Chapter 2: Measurement of Motor Performance Flashcards
Performance Outcome Measures
indicates outcome of performing a motor skill
Performance Production Measures
indicates the activity of motor control system during performance
Reaction Time
beginning signal until when movement begins… does NOT include movement
Response Time
reaction time + movement time
Pre-Motor Time
interval between the onset of stimulus and beginning of activity
Motor Time
interval from initial increase in muscle activity until actual limb movement
Kinetic Measures
motion without regard to force or mass
Displacement
change in position of limb and joint over time
Velocity
rate of change of displacement
Acceleration
rate of change of velocity
Kinetics
force as a cause of motion
