Motor Control: Translating Research into Clinical Practice by Anne Shumway-Cook PT PhD FAPTA, Marjorie H Woollacott

By Anne Shumway-Cook PT PhD FAPTA, Marjorie H Woollacott

Motor keep an eye on is the one textual content to bridge the distance among present motor keep an eye on study and its purposes to scientific perform. The textual content prepares therapists to envision and deal with sufferers with difficulties regarding stability, mobility, and higher extremity functionality, according to the simplest to be had facts aiding scientific perform. This variation offers the newest learn findings and their scientific purposes in postural regulate, mobility, and top extremity functionality. Drawings, charts, tables, and images also are integrated to elucidate postural keep an eye on and sensible mobility, and laboratory actions and case experiences are supplied to augment key concepts.
 
Videos at the back-of-book DVD research motor regulate deficits, together with deficits in postural keep watch over, mobility, and higher extremity functionality in numerous forms of neurologic pathology (stroke, cerebellar pathology, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson's sickness) in addition to in stability impaired elders. those video clips may be seen of their entirety or within the following segments: impairments, postural keep watch over, mobility, and top extremity regulate. This video complements the medical insurance present in the textbook.

Example text

How much is due to “spontaneous recovery”? How much of her recovery may be attributed to therapeutic interventions? How many of her reacquired motor skills will she be able to retain and use when she leaves the rehabilitation facility and returns home? These questions and issues reflect the importance of motor learning to clinicians involved in retraining the patient with motor control problems. What is Motor Learning? In Chapter 1, we defined the field of motor control as the study of the nature and control of movement.

When variability is viewed as a consequence of error, therapists will use therapeutic strategies designed to reduce error, guiding patients toward an optimal and stable movement pattern. In contrast, when variability is viewed as a critical element of normal function, therapists will encourage patients to explore variable and flexible movement patterns that will lead to success in achieving performance goals (Harbourne & Stergiou, 2009). Ecological Theory In the 1960s, independent of the research in physiology, a psychologist named James Gibson was beginning to explore the way in which our motor systems allow us to interact most effectively with the environment in order to perform goal-oriented behavior (Gibson, 1966).

It has been suggested that associative learning has evolved to help animals learn to detect causal relationships in the environment. Establishing lawful and therefore predictive relationships among events is part of the process of making sense and order of our world. , 2000). Patients who have suffered an injury that has drastically altered their ability to sense and move in their world have the task of reexploring their body in relationship to their world in order to determine what new relationships exist between the two.
