Rehabilitating Limb Dyspraxia with the Interactive Metronome®

+What is Limb dyspraxia?
Also known as postural praxis - difficulty imitating different body/limb positions, and motor control.
Dyspraxia entails the partial loss of the ability to coordinate and perform certain purposeful movements and gestures in the absence of motor or sensory impairments.

+What is Limb dyspraxia?
Considered a syndrome reflecting motor system dysfunction at the cortical level, exclusive of the primary motor cortex
Can be considered a form of a motor agnosia. Patients are not paretic but have lost access to information about how to perform skilled movements

+Other forms (sub-types) of dyspraxia
Dyspraxia is also referred to as the following: Buccofacial dyspraxia Orofacial dyspraxia Ideational dyspraxia Ideomotor dyspraxia Limb-kinetic dyspraxia Verbal dyspraxia
Dyspraxia may be accompanied by a language disorder called Aphasia (difficulty expressing or understanding written or spoken language).

+Things to look out for…
Client takes your hand to
perform an action (as if your
hand will work better than
theirs)
Delays in responding to
requests
Often the client appears
unusual in their movements –
can appear stiff, clumsy, or
delayed in their motor skills
![Page 6: Limb Dyspraxia and Interactive Metronome](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5496ccdbac795959288b52c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
+More things to look out for…
Inconsistency in motor responses.
Difficulty learning a series or sequence of movements
Difficulty imitating
An action takes a long time to learn.

+Even more things to look out for…
Most dyspraxic clients are considered to be either cognitively impaired, or willfully uncooperative due to their difficulties responding.
Often, when writing or typing, the same scribble or key combinations appear over and over again
![Page 8: Limb Dyspraxia and Interactive Metronome](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5496ccdbac795959288b52c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
+Yep, more things to look out for…
A client might leave the table repeatedly because they have a motor pattern for getting up and going. Often, these clients will welcome your breaking of the pattern, rather than appearing angry if you obstruct
You may have a strong sense that the client understands much more than they are demonstrating.
Often, there is poor bilateral coordination.
Also, there is usually no clearly dominant hand.
![Page 9: Limb Dyspraxia and Interactive Metronome](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5496ccdbac795959288b52c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
+And finally…
There may be poorer performance of tasks that involve alternating contraction and extension of opposing muscle sets.
Sometimes, when a dyspraxic client does respond, the movement is quick and impulsive. Slow and controlled movement may be rarely seen.
![Page 10: Limb Dyspraxia and Interactive Metronome](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5496ccdbac795959288b52c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
+Limb dyspraxia: special considerations
Require more trials to create or re-establish motor patterns
Require more time to practice using motor patterns when appropriate, and not using the pattern when not appropriate
Over time, and with practice, the client can become more and more adept at controlling their extremities.
With progress builds cognition – cognitive ability that they always had, but could not demonstrate.
With increased cognition, the client becomes more functional – this may translate to a more GENERALIZED response to their environment, or to a development of functional ROUTINES to master specific situations.

IM : a valuable
tool to access the
neuro-networks
responsible for
motor processing
speed and
delivery.
![Page 12: Limb Dyspraxia and Interactive Metronome](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5496ccdbac795959288b52c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
+Customizing IM to facilitate rehabilitation of the client with dyspraxia
Step 1• Set up the client with IM station at the Phase
One level (learning to associate with the beat).
• Use low repetitions, a tempo that facilitates success (often higher than the 54 bpm default setting), and a volume setting that is comfortable to the individual.
• Practice initially with reference tone only, and using upper extremity access to the triggers (both hands, right hand, left hand)
![Page 13: Limb Dyspraxia and Interactive Metronome](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5496ccdbac795959288b52c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
+
Step 2 • Once a client has reached a level where they
have an automated response to an IM task (no longer challenging executive functions) they can progress to higher levels of difficulty
• This may include: a change in tempo (often a little slower), introduction of guide sounds (Phase Two level) and difficulty settings graded from easiest (300) to gradually harder (auto) levels.
• Access to triggers may be modified, but should aim to progress to more fluency over excessive resistance.

+Session by session, client by client, be sure to consider…
Environment
Positioning – just right level of support
Access to triggers
Component steps to tasks
Most efficient feedback for client

+Refine your baseline data
discipline specific standardized testing
functional observations and assessments
social and tool-use pantomiming
video-recording and use of media to log subtle changes (with appropriate consent forms completed)

+ Grounded activities allow for increased focus on limb movement over concurrent whole body balance

+Contain environment
contain and master isolated limb movements
