Question
Answer
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
