Which of the following is not an example of a situation where a resident may benefit from a comprehensive therapy assessment due to the presence of a medical condition that may increase risk of falls by affecting or limiting Sensory Input?

Diagnosis of cataracts with low or decreased vision bilaterally.
Diagnosis of bilateral lower extremity neuropathy with absent light touch and joint sense below both knees.
Moving around the home environment during periods of low lighting.
Diagnosis of vertigo with reports of dizziness.

Which of the following is true regarding individuals who demonstrate impairments of the Sensory Integration balance system?

A resident who is dependent upon Visual Processing may be a greatest risk for falls in situations of poor or inadequate lighting, or when vision is obstructed.
A resident who is dependent upon Somatosensory Processing may be at greatest risk for falls in situations of uneven surfaces or changes to footwear.
A resident who uses too little Vestibular input (or demonstrates a hypo-Vestibular Processing) may be at greatest risk for falls with changes in speed of movement or changes in head & body position.
All of the above

True or False. In general, reactionary Motor Processing needs, such as unplanned balance challenges or surprising loud sounds, are more challenging and can lead to more falls and losses of balance than anticipatory (or planned) Motor Processing needs.

True
False

Which of the following most accurately identify specific skills, abilities, and areas included in the Motor Output balance system?

Strength, Power, and Coordination
Vision, Somatosensation, Vestibular
Ankle, Hip, and Stepping Strategies
Visual, Somatosensory, and Vestibular Processing

True or False. Therapy interventions may be both rehabilitative (aimed at restoring or improving specific skills & abilities) and/or habilitative (focusing on available compensatory or adaptation techniques) in nature.
