Q

What is inter trial variability?

A

absent- task occurs in constant environment from one performance to next (ladder)

present- variable environment from one task to next (rock climbing)

Q

What are 3 stages of motor learning?

A
  1. cognitive stage- what to do and how to do it safely, many errors, significant feedback
  2. associative- focused on consistency and fine tuning, less errors, minimal feedback
  3. autonomous - movements are automatic, patient adapts to more challenging environments

Q

What is a very important thing to remember about motor learning?

A

the task needs to be meaningful to patient

17
Q

What type of practice is effective in early stages of learning?

A

Part practice- breaking down a whole movement into individual pieces

18
Q

What is blocked order practice?

A

same task performed repeatedly under same conditions in predictable order

good for initial practice, 6” step up repeated

19
Q

What is random order practice?

A

slight variations of same task performed in unpredictable order

ex: step up to unpredictable height

leads to better skill retention

20
Q

What is random/ blocked order practice?

A

variations of the same task performed in random order and each variation performed more than once

21
Q

What is intrinsic feedback?

A

from sensory system of pt

provides both KP and KR

22
Q

What is augmented feedback?

A

aka extrinsic

PT provides feedback during or after task to provide KP or KR

can be verbal, tactile, auditory or visual

23
Q

What is concurrent feedback?

A

during performance in real time

24
Q

What is delayed post response feedback?

A

PT allows pt a short interval for pt to think about task and reflect before giving them feedback

this is important for Pt learning

25
What are patient related factors to exercise adherence?
do they understand their condition, do they understand exercise program, what is their level of motivation
26
What factors related to health condition could affect adherence?
acuity, chronic, severity, stability
27
What are program related variables to adherence?
is program too complex, what was quality of instruction or feedback
