Module 1 chapter 1 Flashcards
A goal to achieve or action goal
Performed voluntarily
Requires body, head, and or limb movement
Must be learned or relearned
Motor skill
Can you see motor control?
Can you see motor learning?
No. But you can see performance ;)
How to people get motor skills?
Motor learning?
Focus on acquisition, performance enhancement, reacquisition of skills after injury or disease (acquisition means learning)
Motor learning
What variables might promote or inhibit acquisition?
The person, the skill, the performance environment
Changes in behavior and neural components must occur for this, also must consider the variables that promote or inhibit the acquisition of these skills….
Motor learning
How the neuromuscular system functions to activate and coordinate muscles and limbs to perform a motor skill
Motor control
How movement changes over time, motor control and learning as they relate to development throughout the lifespan, how growth and maturation influence behavior
Motor development
Specific purpose or goal to achieve (known as the action goal)
Skills
Motor skills include
Movement
Cognitive skills required…
Mental activity
Specific patterns of motion among joints and body segments
Movements
Mechanics in CNS and PNS as well as the muscular system that underlie the control of movements
Neuromotor processes
Why is this stuff relevant to PT?
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
Movement is the function of the interaction of 3 elements
The learner, the task, the environment
Learner (experiences, motivation, ability)
Task (object manipulation needed? Body movements required)
The environment (predictability, time limitations)
A relatively permanent change in a persons ability to execute a motor skill as a result of practice or experience doing the skill
LEARNING
Goal oriented
Body and limb movements required to accomplish a goal
Voluntary
Must be learned or re learned
Motor skill
Motor skills can be reflexes, T or R
False
Classification of movement, the one dimensional system
On spectrums
Size of mm
When actions begin or end, specificity
Stability of the environment
Size of primary musculature
Fine vs gross
Distinctiveness of movements
Discrete <> serial (sequential) <> continuous
Predictability of the environment , one dimension
Closed skill <> open skill
Performer starts the action
Environment is stable and does not change from trial to trial
Closed skill predictability
Performer must act according to the actions of the skill
Performer must act according to the actions of the changing environment
Open skill
