Optimizing Outcomes in Rehabilitation: Motor Learning Principles and Beyond: Summary
94. 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 95. Which of the following is true about errorless learning? 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 d. It is a method of learning that focuses on ignoring errors to enhance performance gait training in his stroke rehabilitation program. What types of training parameters would you expect him to have? a. Emphasis of aerobic exercise over repetitive task practice b. Emphasis on quality of movement over 96. Walter is engaged in high-intensity speed or distance, with assistance as necessary to ensure proper technique c. Highly challenging modifications to gait, such as walking different directions d. Workload that increases heart rate to between 50% and 70% of maximum heart rate (or Borg scale of 12)
97. Which of the following about aerobic exercise to enhance training is true? a. Can be difficulty to balance the benefits versus the deleterious effects of fatigue on learning b. Has not been shown to be a promising addition to training programs for enhancing motor learning c. Probably only works with gait training, particularly with use of the treadmill d. When separate from functional training, seems to work best when done after a practice session 98. Zongqi is an 80-year-old who is trying to improve her muscle strength to improve her ability to stand and walk. What are safe training parameters, considering that she does not have any predisposing risk factors? a. 1 set of maximal reps with good form at 3/10 difficulty b. 2 to 3 sets of 15 to 20 reps with good form at a 5/10 difficulty c. 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps with good form at an 8/10 difficulty d. 3 sets of 10 reps with good form at a 10/10 difficulty 99. About how much does task practice account for recovery after a stroke? a. 1/2 b. 0 c. 1/3 d. 1/5 100. How much practice is needed beyond mastery to ensure long-term retention of a skill?
a. 10% b. 20% c. 40% d. 50%
