Term
| Why is early recognition and treatment for stroke crucial |
|

Term
| When positioning your patient, who is post CVA in supine, how should you position the UE? |
|
Definition
| scapular protraction, elevation of the UE, fingers extended with neutral wrist |

Term
| Why is bridging a good exercise for a patient post-CVA? |
|
Definition
| It is out-of-synergy motion; promotes weight bearing through the involved LE; |

|
Definition
| Prolonged stretch to finger and wrist flexors, out-of-synergy motion |
