What is the rehabilitation focus on?
Training of motor control
What is motor control taught based on?
The understanding of: -impairments -secondary adaptions -biomechanics -motor learning -exercise science -brain reorganization after injury
What is the main objective of a PT in a stroke pt?
Optimization of motor performance in functional actions
Is there a medical or surgical intervention to consistently reduce neuronal damage post stroke?
NO
What is one of the main medical interventions of improving outcome?
Rehabilitation
In the stage of neurological rehab the focus is on what?
On the need for evidence-based clinical practice
This provides ways of studying in vivo cerebral plasticity and influence of interventions on brain reorganization and recovery
Functional Brain Imaging techniques
What does fMRI measure?
Hemodynamic response (the change in blood flow) related to neural activity in the brain or spinal cord of humans or other animals.
Is a type of specialized MRI scan
FMRI or functional magnetic
What is neuroplasticity?
Ability for connections between neurons to change
Therapist can promote positive or negative neuroplasticity (true or false)
TRUE
What techniques confirm brain remodeling?
PET, fMRI, TMS
In what level does therapy influence the process of recovery?
Neurological level
Which modern technique indicate that the functional organization of the primary motor cortex is much more complex than traditionally described for brain remodeling
Cortical mapping techniques
Where may changes in the nervous system occur?
Answer 15
