Barbara Natell – Creative Interventions in Motor Control & Learning

Hands-Sharing your experiences will enable you to work together on developing holistic interventions that maximize function and skill.

Barbara Natell – Creative Interventions in Motor Control & Learning

This course will help clinicians develop treatment strategies that incorporate multiple perspectives on motor control and learning. Motor learning techniques will be guided by the three main factors of motor learning: environment, cognitive processes and movement organization through multisensory Integration. The evidence-based design of interventions is used to support better retention and learning. Patients experience enhanced functional mobility. Hands-Sharing your experiences will enable you to work together on developing holistic interventions that maximize function and skill.

1. Summarize between changes in motor skill performance, motor learning
2. Discuss the clinical implications and strengths of motor control.
3. Examine the current evidence in motor control and learning to identify key parameters that could influence therapeutic outcomes
4. Assess the conditions that affect performance in relation to mobility, postural stability, fine motor skills, and mobility of individuals or tasks.
5. Design contexts, strategies, and communication strategies to facilitate optimal motor learning across a functional continuum.
