Motor Control Study Guide Flashcards
motor control def:
ability to regulate and direct mechanisms essential to movement
- control of movement already acquired
tone
resistance of a muscle to elongation or stretch
levels of tone:
flaccid: no tone
hypotonic: low tone
normal
spasticity: abnormal tone
rigid: extreme tone
what are the ranges for the modifed ashworth scale?
0 1 1+ 2 3 4 9
what is a 9 on the modified ashworth scale:
unable to test
what is a 0 in the modified ashworth scale:
no increased in muscle tone
so on the MAS you can assume a 0 would present what tone and a 9 would present what tone?
0 = flaccid 9 = rigidity
coordination def:
ability to produce controlled purposeful movements
problems that occur with coordination:
syngery : can’t isolate bc working as group
coactivation: the atognist and antagonist working at same time
timing problems:
incoordination def:
extraneous, uneven or inaccurate movement
incoordination is cuased by :
trauma to muscles or peripheral nerve damage
motor learning def:
the study of acquisition and/or modification of movement
motor learning is associated with what two things?
practice and experience
what does motor learning led to?
permanent change in behavior or capacity to respond
difference between motor learning and motor control
motor control = already acquired
motor learning = how we acquired it
in what three moments does motor learning occur:
in normal development (lil baby fetus)
after pathology (lil boo boo)
in novel situations (like wtf happened)
motor learning requires what :
practice and feedback
what are the three stages of motor learning?
cognitive - loss attention
associative - finer attention
autonomic - no need to attend to
what are four factors influencing motor learning:
feedback
practice
stages
type of task
difference between training and learning:
training = temporary
- provides solution to problem
learning = permanent
- you find solution to problem
concurrent feedback
feedback during the movement
terminal feedback
feedback at the end of the movement
intrinsic feedback
feedback from individuals sensory system
extrinsic feedback
feedback from environment aka therapist biofeedback
