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

LSVT BIG provided the foundational evidence for using high-amplitude, high-effort movement training to improve motor function in Parkinson's disease.

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

PWR! uses multimodal cueing — visual, auditory, and tactile — to increase movement salience and help patients achieve and internalize larger movement amplitudes.

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

PWR! Moves are designed to be practiced across all functional positions — supine, sitting, standing, and walking — to maximize functional carryover.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Making exercise meaningful and attention-demanding to the patient

Answer

Salience means the exercise must be meaningful and require focused attention from the patient, which is critical for driving neuroplastic adaptation.

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 Up, which focuses on anti-gravity extensor activation, is the foundational move for sit-to-stand and upright posture transitions.
