control Flashcards
motor control
ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to movement
to test
either closed/ predicatble envrionment
or open/ unpredicatable
lumbo-pelvic control
ability of the system to control areas, to achieve optimal performance and avoid injury
how to control lumbo-pelvic region
passive sub system
= spinal colum= joints/ bones/ orientation
active sub system
= muscles how they work to control
neural system
=how central nervous system intergrates all information from sensory to then send motor signals
local muscles
insert onto vertebral collumn and these has segmental control
-provide stability
-optimise postual control
-work in background at all time- control movments between segments= shear
-minimal torque
-
INDEPENDENT CONTROL- don’t need to recruit already activate
global muscles
insert onto pelvis or rib cage
control spinal orientation
one joint global muscles
predominantly responsible for joint support/ protection
multi joint global muscles
responsible for joint movement
torque producer
under high load
under high speed
recruited as required
phasic activation
multi global joint muscles
turn on and off as recruited
type 2 B
tonic activation
local muscles
constant activation
type 1 fibres
types of local stabiliser
transverse abdominals
multifidus
diaphragm
pelvic floor
type of multi global muscles
erector spinae
obliques
rectus abdominals
quadratus lumborum
lat dorsi
psoas major
assess trunk strength and endurance
manual muscle testing to assess trunk muscle strength
functional tests to assess trunk muscle endurance, and
tests for trunk muscle control using a pressure biofeedback.
