| Term | Definition |
| traditional | reflex or hierarchical model |
| could be called motor learning | motor control |
| reflex or neurodevelopmental model | model in which movement is elicited by sensory input or controlled by central programs, based on Sherrington or Gesell, changes are dur to CNS maturation, developement follows a predictable sequence, CNS damage can lead to regression to lower levels and stereotypical behaviors |
| Rood | sensory stimulation evoke a motor response, can facilitate or inhibit a muscle activity-sensory integration |
| Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) | Bobath-normalize muscle tone, inhibit primitive reflexes and facilitate normal postural reactions- handling techniques, weight bearing, positioning |
| Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation | (developed by Kabat, Knott, Voss) developmental sequencing(traditional) thru balanced interplay b/w agonist and antagonist-diagonal patterns |
| Brunnstrom (Movement therapy) | looks at recovery from stroke-developing spasticity-try to develope synergies |
| Movement therapy | reflexive movements in return on movement, movement returns in a specific manner, treatment is to facilitate progress from reflexive to volitional movement |
| functional tasks | help organize behavior |
| occupational performance | emerges from the interaction of persons and their environment |
| OT task oriented tx | CNS is heirarch------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Task oriented approach | movement emerges from the interaction of many systems, context plays a role in movement, movement for a task is the preferred means from for achieving a functional goal, CNS damage leads to attempts to use remaining resources to acheive functional goals |
| Traditional evaluations lwill look at- | abnormal muscle tone, abnormal refexes and stereotypical movement patterns, postural control, sensation and perception, memory and judgement, stage of recovery or developmental level |
| Margaret Rood | 1930 literature, motor output is dependent upon sensory input, motor responses follow a normal development sequence, psychic, somatic, autonomic functions, based on clinical observations, neurophysiological aspects, deveelopmental literature |
| Basis of sensory integration | appropriate sensory stimulation can elicit specific motor responses, controlled sensoory stimulation with a sequence of positions and activities of normal ontogenetic motor development to acheive purposeful muscular responses |
| Roods theory | normalize muscle tone, muscles have different duties, heavy work muscles(stabilizers) primarily extensors and abductors/light work muscles(mobilizers)primarily flexors and adductors, movement is directed toward functional goals, pyramidal system used to control reflex activity and to perform isolated voluntary acts, repetition is important for reducation |
| tonic/labrinthine reflexes | assist or retard the effects of senory stimulation |
| sensory stimulation | can engage different muscle groups |
