Motor Learning Play In Physical Therapy Practice

a) How does movement change across the lifespan? Postulate the reasons why these changes occur across the lifespan.
When we are young, our brain’s plasticity occurs faster (1), this helps us (when young) learn important movement in order for us to be able to sit, kneel, stand up, walk, and perform other functional activities. As we age, our brain’s plasticity starts to decrease and our motor learning decreases. Changes in our brain’s plasticity and our body, decrease the movements that we can do or learn.

b) What role does a) motor control and b) motor learning play in physical therapist practice? How is movement examined and addressed in clinical practice? Explain your answers and use specific examples to support your answer.
