Document Summary
Our mental functions are compromised when we have a disability or impairment. Mental functions: special mental functions (higher level cognitive, attention, memory, perception, thought, mental functions of sequencing complex movement, emotional, experience of self and time) and global mental functions (consciousness, orientation, temperament and personality). Energy and drive impacts of disability: it takes more energy and motivation to want to do things. Chronic illnesses have an impact on motivation. it is easier to stay home. The vestibular system involves sensations related to position, balance, and movement against gravity. The body structures and functions and mental functions equally get impacted with the presence of a disability. It is not only about the one body system which is impacted. Group assignment: a letter of intent for development of a program for a chronic condition. It is a preliminary literature review and proposal for program development. You have to write a letter and make a video.
