Therapeutic exercise program should be..
individualized
Safety is a fundamental consideration
- safety of the patient
- safety of the therapist
Factors influencing patient safety during exercise:
- health history
- current health status
- tolerance to physical exertion
- medications
- environments
- accuracy in which the exercises are performed
What are the three types of motor tasks?
- discrete
- serial
- continuous
Discrete
has a recognizable being and end quad set push up kicking a ball locking a wheelchair
Serial
Made up of a series of discrete movements combined in a particular sequence
eating with a fork
wheelchair transfer
getting dressed
Continuous
Repetitive, uninterrupted movements that have no distinct beginning or ending
walking
ascending or descending stair
cycling
What are the stages of motor learning?
cognitive
associative
autonomous
What is the cognitive stage?
figuring out what to do
learning the goal or purpose & the requirements of the exercise or functional task
learning how to do the motor task safely & correctly
frequent feedback is needed
skilled therapy needed at this level
What is the associative stage?
Patient concentrates on fine-tuning the motor task
Typically makes infrequent errors
Focused on consistency and efficiency
Time and distances moved are refined
Slight variations and modification s are explored
Patient begins to use problem solving to correct errors
Infrequent feedback is required
trying to move patient to independent, but therapist is still there as safety blanket
What is the autonomous stage?
Movements are automatic
Patient does not have to pay attention to the movements of the task
Patient is able to perform tasks simultaneously
Easily adapts to variations in task demands
Little to no instruction needed
What variables affect motor learning?
Patient’s understanding of the purpose of the exercise
Patient’s interest in the exercise
Patient’s attention to the task at hand
Patient’s attention during the pre-practice verbal instructions
Patient’s observation of the task being performed by the therapist correctly
Type and timing of feedback
What is PROM?
movement of a segment within the unrestricted ROM that is produced entirely by an external force
truly passive and relaxed ROM
