Term
Imagining an action without the physical execution; it is an active process during which the representation of an actin is internally reproduced within working meemory
Definition
Motor Imagery
Term
Repetition or rehearsing of imagined motor acts with the intension of improving their physical execution
Definition
Mental Practice
Term
Increased HR and RR when imagining walking on a treadmill at faster speeds
Definition
Autonomic Responses
Term
Walking to objects at different distances changes time spent on the task. More difficult movements take more time.
Definition
Temporal Organization
Term
Functional brain imaging studies have demonstrated increased activity in the __ and __ cortices with a variety of locomotor tasks
Definition
SMA
Sensorimotor
Term
Does representation of movement remain intact after a stroke even when motor activity is limited or absent?
Definition
Yes
Term
__ __ in conjunction with __ can expand motor representation in the brain and can improve performance by acting on motor planning areas of the cortex
Definition
Mental practice and training
Term
Patients must mentally and explicitly rehearse the sequence of movements associated with the task. This will increase a patients __ of movment and improve what 2 things?
Definition
Awareness
Learning and Retention
Term
Name 3 requirements a person must have in order to do motor imagery techniques
Definition
1. Intact cognition
2. Able to communicate
3. Intact working memory
Term
Brain imaging studies have shown than __ person is CLOSER to the real execution of the movement
Definition
1st
Term
This is the means of seeing and feeling the movement from the inside
Definition
1st person
Term
Can imagery alone improve motor learning?
Definition
yes
Term
If using imagery alone it requires significant reps to influence motor learning. __ mental rehearsal over a 5 day period and/or __ reps over a single session
Definition
1,500
120
Term
Imagery alone can improve physical performance but if you couple it with __ it will maximize the effects.
Definition
Physical Performance
Term
If you are having a patient mentally image a task, what should their physical body look like?
Definition
In the same position as the task if possible (ex. a person doing sit to stand should not be lying down)
