Neuroplasticity
ability of the brain to change and repair itself
developmental plasticity
alter neural activities in response to new situations and/or changes in the
environment
adaptive neuroplasticity
compensate the loss from injury and diseases
adaptive neuroplasticity is dependent upon what
skill and motor learning
Does it matter when a neuro injury occured?
no- rehabilitation can change from compensation to restoration of
function even years after a neuro event
How to promote adaptive neuroplasticity
- use it or lose it
- repetition
- saliency
- use it and improve it
- intensity matters
- age matters
- specific w/ tasks
- time matters
- transference (translate good habit to another task)
,- interference (don't translate bad habit to another task)
what is the impact of the environment for neuroplasticity and motor
learning?
the closer the practiced environment is to the actual environment of the
patient will result in better transfer of learning
motor learning
the reacquisition of skills that are difficult to perform or cannot be
performed b/c of injury
3 stages of learning
- cognitive (what to do)
- associative (how to do)
- autonomous (how to succeed)
how to enhance motor learning
- agument expectancies (moderate the perceived task difficulty- give
them confidence)
- autonomy (give them choices you know will improve their outcomes-
more active involvement)
- external focus )focus on envisioned outcome)
how to motivate motor learning
- task-specific
- salience (make your interventions important to the patient)
- autonomy
- self-efficacy (an individuals belief in their ability to achieve their goals)
what other factor than environmental influences neuroplasticity in the
brain
, aerobic exercise
intrinsic feedback
a person's own sensory-perceptual information fo movement
(proprioception, vision, auditory, vestibular)
extrinsic feedback
externally provided through the quality of movement (knowledge) and
focus on the outcome or goal or skill (results)
massed practice
practice time is more than rest time
blocked practice
uninterrupted task performed repeatedly
mental practice
visualize w/o physical practice
blocked/random practice
single task practiced consistently than varying practice
constant/variable practice
changing environment/conditions
distributed practice
practice time less than or equal to rest time
