CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
1. Why is studying neuromuscular function important?
Answer:
- Development (age, changes in body)
- Disease & Disability (different diseases affect the body's ability)
- Performance (manipulate nervous system to do movement better
Question:
2. 5 Origins of Disability
Answer:
1. societal limitations
- job loss
- inability to play sport
2. disability
- decreased function
3. functional limitations
- gait
- landing
- cutting
4. impairments
- strength
- activation
5. pathophysiology
- neural excitability
Question:
3. What are the sub-disciplines of the two areas in motor control and learning?
Answer:
1. neurophysiology
2. psychology
Question:
4. Historical Perspectives
Answer:
Mucg of the body of knowledge and growth of the field due to effects of WWII
- determination of individual best suited for combat
- equipment design
Question:
5. Motor Control
,Answer:
study of how the neuromuscular system initiates and coordinates muscle activity to produce movement
- structure/anatomy used to produce movement
- organization, coordination, initiation, and regulation by the central nervous system
- modulation via sensory information provided by the peripheral nervous system
Question:
6.
Answer:
whether it is a brain or a spinal cord problem, which is shutting down and not allowing the patient to be
able to move. Understand the Nervous System
Question:
7. motor skills
Answer:
an activity that requires voluntary movement to achieve a goal
Question:
8. Motor Learning
,Answer:
study of the acquisition (learning/development of skill) of motor skills
- focused on behavioral and neurological consequences associated with learning a motor skill
- new skill
- acquisitions
- enhancement of prior skills
- reacquisition following injury and disease
Question:
9. Application of Motor Learning
Answer:
1. Skill Acquisition
- learning how to play a musical instrument
- learning to play golf
- learning to speak a foreign language
2. Skill Refinement
- lowering golf handicap
- improving free-throw percentage
3. Skill Reacquisition
- focus of rehabilitation in sports medicine, and physical and occupational therapy
- activities of daily living
- gait
- muscle function
Question:
10. Motor Development
Answer:
changes in human motor behavior over the lifespan, the processes that underlie these changes and factors
that affect them
- age-related changes
- maturation issues
Question:
11. What is the difference between motor learning and motor control?
Answer:
motor control (involuntary & voluntary movement) - how we put movements together
motor learning (voluntary movement) - how we acquire and refine those movement skills
, Question:
12. The Neuron
Answer:
Functional Unit of the Nervous System
- 100 billion individual nerve cell
- perception of World-Fix Attention - control actions
Question:
13. Neuroscience
Answer:
explaining the ability of individual neurons to influence behavior
incite on complexity of the nervous system
1. mechnaisms by which neurons produce signals
2. patterns of connections between nerve cells
3. relationships of different patterns of interconnection to different types of behaviors
4. means by which neurons and their connections are modified by experience
Question:
14. Three Functions of the Nervous System
Answer:
1. sensory
2. integrative
3. motor
Question:
15. Function of Nervous System - Sensory
Answer:
senses changes in the internal and external environment
- receptor is dipolarizing; it feels pain and sends message to integrative
- bringing specified information to integrate; doesn't make decisions
Question:
16. Function of Nervous System - Integrative
Answer:
analyzes data stores data decides which stimuli are important
- makes decision on what's happening, based on sensory. trying to find where it's coming from and how
best to do it
- all decision-making
Question:
17. Function of Nervous System - Motor
Answer:
responds to stimuli through muscular contractions or glandular secretion
- quick reflex from sensory to motor (if hand on hot surface), which then the integrative system
understands what just happened. Next time, you know to stay away from the hot surface
- turning on muscles/glands, similar to sensory. sending message down to muscle and getting it to contract
- doesn't make decisions
