quiz 5 (new book chp.6) Flashcards

1
Q

proprioception

A

The sensory system’s detection
and reception of movement and spatial position of limbs, trunk, and head
-sensory info is transmitted to the CNS (direction, velocity, location in space…)
-important source of feedback in closed loop control

-often used with the word “kinesthesis”

Q

deafferentation

A

the proprioceptive afferent pathways to the CNS that are no longer available

a procedure used to make proprioceptive feedback unavailable

Q

central vision

A

the middle 2 to 5 degrees of the visual field
-foveal vision
-Provides specific information to allow us to achieve action goals, e.g.
–For reaching and grasping an object
–For walking on a pathway

Q

peripheral vision

A

visual field outside the 2 to 5 degrees of central vision
-Provides info about the environmental context
and the moving limb(s)
-assesses optical flow patterns
(rays of light that strike the reitina)

16
Q

sensory neuropathy deafferentation

A

-large myelinated fibers of the limb are lost, leading to a loss of all sensory info of all sensory information except pain & temperature

17
Q

temporary deafferentation

A

nerve block technique used on humans (i.e. sleeping arm)

18
Q

tendon vibration technique

A

proprioceptive feedback is distorted instead of removed- involves high speed vibration of a tendon connected to a muscle that is an agonist

19
Q

what is the role of proprioceptive feedback?

A

-influences movement accuracy
-influences the timing of the onset of motor commands
-plays a role in coordination of body & limb segments

20
Q

what are three coordination characteristics

A
  1. postural control
  2. spatial-temporal coupling between limbs & limb segments
  3. adapting to movement situations that require the use of non-preffered coordination patterns
21
Q

what is our preferred source of sensory info?

22
Q

what are the techniques for investigating the role of vision in motor control

A

-eye movement recording
-temporal occlusion techniques
-event occlusion technique

23
Q

role of vision in motor contro

A
  1. monocular & binocular vision
  2. central & peripheral vision
  3. perception- action coupling
  4. amount of time needed for corrections
  5. time to contact
24
Q

vision for perception is….

A

peripheral vision

25
Q

vision for action is….

A

central vision
