PWR PWR Moves Fundamentals & Amplitude Training 2

Question 1

Amplitude training in PWR! is derived from principles originally developed in which evidence-based intervention?

Accepted Answer

LSVT BIG

Answer

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)

Answer

Bobath Concept (Neurodevelopmental Treatment)

Answer

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)

Question 2

Which cueing approach does PWR! recommend to help patients achieve appropriate movement amplitude?

Accepted Answer

Combining visual, auditory, and tactile cues to enhance movement awareness

Answer

Eliminating all external cues to promote motor automaticity

Answer

Using only auditory rhythm cues for movement timing

Answer

Proprioceptive cueing exclusively through manual resistance

Question 3

In PWR! programming, each of the four core moves can be practiced in which contexts?

Accepted Answer

Supine (floor), sitting, standing, and walking

Answer

Standing only, as gravity loading is required for all moves

Answer

Sitting only, to maximize safety in Parkinson's populations

Answer

Supine and standing, but not sitting due to trunk instability

Question 4

In PWR! neuroplasticity principles, 'salience' refers to which concept?

Accepted Answer

Making exercise meaningful and attention-demanding to the patient

Answer

The speed at which repetitions are performed during practice

Answer

The number of repetitions completed within a given session

Answer

The resistance level applied during strengthening exercises

Question 5

Which PWR Move is most foundational for improving sit-to-stand transitions in patients with Parkinson's disease?

Accepted Answer

PWR Up

Answer

PWR Twist

Answer

PWR Step

Answer

PWR Rock

Question 6

Reduced amplitude of movement in Parkinson's disease — where movements become smaller than intended — is clinically referred to as:

Accepted Answer

Hypokinesia (reduced movement amplitude)

Answer

Akinesia (absence of movement)

Answer

Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)

Answer

Dyskinesia (involuntary movement)

Question 7

Why does PWR! programming incorporate each move across multiple positions (supine, sitting, standing, walking)?

Accepted Answer

To systematically progress difficulty and ensure functional carryover across all daily contexts

Answer

To increase session variety and prevent patient boredom

Answer

To isolate different muscle groups in each separate position

Answer

To comply with insurance billing requirements for treatment time
