|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobility: | The ability to initiate movement through a functional range of motion. | ||||
| Stability: | The ability to maintain a position or posture through cocontraction and tonic holding around a joint. Unsupported sitting with midline control is an example of stability. | ||||
| Controlled Mobility: | The ability to move within a weight bearing position or rotate around a long axis. Activities in prone on elbows or weight shifting in quadruped are examples of controlled mobility. | ||||
| Skill: | The ability to consistently perform functional tasks and manipulate the environment with normal postural reflex mechanisms and balance reactions. Skill activities include ADLs and community locomotion. | ||||
| Motor Control: | A Task-Oriented Approach | ||||
| motor control | Charles Sherrington postulated the reflex theory of motor control. Motor control refers to the ability to produce, regulate, and alter mechanisms that produce movement and control posture. | ||||
| The various theories of motor control are based | on a specific interpretation of how the brain functions and interacts with other body systems. | ||||
| A task-oriented approach to motor control utilizes | a systems theory of motor control that views the entire body as a mechanical system with many interacting subsystems that all work cooperatively in managing internal and environmental influences. | ||||
| The task-oriented approach utilizes an examination that consists of | observation of functional performance, analysis of strategies used to accomplish tasks, and assessment of impairments. | ||||
| Treatment attempts to resolve | impairments, design and implement effective recovery and compensatory strategies, and retrain using functional activities |
