Study Notes

  • Movement involves minimizing disturbances through absence of movement.
  • Continuous body adjustment is necessary to maintain posture.
  • The base of support is the distance between the two legs
  • Reduction is described as a loss of balance.
  • Tonus, stability, and concentration are all connected.
  • Three systems are involved: the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems.
