(1) Motor Control/Motor Learning Flashcards
“ability to regulate or direct the mechanism essential to mvmt”
motor control
“process of initiating, directing and grading purposeful voluntary mvmt”
motor control
Movement occurs as a result of interaction b/w what 3 factors
task, environment and individual
what 4 questions should you consider when assessing motor control in an examination
- how does CNS organize all parts
- what is the impact of sensory info
- how do perceptions of self, tasks and environment impact mvmt behavior
- how can mvmt problems be quantified when motor control problems exist
what does the ecological theory of mvmt control say?
person, task and environment interact to influence motor behavior and learning
what does the ecological theory say about motivation
motivation to solve problems to accomplish desired task goal facilitates learning
what are 3 implications of the ecological theory
- help pt explore multiple ways to achieve task
- learn critical aspects of environment that impact how mvmt is organized
- control and manipulation of environment are imp components of PT
what 3 aspects impact the individual in the mvmt framework?
- perception
- action
- cognition
what 3 things impact the task in the mvmt framework
- mobility
- stability
- manipulation
what 2 constraints impact the environment in the mvmt system
regulatory and non-regulatory factors
what individual constraint refers to the state of the body and where it is in space or its ability to take in info
sensory/perception
what individual constraint refers to attention, emotional state, motivation, ability to plan or problem solve
cognition
what is a structural vs a functional individual constraint
structural - relates to the body (height, weight, impairments)
functional - motivation, fear, attention, focus, etc
what is an open vs closed task constraint
open - task performed in a variety of conditions
closed - under same circumstances each time
what are the 3 types of tasks
discrete, serial, continuous
what type of task has - recognizable beginning and end
discrete
the following are examples of what type of task?
- pushup, lock wheelchair, kick ball once
discrete
what type of task is composed of mvmts and combined in a particular sequence
serial
the following is an example of what type of task
- eating with a fork
serial
what type of task is repetitive, uninterrupted mvmts with no distinct beginning or end
continuous
what type of task: brushing your teeth
serial
what type of task: throwing a ball, starting a car,
discrete
what type of task: rollerblading, playing piano, dribbling basketball
continuous
what is the difference b/w regulatory and non-regulatory environmental constraints
reg - aspects that shape the task itself
non - may affect performance but task does not have to conform to it
what type of environmental constraint is this:
- size, shape, weight of object,
- type of surface
regulatory
