How has the NDT approach shifted recently?
- A.
Reflexive movement is utilized more often
- B.
More movement from the patient; therapist is less physically involved
- C.
More focus on sensory stimuli
- D.
Less focus on volitional movement
Correct Answer
B. More movement from the patient; therapist is less pHysically involvedExplanation
The NDT approach has shifted recently to involve more movement from the patient and less physical involvement from the therapist. This means that the patient is taking a more active role in their therapy, actively participating in movements and exercises. The therapist is no longer doing the movements for the patient, but instead providing guidance and support. This shift allows the patient to develop their own movement patterns and improve their motor control and function.Rate this question:

Which type of ROM is best for preventing contractures?
- A.
AROM
- B.
PROM
- C.
SROM
- D.
ROM should be avoided in patients susceptible to co
Correct Answer
C. SROMExplanation
SROM, or Self Range of Motion, is the best type of ROM for preventing contractures. This is because SROM involves the patient actively moving their own joints and muscles, which helps to maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness. AROM (Active Range of Motion) is also beneficial, but may not be suitable for all patients depending on their condition or limitations. PROM (Passive Range of Motion) involves a therapist or caregiver moving the patient's joints for them, and while it can be helpful, it may not be as effective in preventing contractures as SROM.Rate this question:
