M1 L7a: Ax Postural Control Part I Definition and Activity Framework Flashcards
(30 cards)
What are the 3 inter-connected aspects of motor control?
What is the organisation of motor control?
What are 2 task factors?
- Stability
- Mobility
When is stability required?
When sitting or standing with a static base
When is mobility required?
When moving the base of support for (eg. walking or running)
What are 6 characteristics of a task being manipulated to increase the demand?
- Lifting a light load vs heavy load
- Accuracy required in the task
- Task certaincy (i.e self paced or go on signal)
- Task complexity (i.e dual-tasking such as walking and carrying a load or walking and talking)
- Body orientation to the task such as lifting a load in crouch position or in upright
- Speed required
What are 2 environmental factors?
- Regulatory
- Non-regulatory
What are regulatory features?
Influence the movement so that it must conform to these features (eg. uneven surfaces- grass, sand VS firm surface)
What are non- regulatory features?
Those that may affect movement performance but the movement does not have to conform to them (eg. background noise)
What are 4 individual factors in postural control?
- Perception
- Cognition
- Action
- Control of action
How the action is achieved and what are the individal factors limiting that is that we as physiotherapists assess.
What is perception of postural control?
Discernment of sensory information and high-level interpretation of incoming sensory information
What is cognition of postural control?
Includes attention, planning, problem solving motivation, engagement and emotional aspects contributing to movement output
What is action of postural control?
Includes how a certain activity is accomplished such as walking or talking
What is control of action of postural control?
Requires understanding of the motor output that achieves that activity
What are 3 characteristics of postural control?
- Postural control, balance function, postural stability, static balance, dynamic balance
- Lack of a consistent and explicit framework
- Lack of consensus or use of valid and reliable clinical assessments in clinical trials for interventions
What are 2 types of BOS?
- Stationary BOS
- Changing BOS
What are 3 types of stationary BOS?
- Sustain
- Maintain
- Retain
What are 3 types of changing BOS?
- Project
- Propel
- Protect
What is postural control?
Control of the body’s position for orientation and balance
What is orientation?
Controlling the relationship between the body segments, the task being performed ad the environment
What is Balance?
Controlling the centre of mass in relation the the bass of support
What is stationary BOS?
These activities require control of orientation and balance when the BOS does not change
What is changing BOS?
These activities require control of orientation and balance when the BOS changes or moves
What is SUSTAIN in stationary BOS?
