DNS Exercise 1 Flashcards
what is cortical control
process of motor learning
cerebral cortex
what is subcortical control
learned and fixed programs (ingrained)
cerebellum and basal ganglia
what determines ideal posture
genetic physiological development
postural control and function depends on
quality of motor control during development
what is optimal development movements consist of
all joints in the system are centrated during developmental movements
what is a centrated joint
A centrated joint has the greatest interosseous
contact to allow for optimal load transference
across the joint and along the kinetic chain.
what does joint centration allow for
max muscle pull and performance
decrease instability and injury
stabilization of the sagittal plane occurs when
first 4.5 months
what muscles regulate intra-abdominal pressure
diaphragm
pelvic floor
abdominal muscles
multifidi
what are the 3 functions of the diaphragm
respiration
stabilization
sphincter
breathing and stabilizing are co-dependent
respiration and stability created by the diaphragm occurs at
6 months
what is the ideal respiration pattern
upper ribs - expand in ventral direction
lower ribs - expand in lateral directions
sternum - stable
movement occurs at SC joint
AC joint movement is not adequate
if breathing is not normalized then no other movement pattern can be
karel lewit
what is open scissors syndrome
flaring of the ribs upward
anterior pelvic tilt
erectors cranked on
extremity function differentiation within global patterns occurs when
after 4.5 months
