Q

What is the reflex theory of motor control?

16
Q

What is motor learning?

A

understanding the acquisition and/or modification of skilled action

17
Q

What is motor relearning?

A

reacquisition of motor skills or movement lost due to injury

18
Q

What are the forms of motor learning?

A
  • Declarative learning
  • Procedural Learning
19
Q

What is declarative learning?

A

mentally practicing a movement or a sequence (learning skill)

20
Q

What is procedural learning?

A

no attention or conscious thought (skill practiced)

21
Q

What are the two forms of long term memory?

A
  • Explicit (declarative)
  • Implicit (nondeclarative)
22
Q

What are Fitts & Posner’s stages of motor learning?

A

Stage 1: Early or Cognitive
Stage 2: Intermediate or Associative
Stage 3: Autonomous

23
Q

What’s the focus on Bernstein’s approach to motor learning?

A

emphasis on controlling the degrees of freedom (dof) of the body segments

24
Q

What are the three stages of Bernstein’s approach to motor learning?

A

1st stage: simplify mvmt, restrict dof
2nd stage: expand dof
3rd stage: dof released, use of more passive forces to increase efficiency

25
What are Gentiles two stage model of motor learning?
1st stage: minimal environment variation, consistent mvmt pattern 2nd stage: changing environment conditions, mvmt diversification
26
What are the therapeutic applications of motor learning?
- Practice levels - Practice conditions - Feedback
27
What are some feedback considerations for motor learning?
- verbal vs manual vs visual - frequency - timing - bandwidth (only when falls outside certain correctness)
28
What is involved in Ax for therapeutic applications?
- observation - functional tasks - neurological Ax - factors impacting motor learning
29
What is involved in the intervention for therapeutic applications?
- task orientated approach - functional mvmt - intensity - exercise variety - feedback - patient customised - real life objects & environment - progressive - functional goals
