Motor learning Flashcards
What is the goal of Ther ex?
Achieve optimal level of symptom free movement
Systematic, planned performance of bodily movements, postures, or physical activities
Therapeutic exercise
Ther ex allows patient to (4)
- Prevent impairment
- Increase function
- Reduce risk factors
- Optimize health
Ther ex addresses (3)
- Impairments
- Functional limitations
- Participation restrictions
Justifies HOW the intervention is doing what you want it to do
physiological justification
Justifies WHY the exercise should be done and WHY it is important
clinical justification
Pt takes info from memory, perception, sensation to influence motor patterns and make changes to the brain
new motor skill
process of registration, retention and recall of past experience
memory
Explicit memory of specific facts and events
declarative memory
recall of movements/motor info
motor/procedural memory
“repeat after me” memory
immediate memory
ability to sort and organize incoming sensory stimuli into meaningful data
perception
any sensory info the body is picking up. used to guide/alter movements currently happening
sensation
existing motor programs are modified and reassembled to form a new plan. Taking what we already know and making it fit a new task
motor plan
ability of the learner to demonstrate the skill over time after a period of no practice
retention
ability to apply a learned skill to learning other similar tasks. Throwing baseball ->throwing a baseball
generalizability
capacity of the brain to adapt to injury through mechanisms of repair and change
neuroplasticity
developmental task progression 1-4
- mobility 2. stability 3. controlled mobility 4. skill
ability to move from one position to another. Usually not full range, well sustained or coordinated.
Mobility
Examples of mobility
Rolling, supine, sit to stand
Mobility occurs in _______ positions
dependent
ability to maintain a steady position in a weight bearing, against gravity posture. Static postural control
Stability
What is an integral part of stability?
Prolonged holding (endurance)
What are examples of stability?
Prone on elbows POE, quad, sitting, standing
With stability COM must be…
within BOS
Types of controlled mobility (2)
- dynamic postural control
2. Static-Dynamic postural control
