PHTY210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 20: Motor Control, Electronic Stability Control, Motor System
Document Summary
Explain the impact of pain on local and global motor control mechanisms. Including analysing factors related to the individual that influence motor control. Individual factors related to mc of action: feedforward vs feedback mechanisms, rehabilitation of control of movement. "rehabilitation of control of movement and muscle activity is a mainstay of management of many pain conditions related to the msk system. This is based on the premise that pain and movement are intimately linked: pain impacts on motor control. In the presence of pain: kinematic changes, normal muscle activation pattern changes, cortical representation of muscles and joint changes. Sensory feedback changes: local and global, examples. Spinal local and cortical level global: perception, proprioception and afferent mediated control of movement local, changes in somatosensory cortex global/cortical reorganisation, cognition, attention, motor planning changes. Stress and fear associated with pain (demands on cns resources: local muscles: types of changes reported, changes in recruitment of local muscles.
