WEEK 2 PTA Neuro Pt2

study of how movement is learned, controlled, and changes with age

• Motor Behavior

• Motor Control

• Motor Learning

• Motor Development

Alternating isometrics contractions

-Improve ability to maintain a stabilizing contraction while resistance is slowly changed from one contact to another

Technique: BOTH HANDS PLACEMENTS on same side of body and gradually INCREASE RESISTANCE

• Alternating Isometrics

• Rhythmic Stabilization

Stabilization/co-contraction

-Simultaneous isometric contractions of agonist/antagonist with hands on different sides of the segment

*one hand anterior, one hand posterior

• Alternating Isometrics

• Rhythmic Stabilization

Match the following

• Combination of Isotonics

• Hand Position changes between direction

• Resisted Progression

• Hand Position does NOT change between directon

• Slow reversals/Slow Reversal Holds

• Used to emphasize coordination of proximal components during gait

_____ verbal cue

-With demonstration &or guided movement

-Used with early learning Stage 1

• Preparatory

• Action

• Corrective

_____ verbal cue

-Guide through the movement

-Teach how & when to move

• Preparatory

• Action

• Corrective

_____ verbal cue

-Augmented feedback to modify performance

• Preparatory

• Action

• Corrective

use of MAINTAINED RESISTANCE to facilitate an overflow or irradiation to another body part

• Prolonged holds

• Phasic shakes

• Tonic spread

• Magnetic click

use of IRRADIATION from phasic to tonic muscles

• Prolonged holds

• Phasic shakes

• Tonic spread

• Magnetic click

initial resistance is low load and resistance builds until other muscles begin to activate

• Prolonged holds

• Phasic shakes

• Tonic spread

• Magnetic click
