"Arming" You with Therapies: Evidence Based Techniques for Upper Extremity Motor NeuroRehabilitation

---

1.  The following are examples of learning based upper extremity (UE) therapies, EXCEPT: Modified constraint-induced therapy Robotic therapies integrating repetitive practice Electrical stimulation therapies integrating repetitive practice All of the above are examples

2.  A "push" resource is one that: You visit regularly to obtain evidence Your colleagues encourage you to use Is evidence based Sends you information that confirms to search terms you have provided

3.  Good "push" resources for obtaining evidence include all of the below EXCEPT: Google scholar Medline/PubMed Written resources at your place of employment Both A and B

4.  Modified constraint induced therapy primarily uses concepts: That encourage affected arm use That are based in motor learning That are based on the "PRACTICE" principles All of the above

5.  Evidence based practice encourages you to: Forget everything you used to do and only use evidence based techniques Integrate clinical judgment with concepts supported by research Only use clinical judgement None of the above

6.  All of the below are useful testing methods of determining something about UE clinical status EXCEPT: Medline Neuroimaging Action Research Arm Test Box and Block

7.  Betty exhibits active distal wrist and finger movement and will likely be a candidate for modified constraint induced movement therapy. The ______________________ is an excellent, movement based, outcome measure to use on this patient. Medline Neuroimaging Action Research Arm Test Box and Block

8.  Gopi has moderate affected arm movement and can follow directions. The ______________________ is an excellent, movement based, dexterity measure to use on this patient. Medline Neuroimaging Action Research Arm Test Box and Block

9.  According to the PRACTICE Principles, to the fullest extent possible, UE therapies should be all of the following EXCEPT: Contain activities that are meaningful to the patient Maximally comfortable Located in a place that is convenient and accessible to the patient to encourage compliance and participation Progressive and challenging

10.  Modified constraint induced therapy is only effective on about 20% of the stroke population. True False xxx xxx
