Exam 3: Motor Relearning Program Flashcards
What is MRP?
The newest rehabilitation approached based on movement science theory and research
What pt population was MRP originally developed for?
Stroke
What style of approach is MRP?
Task Oriented
What four theories/principles is MRP based on?
- Dynamic Systems Theory of Motor Control
- Principles of Plasticity
- Motor Learning Theories
- Biomechanics
How is movement produced through the lens of the Dynamic Systems Theory?
Interaction within the person, task, and environment. Is a non-linear process
What is plasticity?
The ability of the CNS to adapt and reorganize
How does plasticity occur in an intact brain?
Through learning
How does plasticity occur in a lesioned brain?
Spontaneously and through reorganization. Recovery of function
What is a task-oriented approach to treatment, and what approaches does it emerge from?
Use of functional tasks to target neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems to acquire and re-acquire behaviors. Emerged from dynamic systems and motor learning theories
When will re-learning occur according to MRP?
With opportunities for extensive, meaningful, and task oriented training in a stimulating environment
What are the four key components of MRP?
- Early initiation
- Rehab environment
- Motivation
- Education and consistency
What primary method is MRP based on?
Task analysis
What three components should be included when structuring interventions with MRP?
- Task oriented exercise
- Restoration of optimal functional performance
- Opportunities for practice
What were the original 7 “critical actions” with MRP?
- UE function
- Oral-facial function
- Motor tasks in sitting
- Motor tasks in standing
- Standing up
- Sitting down
- Walking
What are the current four “critical actions” of MRP?
- Standing up and sitting down
- Walking
- Reaching and manipulation
- Balance
