Traditional Motor Control Theories Flashcards
Motor Control theory
Focus on factors that affect movement: client factors, body functions/structures, tone, postural control, coordination
Factors of Coordination
precision/accuracy, smoothness, appropriate force/muscle tension, rhythm, speed, # of muscle groups used
Motor Learning theory
target long term acquisition, retention, and transfer/generalizability of activity - combination of appropriate practice and feedback
Stages of learning
cognitive stage (gather info, slow w/errors), associative stage (distinguish between correct and error, attending to finer details), autonomous stage (skill is automatic, w/stable performance)
Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT)
focus - inhibit/eliminate abnormal/primitive patterns, normalize postural tone, promote active control of movement, normalize sensory/perceptual experience
NDT origin
Berta and Karel Bobath, 1940s - kids w/CP, adults w/hemiplegia
Rood
Uses sensory stimulation/facilitatory techniques to elicit motor responses/increase tone and excitation
use tactile stimuli, proprioceptive stimuli, and inhibitory techniques
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
mass movement patterns (spirals/diagonals) resemble functional movements - use auditory cues, positioning of self/objects, and manual contacts to improve motor learning
UE D1
E - shoulder extend/abduct by hip
F - shoulder flex/adduct across midline
UE D2
E - shoulder extend/adduct across midline to opposite hip
F - shoulder flexed/abduct above shoulder
BS D1 E
Bilateral Symmetrical D1E - push off chair to stand
BS D2 E
Bilateral Symmetriacl D2E - take off sweater from waist
BS D2 F
Bilateral Symmetrical D2F - lift large item off high shelf
Brunnstrom’s movement therapy
facilitate recovery by using ‘development in reverse’ reflexes, proprioceptive stimuli
Brunnstrom’s sequence of recovery
Gross mass motor patterns -> movements combining 2 patterns -> isolated voluntary control
