Motor Learning & Motor Control Flashcards
Ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to movement
Motor Control
An area of study dealing with the understanding of the neural, physical, mechanical and behavioral aspects of movement
Motor Control
(When u move di lang naman sya one aspect syempre nag-iisip ka rin→ neural, physical body, and behavioral aspects of how you do it)
How our neuromuscular system functions to activate and coordinate the muscles and limbs involved in the performance of a motor skill.
Motor Control
● Kung di mo naman siya ma coordinate ng
maayos, nonsense din kasi di mo naman ma
control yung movement mo
● You need to have a good motor control to be
able to do the types of movement u want
● Anything u do without coordination is magulo
adaptability of the brain to re-organize itself and adapt to a certain activity
(e.g. nagka brian injury – there is still a way to
recover)
Neuroplasticity
Relearning of a movement - New technology taps on neuroplasticity - Hindi porket neuro problem nung patient, dun lang mag a-apply yung neuroplasticity, motor learning and motor contro
How does motor control work?
- The task that needs to be completed is identified →
body gathers sensory info from environment (afferent) → perceives info → chooses a movement plan
appropriate plan to meet the goal of the task
E.g. may sunog, you have to move away from that - Plan is coordinated w/in CNS → executed through
motor neurons in the brain and SC → outcome
communicated to the muscles in postural and limb synergies, and in the head and neck (efferent)→ motor units timed to fire in a specific manner - Sensory feedback supplied to the CNS by the movement → decision taken to (1) modify the plan during execution, (2) acknowledge the goal of the task to be achieved, and (3) store the information for future performance of the same task-goal combination
(- Can you modify the plan during execution? It
depends sa situation, may kailangan ka ba
i-modify or hindi.
- You have to store for future references para
makita mo if may mali or tama. If may mali,
you use that knowledge to correct yung mali
mo sa movement)
STAGES OF MOTOR CONTROL
➔ Mobility:
➔ Stability:
➔ Controlled mobility:
➔ Skill:
What is a functional range through which to move and
the ability to sustain active movement through range
➔ Mobility:
◆ E.g. do supine to sit, and sit to stand (one posture
to another)
ability to maintain a posture c orientation of
COM over BOS and the body held steady
➔ Stability:
Also called, Static postural control
➔ Stability:
the ability to move w/in jts and between limbs following the optimal path of instant center of rotation (PICR)
➔ Controlled mobility:
◆ E.g. weight shifting or maintaining a posture c
challenges (may pinapagawa while standing), or
balance – single leg balance.
◆ Also called Dynamic Postural control
➔ Controlled mobility:
7 THEORIES OF MOTOR CONTROL
REFLEX THEORY
DYNAMIC SYSTEMS THEORY
HIERARCHICAL THEORY
MOTOR PROGRAM THEORY
ECOLOGICAL THEORY
SYSTEMS MODEL
➔ The afferent-efferent interaction lang
➔ Movement is initiated and withdraw upon by a certain
stimulus
➔ A reaction is equated to an action – kung ano nararamdaman mo, you’ll react to it
◆ You react to the stimuli around you
➔ You use sensory input to stimulate you to move
➔ Relies heavily on feedback
(Kidlat - stimulus → afferent → efferent)
REFLEX THEORY
➔ Turvey - you move to your adaptation in the environment
◆ Movement is affected by multiple elements,
environment. How things react to you and
how you react to things
DYNAMIC SYSTEMS THEORY
◆ E.g. pag mahina yung katawan → sa sit and
stand pag ginamit ng pt yung momentum for
standing up, mas madadalian siya tumayo,
compared pag stable siya tas papatayuin mo
siya nng upright.
