114 Optimizing Outcomes in Rehabilitation: Motor Learning Principles and Beyond: Summary
118. Which of the following is NOT an example of how to drive neuroplasticity? a. Antonio underwent extensive rehabilitation within the first 3 months of his TBI b. Gladys hopes to improve her ability to stand up by diligently performing her bed exercises d. Bobby knows he will best improve his tackling ability by taking the field with his team and getting more tackles in practice games 119. Which statement is true regarding older adults? c. Yoseph tries to optimize his recovery by practicing as much as possible in every session a. They have more issues with motor learning at all stages as compared to younger adults b. Learning new tasks can be overwhelming, so they do better with less feedback overall c. Because of difficulties with explicit learning, it is best to simplify instructions for them d. Due to longer range of experiences, older adults tend to do better learning complex tasks a. Somewhere in the midrange between small and large errors is ideal for learning b. Small errors are better in order to ease learning and promote confidence c. Larger errors are ideal because they are easier to observe and correct d. Errors have no role in motor learning 121. Ben is a 75-year-old with Parkinson disease 120. What is the ideal range of errors for promoting optimal learning? who is training how to stand safely from a lower seat. Which is an example of proper challenge point setting? a. Standing from a height that Ben needed some help to successfully stand from but could still stand at least 5 times before resting b. Standing from a seat height that allowed Ben to easily stand without assistance 15 to 20 times c. Standing from a seat height that Ben had visible difficulty with but could still stand successfully 5 to 10 times d. All of the above are proper challenge settings for the patient
122. Tanner is a 10-year-old being coached on his golf swing. With every attempt, Tanner is visibly using different strategies and his technique is highly variable, with little improvement seen in his ability to effectively hit the ball. Which of the following strategies might help him the most? a. Just continue encouraging Tanner to continue practice reps, and his swing will improve with time b. Randomly change up the clubs to enhance learning through contextual interference c. Stay with smaller club and encourage a slower shorter-range swing to simplify the task d. Tanner should stand on foam while swinging to switch his focus from arm swing to balance and lower body control 123. Emilie is a 35-year-old with an incomplete spinal cord injury working on improving her step clearance. She consistently catches her right toe and trips about every five or six steps and can’t seem to correct this on her own. What is the best option for rehabilitation training? a. An ankle foot orthosis to ease foot clearance and ensure proper step mechanics b. An ankle weight on her right foot that is heavy enough to exacerbate her foot clearance problem c. Increased therapist cueing to ensure Emilie attends to her right foot every step d. Training with an assistive device, like a walker, to allow for easier stepping a. It has been found to be equivalent, at best, to error-based learning b. It has been found to be far superior to error- based learning c. It is a method of learning characterized by challenging past current level of ability 124. Which of the following is true about errorless learning? d. It is a method of learning that focuses on ignoring errors to enhance performance
