Module 1 chapter 1

Question 1

A goal to achieve or action goal
Performed voluntarily
Requires body, head, and or limb movement
Must be learned or relearned

Answer 1

Motor skill

Question 2

Can you see motor control?
Can you see motor learning?

Answer 2

No. But you can see performance ;)

Question 3

How to people get motor skills?

Answer 3

Motor learning?

Question 4

Focus on acquisition, performance enhancement, reacquisition of skills after injury or disease (acquisition means learning)

Answer 4

Motor learning

Question 5

What variables might promote or inhibit acquisition?

Answer 5

The person, the skill, the performance environment

Question 6

Changes in behavior and neural components must occur for this, also must consider the variables that promote or inhibit the acquisition of these skills….

Answer 6

Motor learning

Question 7

How the neuromuscular system functions to activate and coordinate muscles and limbs to perform a motor skill

Answer 7

Motor control

Question 8

How movement changes over time, motor control and learning as they relate to development throughout the lifespan, how growth and maturation influence behavior

Answer 8

Motor development

Question 9

Specific purpose or goal to achieve (known as the action goal)

Answer 9

Skills

Question 10

Motor skills include

Answer 10

Movement

Question 11

Cognitive skills required…

Answer 11

Mental activity

Question 12

Specific patterns of motion among joints and body segments

Answer 12

Movements

Question 13

Mechanics in CNS and PNS as well as the muscular system that underlie the control of movements

Answer 13

Neuromotor processes

Question 14

Why is this stuff relevant to PT?

Answer 14

Someone may have to relearn a movement and the way that person moves may be difference now
Movement adaptations to achieve a goal
We will evaluate motor skill performance

Question 15

Movement is the function of the interaction of 3 elements

Answer 15

The learner, the task, the environment
Learner (experiences, motivation, ability)
Task (object manipulation needed? Body movements required)
The environment (predictability, time limitations)

Question 16

A relatively permanent change in a persons ability to execute a motor skill as a result of practice or experience doing the skill

Answer 16

LEARNING

Question 17

Goal oriented
Body and limb movements required to accomplish a goal
Voluntary
Must be learned or re learned

Answer 17

Motor skill

Question 18

Motor skills can be reflexes, T or R

Answer 18

False

Question 19

Classification of movement, the one dimensional system

Answer 19

On spectrums
Size of mm
When actions begin or end, specificity
Stability of the environment

Question 20

Size of primary musculature

Answer 20

Fine vs gross

Question 21

Distinctiveness of movements

Answer 21

Discrete <> serial (sequential) <> continuous

Question 22

Predictability of the environment , one dimension

Answer 22

Closed skill <> open skill

Question 23

Performer starts the action
Environment is stable and does not change from trial to trial

Answer 23

Closed skill predictability

Question 24

Performer must act according to the actions of the skill
Performer must act according to the actions of the changing environment

Answer 24

Open skill

Question 25

Refers to The object the person is acting on or to the characteristics of the context in which the person performs the skill

Answer 25

Environment

Question 26

Classification of movement, gentiles multidimensional system

Answer 26

16 skill categories classifying motor skills based on 2 general characteristics
Environmental context
Function of the action

Purposes
Identify movement problems (PT assessment)
Select and progress appropriate interventions (PT treatment)
Chart progress (assessment )

Question 27

Gentiles, 2 environmental demands

Answer 27

Regulatory conditions (support surface, objects, other people) of environmental context to which movements must conform to achieve goal
Intertrial variability

Question 28

Gentiles, 2 function of action aspects

Answer 28

Body orientation
Object manipulation

Question 29

Gentiles multidimensional system model

Answer 29

1. Stationary with no inter-trial
2. Stationary with inter-trial
3. in motion with no inter-trial
4. In motion with inter-trial

These plus,
Body stability with/or without object
body transport with/or without object
(See graph!!!)

Question 30

Practical application of gentiles model

Answer 30

1. Closed skill, stationary, no inter trial
2. Closed skill, stationary, inter trial
3. Open skill, in motion, no inter trial
4. Open skill, in motion, inter trial
