|
Carr and Shepard's Motor Relearning Program (MRP)
|
person is an active participant
postural adjustements and limb movements are linked sucessful task relearning occurs when activites are performed automatically and efficiently learning of skills doesn't follow developmental sequence practice of compensatory strategies limits fxnal recovery intervention not focused on learning specific movemtns, instead on learning general strategies for solving motor problems obstacles to efficient movement include loss of soft tissue extensibility, balance loss, fixation patterns due to postural insecuity and muscle weakness abnormal movemtn patterns are attributed to repeated practice of compensatory movement strategies that become overleanred |
|
Contemporary Task-Oriented Approach
|
occupational performance emerges from interaction of multiple systems (including personal and performance contexts)
personal and environmental systems are heterarchiacally organized individua's behavioral changes reflect his/her attemptst to compenstate and acheive fxnal goals must practice with varied strategies to find optimal solutions for motor problems and develop skill performance fxnal tasks help organize motor behavior OT must detemine control parameters or systems that have positive or negative influences on motor behavior proactice opportunities are provided and appropriate to person's stage of learning OT conducts eval using top-down approach eval focuses initially on role performance & tasks second step of eval is task analaysis to identify which subsystems of person and/or environmatal factors limiting fxn |

Stages of motor learning
|
1. skill acquisition stage (cognitive stage) occurs during intital instruction and practice of a skill

neurodevelopmental tx approach (NDT), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), Brunnstrom's apporach, Margaret Rood's approach
|
|
Neurophysiologic FOR assumptions
|
controlled movemetn ois preceded by stereotyp0ic reflex responses
sensory input regulates motor output and sensation is necessary for movement to take place normal movements are governed by heirarchial centralized motor programs that determine muscle activiation patterns damange to higher control centers release lower level or primitive reflexes and movement patters from inhibition when basic movements and postures are normalized skilled movement woudl occur atutomatically integration of lower level spinal and brainstem reflexes occurs by eliciting higher level righting and equilibrium respones controlled sensory input applied by OT can influence motor responses use of faciliation and inhibition techniques can improve motor performance |
|
tx strategies used by Rood approach
|
1. sensory stimulation used to evoke a motor response (uses direct applicaiton of sensory stimuli to muscles and joints)
2. refelexive movment used as a precursor for volitional movement (reflexive movement acheived initially through the application of sensory stimuli) 3. tx directed toward influenciing muscle tone (sensory stimuli used to inhibit or facilitate tone) 4. developmetnal patterns/sequences used for the developmetn of motor skills (ontogenic motor patterns used to develop motor skills) |
|
tx strategies used by Brunnstrom approach (movement therapy)
|
1. sensory stimulation used to evoke a motor response (movement occurs in response to sensory stimuli)
2. refelxive movement used as a precursor for volitional movment (move pt along a continuum of reflexive to volitional movement patterns) 3. tx directed twoard invluencing muscle tone (postures, sensory stimuli used to inhibit or facilitate tone) 4. developmental patterns/sequences used for the developmetn of motor skills (flexion and extension synergies; proximal to distal return) 5. conscous attn is directed toward movement |
|
tx strategies for proprioceptive neuromuscular approach

|
tx strategies of neurodevelopmental tx

sensory integration FOR for sensory processing disorders assumptions
|
developed by A. Jean Ayres
views neural organization of sensory info for an adaptive response plasticity fo CNS allows for modifications sensory integration occurs in developmental sequential manner higher cortical processing fxns are dependent on adequate processing andn organization of sensory stimuli by lower brain centers adequate modulation of sensory stimuli must occur for an adaptive response to occur (facilitory or inhibitory) adaptive responses faciliate the integration of sensory stimuli individuals seek out sensorimotor experiences that have an organizing effect |
|

|
Sensory Integration Intervention
|
follows principles of SI theory: control sensory input to improve sensory processing, faciliate sensory integration, and elicit and adaptive response. create environment to faciliate active participation; ensure registation of meaningful sensory input to obtain and adaptive response; balance stgructure and freedom, tapping into the child's inner drive to obtain neural organization;/ graually introduce activities requireing mroe mature and complex patterns of behaviors; promote organized adaptive responses to enhance a child's general beahvioral organization, including socialization
|
|
Grading of type and rate of movement
|
firm pressure and resistance is less threatening than light touch
linear movment is less threatening than angular slow movement is less threatening than rapid movement |
|
Sensory processing deficits intervention for tactile
|
tactile modulation for tactile defensiveness, hypersensitivity/over-responsivity; and hyposensitivity/under-responsitivy and sensory seeking:
-self applied stimuli are more tolerable than passive application of tactile stimuli -provide deep touch/firm pressure where teh child can see the source of the stimuli, which tends to be more tolerable vs light touch stimuli tha ttends to be aversive, especially to the face, abdomen, and palmar surfaces of teh extremities -provide controlled sensory activities that simultaneoulsy provide tactile and vestibular-proprioceptive info -begin with slow linear movements and deep touch-pressure -apply tactile stimuli in the direction of hair growth which is less aversive -follow tactile stimuli with joint compression -monitor and adjust stimuli that seem to influence modulation of stimuli -be alert and assess child's behavioral responses up to a few hours following tx when negative impacts may still demonstrated -tactile defensiveness and sensory-seeking can be reduced if tx approach is effective |
|
sensory processing intervention for tactile discrimination
|
provide deep touch pressure to hte hands as well as the body
deficits rarely seen in isolation and somatodyspraxia is typically seen;p therefore, tx for tactiel discrimination is usually performed simultaneously when providing tx for deficits in motor planning provide graded activities requiring tactile discrimination activities using a mix of textures and items |
|
Sensory integration intervention for proprioception
|
deficits in modulation demonstrated by over-responsitivity/under-responsitivity and sensory seeking:
-provide firm touch, pressure, joint compression or traction -provide resistance to active movement to help the child learn the appropriate amt of force to perform tasks -provide activiteis in various body positions combining vestibular proprioceptive info -provide slow linear movement, restistance, and deep pressure -use adaptive techniques discrimination deficits: provide tx as noted above, provide activities requireing the child to demonstrate teh ability to grade the force or efforts of movement |
|
Sensory integration intervention for vestibular
|
deficits in modulation fo vestibular input include over-respnosivity/under-responsitivity, hyhpersenstivity (aversion response), sensory seeking, and gravitational insecurity (fear response)
-grade for type of rate of movement and for amt of resistance (precautions must be observed) -slowly introduce linear movemtn with touch pressure in prone and provide resistance to active movements, esp for gravitational insecurity -use linear vestibular stimuli to increase awarenss of spatial orientaiton (otolith organ) -provide rapid rotary and angular movemetns with frequent starts/stops and acceleration/deceleration to increse ability to distinguqish the pace of movement (semicircular canals) |
|
other sensory integration interventions
|
special and advanced training and knowledge of the effects of various sensory stimuli is required
