Motor Control Ability Assessment & Proprioceptive Sensory
Motor Training with Sean Gibbons:
Do your patients understand the exercises, education and
information you give them?
(See below for who this course is aimed, course dates and previous participant
reviews)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to a slower than hoped for response to this course and the evening lecture
on 13th May date, which Sean
was also doing, and to prevent inconveniencing both participants and Sean, we are postponing
both events until 2009. We are so sorry for any inconvenience.
Please email us with your interest and as soon as we know the new details we can
let you know. Course Description
We have
all learned motor control exercises before, but sometimes it is difficult to
apply to clinical practice. This may be because it is hard to problem solve,
difficult to know where to start and where to progress, some clients are hard to
teach and some just don’t appear to get it. Regardless of your experience
level, this course Regardless of your experience level, this course will help
you make an informed decision about which of these applies.
A sub
group of patients have difficulty understanding the exercises or education we
give them. These patients have significant deficits in proprioception and
sensory motor function, learning skills, and have primitive reflexes in the
nervous system. Research shows that there is a strong relationship between
proprioception, sensory motor function and cognitive function. The presence of
primitive reflexes significantly affects normal motor control and makes it
difficult for patients to learn specific motor control exercise.
During
this two day course, the clinical application of sensory motor testing and
proprioception is described in detail along with relevant physiology. This
includes the relationship of sensory motor function and proprioception to pain,
motor unit recruitment, muscle stiffness, muscle imbalance, sense of effort and
fatigue. The relationship between learning difficulties and sensory motor
function is also covered along with the relationship to pain coping and fear
avoidance.
The Motor
Control Abilities Questionnaire is an instrument developed to identify patients
who have difficulty understanding stability and movement control exercises. The
use of this questionnaire will be described and how sensory motor rehabilitation
can be used to improve cognitive function. The assessment and rehabilitation of
evidence based tests of sensory motor function are reviewed along with five key
primitive reflexes. The categories of learning styles are emphasised along with
a structured model for clinical problem solving. The course emphasises
appropriate clinical starting points and suitable progression of therapeutic
exercise.
-
Understand the learning process and apply suitable learning styles in
rehabilitation
-
Appreciate the types of motor and cognitive dysfunctions that occur with
pain
-
Identify clients who will unlikely progress with specific stability
exercises by using the Motor Control Abilities Questionnaire and with a
sensory motor assessment
-
Assess and rehabilitate several primitive reflexes and recognise how they
influence movement, stability and cognitive function
-
Prescribe exercises for patients to improve cognitive learning function
- Apply
problem solving strategies to make exercises easier and harder for all
patients
Who is this course aimed at?
This course is aimed at all musculoskeletal therapists and those who teach
exercise.
