Document Summary
Gross motor movement - movement of a large limb. Fine motor movement - movement of a smaller limb. Extrafusal muscle fibers - allow us to move our joints and produces torque. Intrafusal muscle fibers - do not produce power, but are sensitive to stretch. Provides information about where about your body parts are in space. They are very in-tune to the environment: muscle spindles - (type of intrafusal muscle fiber) - may tense up if looking over a cliff. Motor learning - a set of internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to a relatively permanent gain in performance capability. Control - area of study dealing with the. An understanding of the neural, physical, and behavioral aspects of movement. Ex. (stroke, the deficits associated with which part of the brain that was damaged) Perception - being able to identify something in your environment. Cognition - formulate what your response is going to be.
