Q
what are the 3 components affecting MC
A
- individual
- environment
- task
2
Q
what are the 3 phases of motor learning
A
- cognitive
- associative
- autonomous
3
Q
What is cognitive learning phase
A
- Learners understand the nature of task
- Development of strategy on how to do the task
- High level of attention needed
4
Q
What’s the associative stage of learning
A
- Best strategy for the task selected
- Skill refinement begins
- Less variability in performance
- Focus on selected pattern refinement
5
Q
What’s the autonomous stage of learning
A
- Low degree of attention needed
- Focus on aspect such as environment and dual task (talking + skill)
6
Q
What factors contribute to motor learning
A
- Intrinsic feedback - from internal sensory system
- Extrinsic feedback - from external sources
- Knowledge of results - terminal feedback about outcome of movement goal
7
Q
What are the types of practice for motor learning
A
- Variable practice - different situations and contexts
- Contextual practice - application to real world scenarios
- Whole vs part practice
- Transferring training or environment to build upon
- Mental practice
8
Q
What’s a compensatory movement
A
alternative motor pattern to achieve goal/perform task wen normal movement isn’t available/effective
9
Q
When should normal or compensatory movement be taught
A
- Acute patients - aim for normal where possible
- Chronic patients - if normal retraining hasn’t worked, consider compensatory
10
Q
What changes can be made in environmental that will affect motor control
A
- inside vs outside
- light vs dark
- even vs uneven floor
- distance from support
- parallel bars
11
Q
What’s the benefits of strength exercise for motor control
A
- No increase in spasticity
- Increase muscular strength
- Improves activity level
12
Q
What’s the benefits of aerobic exercise for motor control
A
- Maintain CV fitness
- Improve overall wellbeing - endorphins
- Can be hard to achieve with pts
