a) In task-oriented approach the environment plays an important role – why? To own a skilled performance, the patient must be able to perform complex movements, with the flexibility to vary the movement to meet ongoing environmental demands with economy of effort. Environment variable relates the real-world application to learnt movement patterns surrounding the patient.Lire la suite « Environment’s task-oriented therapy »

Reconsider exercises on study case
Return to mind task 1 and your thoughts about task- oriented approach and the tasks you planned for Peter. Would you do anything different now? Write down which things support your present ideas about stroke physiotherapy and what new ideas you got? This task has taught a significant amount about the focus of physiotherapy duringLire la suite « Reconsider exercises on study case »
Strength VS Dexterity
Clarify the interaction between strength and dexterity training after stroke, see especially table 5.1 Motor problems resulting from lesions of the central nervous system can be characterized as: -negative impairments: those that represents a loss of pre-existing function, such as a loss of strength and dexterity -positive impairments: additional, such as abnormal postures, increased proprioceptivesLire la suite « Strength VS Dexterity »
Skilled performance
Define skilled performance. Skilled performance is the ability to complete a complex movement pattern adapting to the environment and with economy of effort. In order to reach this level of skilled performance according to Fitts and Posner (Three-Stage Model), there are several key stages associated with the motor learning process summarized below. These three main stagesLire la suite « Skilled performance »
Applied on study case
Consider when you promote recovery of normal strategies versus teaching compensatory strategies for performing a task. Do you want to promote Peter to use normal strategies or compensatory strategies? Justify your decision The most influencing variable is time after stroke. Depending upon the condition and the patient’s ability to recover lost function, the following strategyLire la suite « Applied on study case »
Task-oriented strategies
What are the intervention strategies of task-oriented approach? Expanding upon the above, the task-orientated approach assumes that the patient learns through actively attempting to solve problems inherent in functional tasks. Thereafter, intervention concurrently strategies are: -resolve, reduce or prevent impairments -develop effective and efficient task-specific strategies -adapt functional goal-orientated strategies to changing tasks and environmentalLire la suite « Task-oriented strategies »
