity |
|
|
Term
| New theory of spasticity: muscle state: hufschmidt |
|
Definition
| mm tone is due primarly to change in intrinsic mechanical properties of the spastic mm |
|
|
Term
| New theory of spasticity: muscle state: McComas theory |
|
Definition
| between 2-6 months number of functioning motor units is 50% in addition those motor units suriving had slower contraction times, longer latencies of conduction, and a decreased response to repetitive firing |
|
|
Term
| New theory of spasticity: muscle state: Powers theory |
|
Definition
| motor neuron resting membrane potential which is more depolarized than normal, as a result quick to discahrge and produce reflex activty |
|
|
Term
| Modified Ashworth Scale: 0 |
|
Definition
| no increase in mm tone (normal or flaccid) |
|
|
Term
| Modified Ashworth Scale: 1 |
|
Definition
| slight increase in mm tone, "catch" and relase with limb movement |
|
|
Term
| Modified Ashworth Scale: 1+ |
|
Definition
| slight increase in mm tone "catch" when limb moved then decreased resistance through remainder of ROM |
|
|
