Sensory information
38
How does sensation play an important role in motor control
INITIALLY; it cues REFLEXIVE movement
(ex. stroking a baby's cheek causes them to turn towards the contact)
LATER; provides important feedback for reaching/creeping
(ex. sound/sight feedsback to brain, responding in a movement response
39
What are the 2 Motor Control Theories
1. Hierarchy Model (top-down theory)
| 2. System Model
40
From where and to is information sent in the HIERARCHICAL Theory
From the CORTEX downt to SUBCORTICAL structures
41
What is the initial part of the Hierarchical Theory that makes you move a certain way
Person 'thinks' about moving and NERVOUS system carries out command
42
When is voluntary movement achieved tin the Hierarchical Theory
through maturation of the cortex
43
How is the maturation of the cortex assessed in the Hierarchical Theory
through reflexes
44
Are reflexes primitive or trained
Primitive
| ex. Feeding Reflex, Palmar grasp
45
What is the basis of all Movement in the Hierarchical Ttheory
Reflex
46
After PRIMITIVE reflexes, the next higher level of reflexes are the ?
TONIC reflexes
| assoc. with the brainstem
47
What is the acronym for ATNR
Assymetrical Tonic Neck Reflex
| ie. right-left extremity: baby moving arms towards one direction
48
What is the acronym for STNR
Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex
| ie. upper-lower extremity: when arms and neck FLEX, leg EXTEND
49
What is the acronym for TLR
Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex
(ie. when head is extended whole body is extended, if head is in flexion whole body is in flexion; increased extensor tone when an infant is supine)
