1
Q

What are the 3 key elements for treatments?

Q

How are we able to enhance performance for compensation training?

A
  • breaking big sequences into component parts
  • attention (!!!)

Q

What are some visual cues used to help with gait?

A

Theres improvements when visual cues are given like:
- lines on the floor (static)
- inverted cane (dynamic = transportable cues)

these all help ↑ velocity and stride length

Q

What occurs in the brain when there is problems of the sensory-motor processing?

A

the caudate integrates the sensory information –> ↑ attention to the most relevant stimuli needed for the action

theres a sensory overload if theres too much things going on
