Exam 2- Motor control Flashcards
3 stages for motor
~motor control
~motor learning
~motor development
Motor Control
~The ability to regulate the mechanisms of movement
~The ability to maintain and change posture and movement
~Is the results of neurological and mechanical processes
Motor Learning
~The process that bring about the change in motor performance as a result of practice and experience
~Control will become learning
Motor Development
~Learning will become development
~Athletes have developed things
~Walking, rolling over, sit to stand, etc have been learned to develop over our years
**If a person has a stroke, that person has to relearn it (start over)
**Have to relearn the motor side again even though they know what it is like to do these tasks
How long does motor control last?
milliseconds
How long will it take to get motor learning?
hours, days, weeks depending on what you are learning
How long to get to motor development?
Takes months, years, decades
What are the 3 major categories of movement?
~individual
~task
~environment
*Bringman liked this
What are the 3 subcategories of Individual?
~Action
~Perception
~Cognition
Details on action of individual
~The specific task that you do; how the individual actually moves
~How do we do this task; what muscle do we use
Detail on perception of individual
~The sensory input the person is receiving while doing the movement
~How much input do we use- how much force for writing; etc
Details on cognition of individual
~Why are they doing it; reasoning behind the task
~How much attention are they giving to the task
~Emotions/ motivations- why are they doing the task (walking their child down the aisle)
What are the 3 subcategories of Task?
~mobility
~stability
~manipulation
Details on mobility of task
is the person mobile enough to do this task (ROM)
Details on stability of task
are you stable enough to do the task
Details on manipulation of task
~As other demands are applied to the task, is the person able to adjust to the task
~The ability to react and maintain
What are the 4 subcategories of Environment?
~regulatory
~non-regulatory
~predictable
~non-predictable
details on regulatory of environment
~Your task must conform to the env
~Walking a flat surface- staying on that surface (or staying in bounds at a basketball game)
details on non-regulatory of environment
~When there are outside forces that can cause a distraction
~All the distractions (fans distracting during a free throw; a person talking to you while walk)
details on predictable of environment
the env is always constant
details on non-predictable of environment
the env is not always constant
what are the 3 theories that were talked about?
~reflex
~top down
~systems
Details on reflex theory
~Complex movements can be explained by series ind reflex that causes movements
~Can be explained by stimuli
~Doesn’t give you top down control- just reflexive movements
~Doesn’t explain new movements
~If every time we touch something hot, we would jump back-reflex (But we can override a reflex)
Details on top down theory
~Another name is Hierarchical
~We have primitive reflexes and then we incorporate them
~We give all actions to the brain
~This would mean everything would have to go to the brain
~However, we still have reflexes that just enter the spine and cause an immediate response (When you step on a pin, just in the spine)
