– Cerebellum
– Brainstem
– Basal ganglia- Striatum, globis palids

ANS is...
has 2 systems
– Sympathetic- fight or flight

Function of ANS- Autonomic Nervous System
• Innervation of internal organs, blood vessels, glands
• Regulation of smooth muscles (cardiac and organs)
• Control of vegetative functions eg:
• Influence on muscle tone- Tracts
• Respiration, maintaining hemostasis

Parasympathetic Nervous System
• Activates to maintain homeostasis of body systems
• Cell bodies are located in the brain stem and sacral spinal cord
– Page 107
• Neurotransmitter is acetylcholine(Ach)
SNS is...
• SNS---responsible for innervation of skeletal muscles.
– Skeletal nervous system, somatic nervous system is what it is called

Sympathetic Nervous System
• Activates the fight/flight response
– Takes blood flow from GI tract

• Fine motor
– Writing, shaving, eating, brushing teeth/hair
– Maintains of posture
– Equilibrium
• Balance

Top down and Bottom up...What would you do first?
Top-Down
• Take a shower and get dressed, then assess their performance. Look at her performance based on an task.
• Which one do you use?
• Based on diagnoses, their history, or the circumstances (like if they are already in the shower, then go for Top-Down
Bottom-up
• Perform assessments for range of motion or another sensory testing. Based on that performance, then she will have problems with this and this area. Look at a certain component then generalize.
o Zolthan chapter 2
Types of assessments...
• Occupation-Based
Specific occupational performance tasks
• Static/Quantitative
Specific, quantitative measures of performance
Getting facts and numbers
Static means asking the client to do something with no feedback. Just do it and do the next thing asked
• Qualitative
Clinical observation
See how the client looks. If they have food on their face, if half their hair is combed etc
Reliability
o Consistency and Accuracy (How close data is to actual results)
 Test-Retest
 Inter-Rater
 Intra-Rater
o Reliability Co-Efficient
 1- The best 100% reliable
 0.8- acceptable
 0.6- Unacceptable
o Results are consistent and reliable. Test-retest. Giving the same assessment over time in the same conditions, the results would be the same. Inter-rater 2 different OT’s doing an assessment on a client and getting the same results, regardless of who’s giving it. Intra-rater, The assessors isn’t affect by how many times they give the assessment, even if they gave it 25 people
• Validity
• How well the test measures what it claims to measure
• Including correlating test results with actual functional abilities
• It measures what it is supposed to. The assessment measure sensation, then the assessment actually measures sensation.
Standardization of Scoring
