Categories Of Motor Skills Flashcards
Degree of postural sway is a key element that must be assessed for which category of motor skills?
Static postural control
Initiation, termination and control of movement is a key element that must be assessed by the therapist for which category of motor skills?
Transitional mobility
What is the ability to consistently perform coordinated movement sequences for the purposes of investigation and interaction with physical & social environments?
Skill (or task)
Is talking a skill?
Yes. Skills include Locomotion, manipulation, communication tasks
What are the 4 categories of motor skills
- Transitional mobility
- Static Postural Control (stability)
- Dynamic postural control (controlled mobility)
- Skill (task)
Key areas of assessment during transitional mobility:
- Initiation, control of mvmt, and termination
- Overalll coordination
- Environmental constrains
Key areas of assessments during static postural control:
- BOS
- Postural sway
- Stabilization from UE and LE
- External assists needed
- Risk for fall
Key areas of assessments during dynamic postural control:
- Degree of postural stability maintained by WB segments
- Range and degree of controll of dynamic mvmt
- Level and type of assist needed
Key areas of assessments during a skill:
- Response, orientation, and direction of movement
- Precision, control, and consistency of mvmt
- Control of speed and timing
- Economy of effort
