Error Flashcards
errorless learning
learning to perform task w/o error
acquisition may be quicker but retention and transfer may be poorer
error augmentation
correct an error so once can enhance error
motor adaptation
process of modifying or adjusting a movement from trial to trial based on error feedback
spatial neglect
failure to report, respond to, or orientate to contralesional stimuli - accompanied by functional disability
what can be used to fix spatial neglect
prisms can be used to augment error
if patient is neglecting the right side - prism can be used to shift vision to the left
gait asymmetry
stroke - individual will favor the stronger leg and have a longer step length on this side I
research on gait asymmetry
• 13 individuals with chronic stroke and resulting gait symmetries 15 minutes of split belt treadmill training, where the speed of paretic leg is changed
18 individuals with chronic stroke and resulting in gait asymmetries performed ten 20 minute sessions of unilateral step training – where the impaired limb is held stationary off of the treadmill
error augmentation can be used to enhance ….
error signal to promote changes to CNS - which can be retained for functional improvements
