MPS COURSE OBJECTIVES QUIZ
1. What is the main focus of SBT (Sensory-Based Therapy)?
*
Increasing sensory stimuli to engage the nervous system
Reducing sympathetic upregulation (stress) to activate the parasympathetic healing system
Using physical exercise to improve nervous system regulation
Focusing only on the brain-based models for sensory treatment
2. What is Sensory Defensiveness?
*
A condition where a person has a heightened response to sensory stimuli
The inability to process sensory information in a typical way
A disorder that only affects children with autism
An inability to feel pain or discomfort in response to stimuli
3. What is the main advantage of the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) model for sensory recovery?
*
It treats sensory symptoms as purely psychological
It isolates the brain from the rest of the body in treating sensory symptoms
It views sensory recovery as a body-wide phenomenon
It only focuses on brain-based neurological approaches
4. Which of the following is a result of prolonged sympathetic nervous system activation (stress)?
*
Improved digestion and immune function
Reduced blood flow to organs and a shutdown of cellular healing
Enhanced cognitive functioning
Increased blood flow to organs and muscles
5. What is the primary cause of sensory processing issues in children?
*
Genetic factors only
Excessive exposure to sensory stimuli
Lack of sensory stimulation
Stress-induced sensory defensiveness and an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System
6. Which part of the vagus nerve is primarily involved in the "fight or flight" response?
*
Right (dorsal) vagus nerve
Left (ventral) vagus nerve
Both vagus nerves equally
Neither of the vagus nerves
7.Why is it important to regulate HRV in sensory patients?
*
It directly influences the body's ability to manage sensory input, reducing stress and improving responses to stimuli
It increases the sensitivity of the nervous system to all stimuli
It has no effect on sensory processing but helps improve physical endurance
It only impacts sleep and does not affect sensory processing
8. What happens when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated?
*
It increases stress hormones like cortisol
It increases heart rate and prepares the body for action
It promotes relaxation, digestion, immunity, and healing while reducing stress responses
It reduces the function of the vagus nerve and slows digestion
9. What is the main therapeutic focus for improving sensory processing in children with sensory issues?
*
Increasing sympathetic stress to heighten alertness
Regulating HRV and enhancing vagal tone to reduce stress responses
Reducing physical activity to minimize sensory stimulation
Ignoring the role of the autonomic nervous system and focusing solely on behavioral therapy
10. What is the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and parasympathetic function?
*
Higher HRV indicates weak parasympathetic function and increased stress
Higher HRV indicates strong parasympathetic function and enhanced self-healing capabilities
HRV is unrelated to parasympathetic function and does not impact health
HRV is only relevant to the sympathetic nervous system and stress responses
11. Which of the following statement is true about the vagus nerve?
*
It only influences the brain and spinal cord
It plays a role in regulating the “fight or flight” response
It is the longest nerve in the body and innervates vital organs to regulate health and healing
It is the shortest nerve in the body and primarily influences the sympathetic nervous system
12. Which of the following is a common physical stressor experienced by children post-birth?
*
Intellectual challenges and lack of socialization
Falls, muscle injuries, and surgeries
Increased exposure to television and screen time
Excessive physical activity or sports participation
13. What is the main effect of scars on the autonomic nervous system?
*
Scars activate parasympathetic healing processes
Scars block sympathetic stress activation
Scars have no impact on stress or autonomic function
Scars create ongoing sympathetic stress, inhibiting proper autonomic nervous system functioning
14. Which types of scars are considered significant sources of stress in children?
*
Only cosmetic scars from minor injuries
Scars from surgical procedures, trauma, or forceps delivery
Scars that occur in adulthood and do not affect children
Scars from routine childhood vaccinations
15. How do birthmarks and third nipples impact the body's stress response?
*
They increase sympathetic nervous system activity, potentially activating a stress response due to their structural abnormalities
They enhance the body's ability to manage stress by activating parasympathetic healing responses
They have no measurable effect on the nervous system, as they are harmless cosmetic variations
They primarily stimulate the endocrine system, leading to improved immune function and stress resilience
16. Which of the following conditions is associated with Port Wine Stains when they appear on the upper face?
*
Down syndrome
Cerebral palsy
Sturge-Weber Syndrome
Osteoarthritis
17. How does Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) benefit the autonomic nervous system?
*
It stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to enhance alertness and focus
It directly induces parasympathetic healing, balancing the autonomic nervous system
It primarily works by reducing physical muscle tension without affecting the nervous system
It only improves blood circulation without affecting nervous system regulation
18. What makes DC Microcurrent Therapy particularly effective for sensory children?
*
It involves stronger electrical currents that stimulate the autonomic nervous system more effectively
The low electrical current mimics natural bio-cellular activity, improving healing without overstimulating the nervous system
It is painful but necessary to "reset" the body’s natural stress response
It only works for pain relief and does not impact nervous system function
19. Which of the following emotions is associated with the LU 9 point?
*
Fear
Grief
Anger
Broken Heart
20. Which point is specifically targeted for the treatment of "Broken Sequence" and is associated with grief?
*
LU 7 (Lung Lieque)
SP 6 (Spleen)
H7 (Valium Point)
K3 (Kidney)
21. Which of the following statement is true about the Thalamus Point?
*
It regulates sympathetic nervous system activity and reduces pain
It enhances parasympathetic activation for stress reduction
It regulates hormone levels through the pituitary gland
It specifically targets the perineum and pelvic floor
22. What is the Sympathetic Gate point primarily used for?
*
It helps activate parasympathetic nervous system and reduce stress
It balances endocrine functions through pituitary regulation
It supports the healing of trauma and emotional blockages
It deregulates the autonomic nervous system, reducing sympathetic dominance
23. Which of the following is a key benefit of Dolphin VNS therapy for sensory patients?
*
It is a highly invasive treatment.
It is a passive therapy that is easy to tolerate and doesn't require conscious effort.
It requires active physical engagement from the patient.
It induces a strong, subsensory shock to the nerves.
24. Dolphin VNS therapy is particularly useful for children with sensory processing issues because:
*
It increases sensory sensitivity
It promotes the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins
It involves high-frequency stimulation that excites the nervous system
It requires long, invasive treatments
25. Microcurrent therapy with Dolphin VNS is beneficial for children with sensory processing issues because it helps:
*
Desensitize hyper-reactive sensory pathways
Increase the child's sensory sensitivity to external stimuli
Cause extreme overstimulation to promote adaptation
Enhance muscle growth and strength
26. Where should the microcurrent pads be placed when using Dolphin therapy for severe sensory patients?
*
Over the scalp and neck
On the palms and soles of the feet
On the inner wrist, ankles, inner knees, and elbows
On the upper arms and lower back
27. What should be done to the microcurrent pads before applying them to sensitive or defensive patients?
*
Apply a strong adhesive to ensure they stay in place
Soak the pads in water to improve conductivity
De-stick the pads by applying them several times to the skin to reduce adhesion
Warm the pads before applying them to the skin
28. What is the goal of using Dolphin VNS therapy on the psoas muscle for children with cerebral palsy (CP)?
*
To increase flexibility in the hip joint
To release tightness and restore proper muscle balance
To promote muscle hypertrophy and growth
To relax the abdominal muscles
29. When using Dolphin microcurrent therapy, why is it important to de-stick the pads before applying them to sensitive patients?
*
To reduce skin irritation from the adhesive and ensure comfort
To prevent the pads from falling off during treatment
To enhance the adhesion strength
To increase the stimulation strength
