Examine the following image and indicate if the image depicts hypotonicity or hypertonicity.  Then identify the occupational therapy intervention strategy the COTA is using to address the patient’s abnormal muscle tone. (2 points)  

To attempt to manage upper extremity hypotonicity in a patient following a CVA, the COTA would utilize ___________________techniques to increase muscle tone and increase functional use of the affected upper extremity. (1 Point)   Please provide a specific, detailed example of an occupational therapy intervention strategy or tool to treat the affected upper extremity and hand. (2 points)

Sensory Stimulation and Sensory Intervention of the individual with a Traumatic Brain Injury is an important aspect of appropriate occupational therapy intervention in the Intensive Care Unit settings.  Please match the sensation term with its appropriate definition/description.   

The COTA is treating a patient who suffered an acquired brain injury five months ago.  The client has demonstrated limited awareness and insight into their areas of impairment during occupational therapy intervention sessions.  This lack of awareness may result in:

The COTA is has demonstrated service competency in goniometry and manual muscle strength testing of the upper extremities.  The COTA has a number of patients on their caseload in the rehabilitation setting that have had a stroke resulting in upper extremity weakness.  Please summarize and describe each numeric rating of the Manual Muscle Testing Scale as reviewed in lab.  Discuss which exercises would be appropriate for each numeric rating.  Describe when you would assess and treat a patient in against gravity and gravity minimized positions.  What are the specific positions for the shoulder, elbow, forearm and wrist motions.  What are typical interventions that are utilized by the COTA to increase motion, increase muscle strength and to influence muscle tone.
