System Theory
multiple systems influence movement;
indivudal, task environment,
Gentile’s Taxonomy of Motor Tasks
describe task according to demands of task and environment

Manipulation
Does the motor skill require the performer to manipulate an object?

Clinical Implications of motor learning
Movement is goal directed & constrained by environment
Patients learn by actively solving movement problems in functional tasks, rather than repetitively practicing normal movement patterns
