Question 1

What is performance?

Answer 1

Act of executing a motor skill that results in a temporary, non permanent change (freezing water can turn back to liquid)

Question 2

What is motor learning?

Answer 2

Permanent change in ability to execute a motor skill (boiling an egg)

Question 3

What 3 things do you need to have true motor learning?

Answer 3

Consistency, flexibility, and efficiency

Question 4

What is consistency?

Answer 4

An individual able to perform a task consistently over a period of trials

Question 5

What is flexibility?

Answer 5

Ability to adapt and modify task performance based on changing environments (transferability)

Question 6

What is efficiency?

Answer 6

Capabilities of the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems (is fatigue happening)

Question 7

Neuronal recovery

Answer 7

Restoring function in neural tissue that was lost after injury

Question 8

Neuronal compensation

Answer 8

Neural tissue gets a function that it did not have prior to injury

Question 9

Performance recovery

Answer 9

Restoring the ability to perform a movement in the same manner as it was before injury

Question 10

Performance compensation

Answer 10

Performing an old movement in a new manner

Question 11

Functional recovery

Answer 11

Successful task accomplishment using limbs

Question 12

Functional compensation

Answer 12

Successful task accomplishment using alternate limbs (opening bag of chips with one arm and mouth)

Question 13

What are the 4 neurofacilitation approaches?

Answer 13

Margaret Rood

Brunnstrom

Neuro-developmental treatment

PNF

Question 14

What occurs in the Margaret Rood approach?

Answer 14

Sensory stimulation techniques

Motor development

Question 15

What occurs in the brunnstrom approach?

Answer 15

Stages of motor recovery

Synergies

Question 16

What occurs in the neuro-developmental treatment (NDT) approach?

Answer 16

Quality of movement

Postural control (sensory feedback)

Task specific (optimize function)

Question 17

What occurs in the PNF approach?

Answer 17

Procedures (manual contacts)

Movement patterns (D1/D2)

Techniques (rhythmic initiation, contract/relax)

Question 18

What are the 3 task oriented approaches?

Answer 18

Motor relearning program

Constraint induced movement

Locomotor training

Question 19

What are the steps of the motor relearning program?

Answer 19

Analysis of the task

Practice missing components

Practice task with feedback

Vary environment

Question 20

What occurs in the constraint induced movement?

Answer 20

Address learned non use (force use- strapping down good hand)

Question 21

What occurs in locomotor training?

Answer 21

Body weight support

Whole task training (loading through LEs, focus on speed)
