Levels of Motor Control
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mobility | Ability to initiate movement through a functional ROM. |
| Stability | Ability to maintain a position or posture through cocontraction and tonic holding around axis. Unspported sitting with midline control is an example of stability. |
| Controlled Mobility | Ability to move within a weight bearing position or rotate around a long axis. Activities in prone on elbows or wt. shifting in quadruped. |
| Skill | Ability to consistently perform functional tasks and manipulate the environment with normal postural reflex mechanisms and balance reactions. ADL's and community locomotion, |
| Contract-Relax (CR) | At point of limitation pt performs a maximal contraction of the antagonistic muscle group. Therapist resists mvt for 8 to 10 sec. |
| Hold-Relax (HR) | Isometric contraction used to increase ROM. Facilitated for all muscle groups at point of restriction. Relax then able to move through newly acquired ROM. |
