Neurological FORs (8.31)(9.02) Flashcards

1
Q

Name the traditional concepts of the Neurological motor control FORs

A
  • Reflexes occur in response to stimuli
    ex: palmar grasp in babies.
  • Hierarchical control and motor programming–movements are controlled top-down
  • Motor control is Cephalocaudal and Proximodistal–head to tail & trunk->out
  • The brain is plastic
