Document Summary
Ll muscles: which muscles are important for being able to move around in sitting. Sitting balance: dean et al sitting balance 1, reach distance: 60, 100 & 140% arm"s length, tasks: Subjects without disability: grasp a glass filled with water or, press a button self paced, reach distance 140, ll active before ul. Falling to affected side: decreased weight bearing on affected side, decreased ability to reach to affected side, which common kinematic deviation(s) does phil have, doesn"t wb on leg, can"t reach beyond arm"s length safely and controlled. Strong recommendation: practising reaching beyond arm"s length while sitting should be undertaken. 3. 7 apply evidence-based practice to the training of everyday activities in people with stroke: clinical trial - dean (1997, 20 subjects with stroke (1-17yrs. Post stroke) 1 drop-out: sham training group: reaching < 50% arm"s length, cognitive tasks: word identification, manipulative tasks, same number of reaching repetitions (approx 3,000 in 2 weeks) Intervention group: greater distance in all directions.
