Lecture 1: Overview of Motor Control

What is Motor Control?

The big picture...

Motor Behavior n An area of study stressing primarily the principles of human skilled movement generated at a behavioral level of analysis.

Motor Behavior: n Action n Perception n Cognition n Interaction of individual, task and environment.

Motor Control n An area of study dealing with the understanding of the neural, physiological and behavioral aspects of movements.

Two main aspects of motor control: n Stabilizing the body in space, postural and balance control. n Moving the body in space, movement.

Motor Learning n A set of internal processes associated with practice or experience leading to relatively permanent changes in the capability of motor skill.

Motor Development n A field of study concerning the changes in motor bahavior occuring as a result of growth, maturation and experience.

Individual Task Environment Motor control

Why should we study motor control? n Improving movement capability following injury to guide clinical intervention. n Improving motor performance. n Generating and building theory.

Theory vs. Model in Motor Control n A theory of motor control is a group of abstract ideas about the nature and cause of movement. n A model is a represetation of something, usually a simplified version of the real thing.

Theories of Motor Control

Reflex theory n The building blocks of complex behavior. n Sir Charles Sherrington, neurophisiologist (The Integrative Action of the Nervous System), n Classified the major responses to stimuli, and believed that most of the voluntary movements resulted from these fundamental reflexes.

Hierarchical Theory n Top - down structure n Reflexes are part of this hierarchy, normally higher centers inhibit them (Chart to be scanned) n Motor control emerges from reflexes, later on integrated with higher control levels. n Limitations

Motor programming theories n Sensory input not essential to drive movement but important function in modulating it. ** Try for yourself (signature) demo. n Limitations

Dynamical Systems theory n Bernstein-characteristics of acting systems, external and internal forces. n Distributed model of motor control-no need for higher center of control. n Interaction of elements, physical and neural components. n Limitations

Parallel distributed processing theory. n NS processes information in serial and parallel. n Limitations

Task oriented theories n Control of movement is organized around goal-directed functional behaviors such as walking or talking. n Limitations

Ecological theory. n How do we detect information in our environment that is important to our actions? n Limitations
