ADDRESSING FACTORS INFLUENCING THE HABILITATION AND REHABILITATION OF MOTOR CONTROL ALONG A FUNCTIONAL CONTINUUM

• The Individual
  • Action
    • Degrees of freedom problem
    • Phase shifts
    • Feedback and feedforward mechanisms
    • Neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and cardiopulmonary
    • Motor maps and plasticity
    • Lab: Physical handling techniques to promote stability, mobility, and fine motor skills
  • Perception
    • Integration of the senses and development of mindfulness
    • Body image, body scheme, and position in space
    • Emotion and the development of “flow”
    • Lab: Design interventions to facilitate increased awareness of body scheme, the orienting response, and awareness of the spatial envelope
  • Cognition
    • Intention, attention, anticipation
    • Timing and rhythm
    • Effects of mental practice
    • Lab: Using music and rhythm to influence enhanced motor control

• The Task: Activity analysis along a functional continuum

Description:

This course will guide clinicians through the development of treatment approaches that integrate multiple perspectives of motor control and learning. The three major factors of motor learning – environmental conditions, cognitive processes, and movement organization through multisensory integration – will be applied to guide motor learning techniques. Design interventions that use the evidence to support greater retention and learning that is realized by patients as enhanced functional mobility. Hands-on experiences will allow you to collaborate on development of effective, holistic interventions that promote optimal function and skills.
