Study Notes
Neuromuscular Function
- Smooth and precise movement relies on the interplay between sensory and motor systems.
- Afferent neurons transmit sensory information from the peripheral nervous system (PNS) to the central nervous system (CNS).
- Efferent neurons relay motor commands from the CNS to striated muscles, facilitating purposeful movements.
Motor Output
- Primary motor area located at the backmost strip of the frontal lobe controls voluntary movement.
- The right motor area regulates left-side movements while the left motor area regulates right-side movements.
- Beginning of the corticospinal tracts runs from the cortex down the spinal column, providing pathways for motor commands.
Motor Neurons
- Upper motor neurons are found in the CNS and connect the brain and spinal cord to lower motor neurons.
- Lower motor neurons are located in the PNS and regulate the activity of skeletal muscles and muscles of the head and neck.
Sensory Input and Proprioception
- Proprioception is the body's ability to sense its position in space, essential for coordinated movement.
- Muscle spindle receptors provide continuous feedback about muscle length and tension.
- Golgi tendon organs detect excessive muscle stretch and trigger reflexes to protect muscles from injury.
Multisystems Interaction
- Neuromuscular function involves multiple structures within the CNS and PNS to generate and modulate motor output.
- Technologies like fMRI illustrate the coordination among cortical areas during motor tasks, such as reaching for a glass of water.
Dynamic Systems Theory
- This theory emphasizes that change in one system can influence multiple other systems, including the environment, cognition, and motor functions.
- Self-efficacy and motivation are key components affecting the neuromuscular system during voluntary movements.
Principles of Motor Control
- Effective treatment for motor dysfunction should consider the natural context in which movements occur.
- Engagement in meaningful tasks is crucial for motor learning.
- Assess physical considerations, such as muscle tone and endurance, and ensure limiting constraints (e.g., joint support) do not hinder movement.
Motor Learning
- Motor learning involves acquiring skills through practice and the appropriate presentation of tasks.
- Various types of practices (blocked, bilateral, and simple) can facilitate skill acquisition.
- Feedback timing and task considerations impact the learning process and active involvement in tasks enhances engagement.
Cognitive and Ideomotor Planning
- Mental rehearsal activates similar brain regions as actual performance, aiding in motor skill acquisition.
- Motor planning requires cognitive understanding to implement movements effectively for specific activities.
- Ideation is the cognitive understanding of motor demands; difficulties in sequencing movements can lead to functional impairments (e.g., using tools improperly).
