ENVIRONMENT EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE
what is the systems theory? what does it emphasize?
- movement results from the interaction of many systems with a task in a specific
environment
- emphasized need to understand how the CNS solves problems (degrees of freedom,
synergies)
what is the PT application of the systems theory?
- evaluate systems
- address limitations
- manipulate task and environment to get spontaneous change in movement
what is the motor control theory evolved from?
systems theory
what does the motor control theory emphasize?
emphasize on the characteristics of the environment and task as additional problems for
the CNS in production of movement
what is the task-oriented theory evolved from?
both systems theory and motor control theory
the task-oriented theory recognizes what?
,- that the CNS is made up on an enormous amount of feedback loops
- motor output are used to adapt neural outputs to specific goals and contexts
what does the task-oriented theory state?
CNS can monitor its own functioning (internal feedback) and can correct error before
expressed in movement error (feedforward mechanisms)
what is an example of the task-oriented model?
- bowler decides to take up curling
- CNS has to recall previously learned movement strategy for rolling a ball
- strategies have to be adapted to change in environment (ice vs hard floor)
- must adapt postural strategies so can maintain balance on ice
- CNS must anticipate how MS system will respond to new context, how strategy must
be adapted and select movement pattern appropriate for task
movement problems are the result of what in the task-oriented theory?
- impairments in one or more systems
- patient produces movement based on remaining intact systems (compensation)
what should interventions focus on in task-oriented theory?
focus on practice of functional tasks
recovery of movement results from attempting to find the solution to the problem
in multiple contexts is what in the task-oriented theory?
adaption
what does motor learning theory emphasize?
- how movements are acquired (skill acquisition)
- schedule of practice
, - structure of practice
- transference and retention
what is movement the interaction of?
- task
- individual
- environment
what are the components of task?
mobility, stability, manipulation
what are the components of the individual?
cognition, perception, action
what are the components of the environment?
regulatory, nonregulatory
action begins with ___
the decision to act (internally generated goal, response to change in environment)
what does input/central processing need in order to make the decision to act? (5)
- attention
- planning
- problem solving
- motivation
- emotion
what is plan for action?
selected/new plan developed
- analysis of internal/external sensory inputs
