*Function improved through use of effective movement patterns*
-Handling: - manual hands on interventions designed to change muscle tone and normalize the
quality of the pateint's movements. Handling is used for inhibition and facilitiation
-Key points of control
-Inhibition/facilitation
NDT looked at what kind of system
*Looked at hierarchical system*
Hierarchical - spinal cord - brainstem- cortical
Cephalo-caudal, proximal - distal, gross to fine

feedback used to help the patient achieve a more normal quality of movement
Inhibition: manual techniques and positions used to decrease or eliminate the effects of
Flaccidity: no movement
Increased tone: abnormal patterns
Severe tone: posturing
Distributed model of control
Lesion can result in:
-Abnormal tone
-Disturbed synergistic organization
-Weakness
-Perceptual deficits
-Impaired sensation
-Dec ROM
-Balance deficits
Systems model of motor control
Looks at multiple interacting processes
Task goals in the center of:
