NM II: Exam 1

IV P'S - 1. Prevention 2. Prediction 3. Plasticity 4. Participation categories of Motor Skills - 1. transitional mobility- skills that allow mvt from one posture to another 2. stability- ability to maintain posture of COM over BOS ex. hold sitting or kneeling 3. dynamic motor control- ability to maintain stability while other other parts of body are in motion 4. skill- ability to perform both UE LE sequences Interventions to improve motor function - 1. restorative 2. Impairment-specific and augmented 3. compensatory Restorative Interventions - less less assistance; more repetition and practice; neuroplasticity 1. activity based ex: task specific training, environmental context, behavioral shaping 2. motor learning strategies ex: strategy development, feedback, practice, transfer of learning Indications for restorative interventions - -for pts who gave potential for change for resolving direct impairments or optimizing function or modifying indirect impairments contraindications for restorative interventions - - pts with chronic progressive pathology ex: parkinsons disease Augmented Intervention - more assistance/ hands on approach ex: neuromuscular facilitation, PNF, NDT
