What are some performance outcome measures?

Answer 2

time to complete task
reaction time
distance covered
errors

measures performance of characteristics that produced the outcome

Answer 3

performance production measures

Question 4

what are some performance production measures?

Answer 4

velocity
acc.
jt. angle
force

tells how NS and muscular system are functioning

Question 5

What are the most commonly used measures ?

Answer 5

kinematics of movement.
outcomes of movement
muscle performance via EMG
visualizing brain function during motion

Question 6

description of pure motion without regard for forces and masses involved

Answer 6

kinematics

Question 7

What can kinematics be broken down into?

Answer 7

spatial and temporal components

Question 8

What are spatial properties?

Answer 8

path length
path shape (trajectory)
plane of movement
Distance Traveled

Question 9

what are Temporal properties

Answer 9

velocity during movement
jt. coordination
movement duration

Question 10

inability to produce motor planning on command

Answer 10

apraxia

Question 11

In spatial properties study, what was seen with pathway of control group vs apraxic group?

Answer 11

control: linear
apraxic: circular in frontal plane

Question 12

What does the circular pathway of the apraxic group in the spatial properties study tell us?

Answer 12

shoulder elbow and wrist not moving in organized manner

Question 13

What did pts do in the temporal properties study?

Answer 13

draw triangles

Question 14

What was found in the temporal property study?

Answer 14

velocity of movement was the same but hemiparetic group crosses zero more frequently in acceleration.

Question 15

what is significant about the hemiparetic group crossing zero more often?

Answer 15

it means the task may have taken longer

Question 16

what happened in the bread slicing study?

Answer 16

control group had linear velocity and apraxic group showed dissociation of inter-joint coordination

Question 17

what does giving apraxic pt both object and tool do?

Answer 17

it can ameliorate space to help eliminate apraxic movement. resulting in comparable results to control to accomplish task.

Question 18

has a defined start and end point

Answer 18

discrete task

what does it take into account?

Answer 19

constant error

direction

Answer 21

variable errors

Question 22

measures deviation and consistency

Answer 22

root mean square error

Question 23

what else does root mean square measure?

what can you create from it?

Answer 23

difference between target trajectory and actual trajectory over time

performance curve