◆ Kunin yung momentum mas madali siya
makakatayo kaysa na bigla mo siya
papatayuin
➔ From the brain going to the mm, up to the movement
➔ Voluntary movements initiated by will
➔ Reflex movements pag nagkakaroon ka ng CNS disorder
HIERARCHICAL THEORY
➔ Kailangan coordinated ang movement
➔ Nakaprogram dapat lahat ng movement mo
➔ May ayos dapat yun kung pano yung gagawin na
movement
➔ Kailangan tama yung coordinated movement → teach
pt na ma re-learn yung right pattern of movement
➔ E.g. kailangan matuto ung biceps na mag work siya
kahit walang ibang mm grp, to complete a certain movement. Then after niya matuto na siya lang, teach
it na mag coordinate c other mm groups, to achieve
certain tasks
MOTOR PROGRAM THEORY
➔ We react to it, kung anong na pperceive natin sa environment natin
ECOLOGICAL THEORY
◆ Help pt explore multiple ways to achieve certain tasks
◆ E.g. give orthosis/ ambulatory AIDS to help
them do certain tasks
Identifiable functional task and practice under a variety
of conditions
◆ You’ll challenge the pt
◆ We cannot control what is happening around us, so teach the pt how to react in different environments
◆ Remember our goal as PT is to restore the
quality of life of the pt. What is the sense
kung di pa rin magagawa ng pt ung dati niya
pang ginagawa?
SYSTEMS MODEL
- a unique set of characteristics
that defines a Generalized motor program (GMP) and does not vary from one
performance of the action to another
➔ Invariant features
a memory representation that stores info needed to perform an action
➔ Motor program -
the memory representation of a class of actions that share common invariant characteristics
➔ Generalized motor program (GMP) -
◆ Provides basis for controlling a specific
action w/in class of actions
features of the GMP that can be varied
from one performance of a skill to another; The
features of a skill that must be added to the invariant
features of a GMP before a person can perform a skill
to meet the specific movement demands of a situation
➔ Parameters -
the proportion or percentage, of the
total amount of time required by each component of a
skill during performance of that skill
➔ Relative Time -
➔ A complex process that requires spatial, temporal, and
hierarchical organization w/in CNS that allows for
acquisition and modification of movement
MOTOR LEARNING
◆ In our environment, you need to adapt, kaya
it’s our goal to train our pt in certain kinds of
environments kung saan they will face
challenges. Appropriate lalo na sa mga pts c
Neuro d/o, how will they react/act to that
when faced to that certain environment?
➔ A change in the capability of a person to perform a
skill that must be inferred from a relatively permanent
improvement in performance as a result of practice or
experience
MOTOR LEARNING
◆ Practicing to master that movement –
inuulit-ulit mo ung movement. Sa una marami
kang mali, then you practice, you learn from
your errors → trial and error → then you
adjust to that kasi na s-store siya ng utak
niyo.
➔ ____abilities among individuals vary across
three main foundational categories of abilities:
cognitive abilities, perceptual speed ability, and
psychomotor ability
MOTOR LEARNING
● Observable behavior ● Temporary ● May not be d/t practice ● May be influenced by performance variables
Performance
● Inferred from performance ● Relatively permanent ● You learn d/t practice ● Not influenced by performance variables
Learning
THE FITTS AND POSNER 3 STAGE MODEL
Cognitive stage Associative stage Autonomous stage
➔ ____of learning, the beginner focuses on
cognitively oriented problems related to what to do and how to do it
Cognitive stage
➔ Performance during this stage is marked by numerous
errors, errors tend to be large ones
Cognitive stage
➔ Performance during this stage also is highly variable
and showing a lack of consistency from one attempt to
the next
Cognitive stage
◆ Still in the process of trial and error
◆ E.g. beginners ask what are my objectives?
What is the best way to hold an object?
Where should this arm be during reaching?
➔ The refining stage
Associative stage of learning
➔ The transition into this stage occurs after an unspecified amount of practice and performance
improvement
Associative stage of learning
➔ The cognitive activity that characterized the cognitive
stage changes at this stage, because the person now
attempts to associate specific environmental cues with
the movements required to achieve the goal of the
skill.
Associative stage of learning
◆ Di lang sya sa isip nag rrely kahit sa
environmental cues nag rrely siya (visual,
auditory)
➔ The person makes fewer and smaller errors since
he/she has acquired the basic fundamentals of the
skill, although room for improvement is still available
Associative stage of learning
➔ Person focuses on how to perform the task
successfully and kung paano siya magiging consistent
sa movement niya
➔ Skill has become automatic or habitual
Autonomous stage of learning
➔ People in this stage don’t consciously think about their
movements while performing the skill, bec they can
perform it w/o conscious thought
Autonomous stage of learning
➔ Fitts and Posner pointed out the likelihood that not
every person learning a skill will reach this
autonomous stage.
➔ Sobrang galing mo na sa isang movement, kaya mo
na gawin yung isang movement
