Study Notes
Fatigue and Learning
- Fatigue can hinder learning, particularly with massed practice schedules.
- Boring massed practice may lead to reduced cognitive effort from learners, negatively affecting learning outcomes.
- Shorter, more frequent practice sessions are associated with better skill acquisition and retention.
- Distributed practice over several days enhances long-term memory consolidation.
Optimal Practice Environment
- An effective rehabilitation training environment should be stimulating and challenging to promote engagement.
- Environments should replicate real-world tasks or situations to ensure relevance to everyday activities.
- Structured training setups can allow for safe and independent practice, facilitating learner success.
Novice Learner Setup
- Environment tailored for novice learners aids in task success, especially with conditions like abnormal joint contours or congenital disorders.
- Factors affecting success may include joint laxity, reduced muscle length, and conditions like contractures arising from inactivity or injury.
Decreased Muscle Strength
- Muscle strength reduction affects the ability to meet gait demands, leading to abnormal walking patterns.
-
Causes of decreased strength include:
- Disuse muscle atrophy due to immobilization or inactivity (e.g., quadriceps weakness post-surgery).
- Neurological impairments from central nervous system lesions (e.g., CVA, SCI, TBI), resulting in muscle weakness or spasticity.
Altered Muscle Coordination
- Coordination issues manifest as problems with selecting, timing, and sequencing muscle activity or force production.
Impact of Pain on Gait
- Pain can alter gait patterns through:
- Restricted range of motion (ROM) due to protective posturing, limiting necessary movement for normal gait sequences.
- Changes in muscle activity, leading to inhibition or overactivity of muscles, potentially resulting in muscle imbalances and disuse atrophy over time.
Cognitive Processing and Exercise
- Effects of exercise are specific to the task and context, influenced by:
- Joint angles during activity.
- Muscle length and contraction type.
- Velocity of muscle contractions and body posture (e.g., non-weight bearing vs. full weight bearing).
Practice Intensity
- Repetition is crucial for motor learning, raising the question of optimal practice intensity to achieve effective learning outcomes.
