This includes the ability to adapt motor behavior to meet the demands of different task and environmental conditions.
46
Reactive balance
Ability to respond to sensory input that signals a need for a response to ensure successful maintenance of postural control. The need for a response is unanticipated but may be generated externally (perturbation originating external to body) or secondarily to an internally generated movement. This includes the ability to adapt motor behavior to meet the demands of different task and environmental conditions
47

A CN 3 lesion causes...
the ipsilateral eye to look laterally and down (pulled by unopposed muscles innervated by CNs 4 and 6)

79
Trigeminal Nerve- CN V examination
With the patient’s eyes closed, use a cotton ball or the pad of your index finger to lightly touch the patient’s face.

Impaired lacrimation (tear production to clean/lubricate the eyes)
Impaired taste on the anterior 2/3 of the tongue
Impaired corneal “blink” reflex
82
Vestibulocochlear Nerve- CN VIII
The patient’s eyes should be closed. Hearing can be assessed by rubbing the pads of your thumb and index finger together next to one of the patient’s ears and asking for indication of when the rubbing is heard
Bilaterally symmetrical hearing is expected unless a known hearing loss is present.
Test one ear at a time.
83
Rinne Test (Special Test)
Place and hold the stem of a vibrating tuning fork on the mastoid bone; when the patient no longer hears it, move the vibrating tuning fork tines into the air approximately 1 in from the ear canal
Sound is conducted through air approximately twice as long as it is conducted through bone, and therefore the patient should be able to continue hearing the vibrating tuning fork after it is removed from the mastoid process.
84
Weber Test (Special Test)
Place and hold the stem of a vibrating tuning fork on the top of the patient's head; ask the patient if the sound is louder in one ear than the other. Normally the sound is equally loud in both ears.
85

Other processes are influenced by external input - sensory experience, motor experience, task training
112
Cognitive stage
initial stage, trying out a variety of strategies (abandoning those that don’t work and carrying on with what works), needs a lot of attention and conscious effort, performance quite variable, makes many mistakes, improvements can be large
113
Associative stage
by now best strategy is selected, makes less mistakes, practices more and more to refine the skill, needs less attention, improvements are slower/smaller
114
Autonomous stage
performance mostly automatic, can divert attention to other tasks (paying too much attention to elements of task can reduce performance!)
115
Bernstein’s 3 stage model
mastering the degrees of freedom. The 3 stages are novice, advanced, and expert. Talks about releasing degrees of freedom at different joints with higher stages, eg – learning to use a hammer using just elbows, then wrist, then wrist, elbow, shoulder
Releasing degrees of freedom allows for more efficient and flexible movements according to task and environment demands.
external support may be needed in early stages

May improve acquisition of skill
122
Variable practice
Practice of a given task under variable conditions
Better for retention and transfer of skill
123
