During this introductory chapter, J.J. Mowder-Tinney defines motor learning and basic motor learning principles. Also a comparison of three different theories in the motor learning literature is discussed.

In this chapter, participants will identify two assessment findings of an individual and its impact on designing an intervention. Participants will also design two treatments to emphasize patient engagement.

This follow up chapter to ‘Strategies at the Person Level’ will give the participant the tools to define part versus whole training in the context of two different intervention ideas. J.J. Mowder-Tinney describes how to adjust two different interventions to incorporate dual task training, and compares three different types of task specific training.

Learn about the next steps to solidify your motor learning strategies. Learn about the additional courses offered by J.J. Mowder-Tinney in this course series, as well as recommended references and worksheets to practice cueing your patient.

In this chapter, J.J. Mowder-Tinney discusses the appropriateness of integrating variability into the plan of care. Variability is discussed through problem solving and the challenge point framework to keep the learner actively involved in problem solving during the process of finding movement solutions. Two different options for feedback are discussed along with their impact on function.

A learner’s focus of attention can be either internal, monitoring the way they move, or external, focusing on the actions of their movements and if the goal was achieved. J.J. Mowder-Tinney explores a comparison of two different cueing options to switch from internal to external focus of attention to increase effectiveness and efficiency of movement.

Intensity incorporated into mobility training provides four benefits, which will be discussed throughout this chapter. Learners will be able to gauge the level of intensity based on a patient’s heart rate, as well as use seven dimensions of challenge to adapt a mobility-training program.

J.J. Mowder-Tinney explains the importance of self-control cueing to keep your patient engaged and challenge themselves in motor learning. This practice session gives you quick and easy steps to facilitate your patient's involvement in their therapy. Starting from the beginning, keep your patient engaged and allow them to challenge themselves throughout the rehabilitation process.

This chapter introduces a patient with balance deficits, Nancy. J.J. Mower-Tinney uses this case study to identify three priority impairments of this patient with balance deficits. Several functional tests and assessments are used to identify the different impairments.

After a identifying the patient’s key impairments, this chapter discusses the motor learning considerations for the patient. The chapter teaches users the seven key considerations to take into account for motor learning and emphasizes the importance of measuring change, improvement and outcomes. Finally, the chapter integrates two interventions that use motor learning principles in the acute and acute rehabilitation setting.

When a patient is later in the rehabilitation process, therapists need to utilize interventions that incorporate motor learning principles that are appropriate for the long-term care, outpatient, and home care setting. This chapter discusses two intervention options that use motor learning principles that are appropriate for later stages of the rehabilitation process.

This chapter introduces a patient following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), John. J.J. Mower-Tinney uses this case study to identify three priority impairments of this patient following TKA. Several functional tests and assessments are used to identify the different impairments.

After a identifying the patient’s key impairments, this chapter discusses the motor learning considerations for the patient. The chapter teaches users the seven key considerations to take into account for motor learning and emphasizes the importance of measuring change, improvement and outcomes. Finally, the chapter integrates two interventions that use motor learning principles in the acute and post-acute rehabilitation setting.

When a patient is later in the rehabilitation process, therapists need to utilize interventions that incorporate motor learning principles that are appropriate for the long-term care, outpatient, and home care setting. This chapter discusses two intervention options that use motor learning principles that are appropriate for later stages of the rehabilitation process.

This chapter introduces a post-stroke patient, Jan. J.J. Mower-Tinney uses this case study to identify three priority impairments of this patient after stroke. Several functional tests and assessments are used to identify the different impairments.

After a identifying the patient’s key impairments, this chapter discusses the motor learning considerations for the patient. The chapter teaches users the seven key considerations to take into account for motor learning and emphasizes the importance of measuring change, improvement and outcomes. Finally, the chapter integrates two interventions that use motor learning principles in the acute and post-acute rehabilitation setting.
