Q

The benefit of performance measure is that they can provide information about:

A
  • muscular activity
  • limb interaction before/during/ and after a skill
  • nervous system function
20
Q

3 performance production measures are:

A
  1. biomechanical measures
  2. electromyography (EMG)
  3. Brain activity
21
Q

Biomechanical measures involve:

A

kinematics –> movement

and kinetics –>force

22
Q

Kinematics involve:

A
  • displacement (spatial position)
  • velocity (speed)
  • acceleration (change in velocity)
  • joint angle / limb position
23
Q

kinetics involve:

A
  • joint torque (force * distance)

* ground reaction forces

24
Q

Electromyography (EMG) involves timing of onset of __________ activation, muscle timing ______________ and relative _____________.

A

onset of MUSCLE activation, muscle timing COORDINATION, and RELATIVE activation

25
Q

Brain activity can be recorded by:

A
  • fMRI
  • EEG
  • positron emission tomography (PET)
  • rCBF
26
Q

Error measurement =

A

nearly all skilled task performance requires some level of task accuracy

27
Q

Evaluation of pt performance relative to the goals of task mastery is crucial to document progress towards and achievement of:

A

goals in the medical record

28
Q

Error measurement can reveal patterns of change in performance to customize:

A

interventions

29
Q

Name the 3 types of error measurement?

A
  1. Absolute error (AE)
  2. Constant error (CE)
  3. Variable error (VE)
30
Q

absolute error is defined as =

A

average difference between the measured value and the criterion value over a given number of trials

31
Q

Absolute error =

A

criterion score minus actual score (regardless of direction or algebraic sign)

(criterion score - actual score) = Xn

AE = IX1I + IX2I + IX3I + … / #trials

32
Q

constant error (CE) =

A

average error over a given number of trials

33
Q

Constant error is based on both:

A

magnitude and direction

34
Q

Constant error provides a measure or response:

A

bias

35
Q

(45, 40, 35, 35, 30) –> (+5, +0, -5, -5 ,-10) ; Mean CE =

A

mean CE = (-15)/5 = -3

36
Q

Variable error (VE) =

A

measure of consistency or response, not the amount of erro

37
Q

Variable error is calculated as the standard deviation of error around an individual’s:

A

average performance

38
Q

Retention =

A

measures persistence or relative performance of performance improvement

39
Q

The assessment of performance of the same skill under the _____________________ over time

A

same conditions

40
Q

Retention involves a skill that is retested after a period of no practice with no:

A

feeback

41
Q

Retention reflects the strength of the _______________________ representation created during the learning process

A

motor memory

42
Q

Transfer =

A

measures the adaptability of a skill under different conditions

43
Q

transfer of novel contexts =

A

physical environment or feedback changes

44
Q

transfer of novel skill variation=

A

fast vs slow, different object manipulation

45
Q

Transfer gives information about the extent to which a learner may perform in a _____________________.

A

different situation

46
Q

Transfer reflects the _________________ of the motor memory.

A

flexibility

47
Q

Transfer is important when skill learned must be performed:

A

across a variety of conditions
