What is a potential benefit of practicing with the opposite limb after an injury?
- It is not related to any recovery process.
- It can reduce the strength of the injured limb.
- It focuses solely on unilateral training effectiveness.
- It can facilitate performance in the injured limb after rehabilitation. (correct)
According to the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning, what is advised for practicing limb skills?
According to the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning, what is advised for practicing limb skills?

Skill learned with one limb can sometimes improve skills in the opposite limb.
Preferred Limb First
Preferred Limb First
Practicing with the dominant limb first, leveraging early success.

Study Notes
Skill Acquisition and Practice Sequencing
- Training one limb can improve the other limb's skill acquisition rate.
- The optimal sequence of practice for this transfer remains debated.
- Some researchers suggest that practicing the preferred limb first maximizes benefits.
- This approach capitalizes on early success, aligning with the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning, emphasizing motivational factors.
Bilateral Transfer and Injury
- Bilateral transfer (transferring skill from one limb to another) can be helpful when one limb is injured.
- Practicing the uninjured limb can aid the injured limb's rehabilitation.
- Unilateral strength training in the non-injured limb may improve the injured limb's recovery.
- Studies are ongoing to identify the optimal training parameters (duration, frequency, intensity, rest, and type) for maximizing this transfer.
