L2 Movement Analysis Flashcards
Task analysis
critical events that need to occur in the optimal execution of a task
Movement analysis
identifying the errors and inefficiencies of a movement as compared to the task analysis
Hypotheses
the student’s hypothesized impairments leading to the movement errors observed
Critical Events
the key biomechanical components to successfully complete the task. Center of mass relative to base of support, joint angles
Efficient
did the pt complete the movement in an energy efficient manner
Accurate
was the movement completed as you would have expected based on task analysis
Reproducible
can the patient perform the task multiple times without variation
Adaptable
can the patient perform the task in different environments or conditions
What is the purpose of a movement analysis?
determine if an action is effective and efficient
Cycle of Neuro Exam
Observe the patient
Determine impairments and functional limitations
Confirm and measure
Identify participation limitation
Implement interventions
What info can we gather from a movement analysis?
Primary impairments
Secondary impairments
Primary impairments
S/S that are a direct result of the patients disease or pathology
ex: RCT–> pain, weakness
Secondary Impairments
abnormal changes in the structure or function of a given system that may occur as a consequence of the patients’ initial pathology and related impairments and/or as a result overtime of some other type of influence, such as aging or lifestyle choices
Ex: RCT–> decreased PROM
Intrinsic Constraints
Biomechanical
Psychological
Neuromuscular
Extrinsic Constraints
the spatial and temporal regulatory features of tasks and environments to which the patient must conform
