DescriptionTherapists in various rehabilitation settings have the issue of teaching patients motor skills. The goal in juvenile settings is to optimize new skill development, but in neurologic and geriatric settings, therapists primarily focus on altering improper motor behavior and re-learning motor abilities.
Successful therapists must be able to properly identify the source of motor skill deficiencies and then devise treatment procedures that assist motor skill acquisition or re-learning. In today’s fast-paced health-care setting, therapists must be skilled at organizing the learning environment in order to encourage the quickest and most long-lasting changes in a patient’s motor abilities.
In this course, you will look at current theoretical and applied perspectives on motor control and learning, as well as their implications for therapeutic evaluation and treatment. The course discussion will be behavioral in nature, comparing and contrasting information processing and dynamic systems models in order to comprehend normal and abnormal human motor activity. Both techniques’ therapeutic implications will be investigated.
You will critically examine existing motor control rehabilitation assumptions and analyze how theoretical frameworks prejudice evaluation and therapy alternatives. You will be able to build their own unique treatment techniques to enhance functional results in each patient if you grasp past and present approaches to motor control and learning.
