Explain Why Transfer Occurs

The biomechanical approach assumes that the client has the capacity for voluntary control of the body (muscle control) and mind (motivation). It is anatomy and physiology that determines normal function, and humans are biomechanical beings whose range of motion (ROM), strength, and endurance have physiological and kinetic potential as well as role relevant behaviors. The biomechanical frame of reference is a key reference to use in conjunction with various others in enabling OT to access and identify a client’s occupational performance within the various activities of daily living. It is important when taking a holistic approach to practice, as

My Bachelor’s in Exercise Science has equipped knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology, and exercise testing and prescription for people of different ages and health conditions. During my attendance at the University of Texas at Arlington, I joined the Little Mavs Movement Academy directed by Dr. Priscilla Cacola. I volunteered for a year in this program; while in the program I had the opportunity to learn about developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and how it interferes with activities of daily living and learning of

In sport, an understanding of biomechanical principles allows athletes and coaches to breakdown movement and learn the correct way to execute a skill (Singh Yadav, 2016, P 669-670).

The purpose of this research paper is to discuss how we learn. How does learning correlate with the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain. Also, I discussed how the different structures work in relation to the learning process. Furthermore, I have discussed how disease and injury may affect learning. I used several different resources to gather my information including: educational video, scholarly journals, and my textbook.

What is it to transform something? Or furthermore, why does transformation occur? Throughout history, the human race is constantly finding ways to invent, improve and explore new ideas and concepts with one common goal and that is to better their everyday lives. Like all new transformations, there are new benefits which arise and yet at the same time, there could be some downfalls, potentially resulting in a butterfly effect. In recent decades, employment and working life have been transformed dramatically. For some, it has been for the better and has helped improved their daily life, however there is a group which have not be able to adapt to the transformations subject to their situation. One of Asia’s giants, China is always a growing country similarly to Australia. However, although both countries have a similar goal of transforming their employment and working life situation, both countries tackle their problems differently, ultimately the benefits and consequences differ. Although there are loses and gains, ultimately, everyone is a winner as their gain outweighs their loss and change is not for the worse.

Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are “essential for all physical activities and when developed in school years are often maintained in later life” (Board of Studies Teaching and Educational

One comes to mind that added insight from today’s lesson was antagonist muscles. When we were as to rotate our bodies to one side while looking the opposite side made it difficult to execute the task of easily rolling a patient over. The neck muscles oppose or reverse the desired movement, by contracting slightly to provide some resistance. reading it in a book is one thing but seeing in action is another, and in my opinion, a better way to retain and learn a topic.

A) Skills Training: The primary motor cortex is made up of interconnected neural assemblies (localized groups of neurons with similar inputs and outputs), that control movements in the fingers, hands, and legs. This coordinated activation can then be made complex and lets us do multijoint movements such as reaching. Before the study the theory was that during skills learning, the connectivity between these neural assemblies change. These changes were viewed as differences in cortical synapse numbers, synaptic strength, and the topography of stimulation-evoked movement representation. They did a study with adult rats to measure these changes while they do an obstacle course. Some rats had to learn limb placement and posture control to finish a complex obstacle course, and the others walked an unobstructed course. The rats that were required to learn limb placement and posture control because of the complex obstacle course, showed increases in synapse number within the motor cortex compare to the rats doing the simple obstacle. The synaptic changes seen here are thought to show the changes in cortical circuitry that results in the reorganization of the neural assemblies encoding movement. Therefore proving the theory correct. All this data indicates that training on a skill produces alterations in the

The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas (“University of Connecticut”, n.d.). There are five levels: imitation, manipulation, precision, articulation, and naturalization. Imitation is to replicate an action of another; observe and mirror the action. Manipulation is recreating an activity from instruction or memory. Precision is performing a skill reliably, independent of help, and the action is quick, smooth, and accurate. Articulation is adapting and articulating competence to satisfy a new context or task. Naturalization is instinctive, effortless and unconscious mastery of an activity and related skills at a strategic level.

As children’s bodies become more streamlined and less top-heavy, their center of gravity shifts downwards toward the trunk. As a result, balance improves greatly, paving the way for new motor skills involving large muscles of the body. (Berk, 1999) During the preschool years until approximately age seven, fundamental motor skills develop including the locomotor skills needed to run, jump, hop, and skip. Also the object control skills such as throwing, catching, and kicking are developing. By the age of six or seven, children begin to integrate two or more of these skills. Though all children will not develop these skills at the same age, they will follow the same sequence.

Transference and counter transference is one of most important aspects of treatment between patient and practitioner. In a clinical setting we do not always have the opportunity to have consecutive treatments with the same patient and as a result may not be able to acknowledge or notice these occurrences. It is not often that I have the opportunity to see a patient on a regular basis or even twice for that matter. As a result, it is not possible for me to notice or recognize any transference that the patient my have towards me. At times however, I clearly know the impose counter-transference & boundaries issues which patient and I experience.

and the kinesthetic learners. These ways of learning seem pretty basic and you can tell how the children will learn but we’re going to go much deeper into what each learning style really is.

As a physical therapist, I will need to help patients specific arears to repair tissues or muscle back to working conditions. In knowing what each motor unit and neuron does I can help my patients build that back. Also, the articles talk about making programs that help with movement which will be a daily thing for me. Considering I could have a patient with an ACL tear to a patient with a shoulder injury. I must individualize each of my programs around their rate coding and motor unit recruitment. It will also help me in designing effective training programs that will aid in helping them ease back into their daily activities or
