Task-Oriented Motor Relearning

The document describes the principles and methods of occupational therapy based on motor relearning. It focuses on actively training patients through repetitive functional tasks in realistic contexts to improve motor skills such as grasping and reaching for objects. The goal is for patients to learn effective strategies to perform useful movements in daily life.

subsequent training in functional activities and tasks.

EVALUATION AND
PLANNING OF THE
TREATMENT

The clinical evaluation is based on the detailed


analysis of the patient's abilities during the
performance of activities.
The objective of treatment should be relearning oriented to
specific tasks, that is, teaching the patient effective strategies
to achieve a functionally useful movement. The principle is
simple and intuitive: you learn what you practice. They
consider the patient an active participant in their recovery.
Instead of treating the patient, the goal is to train him.

The therapist must take into account:


> biomechanics of movement.

> The characteristics of the muscles involved in the


action.
> The environmental context in which it develops.
TREATMENT PLANS
V Simple and clear verbal instructions, associated if necessary, with non-
verbal communication.

•Visual demonstrations of how to perform the task.

V Manual guidance but avoiding unnecessary help and


progressively decreasing the level of supervision until independent
practice is achieved.

V Reinforcement and positive feedback when the action is


performed correctly.

V Repetitive
practice.
Motor Assessment Scale, scale aimed at assessing
the execution of functional tasks.

Consisting of eight items, corresponding to eight


areas of motor function.
1) Supine position to lateral position.
2) Supine position when sitting on the side of the
bed.
3) Balance at station headquarters.
4) From sitting to standing.
5) March.
6) Function of the upper movement.
7) Mov. Hand in hand
8) Actv. Complex manuals.
APPLICATIONS IN
NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS.

{ Initiate therapy as early as possible.


V Anticipate and prevent soft tissue contracture by
active, and if necessary, passive, means.
V Identify the essential muscles for the activity to
be re-educated and improve their properties
(strength and resistance)
> Modify the environment, if necessary, so that the
patient can train the task.

P Create the conditions for the patient to actively


integrate into relearning.

❖ Restriction techniques on the healthy side.


❖ Sensory stimulation.
❖ Retraining in bilateral tasks.
❖ Execution of purposeful activities.
Occupational therapists are specifically
qualified to design activities and
treatments that provide changes in the
ability to manipulate and reach objects, as
well as to design splints and environmental
adaptations to facilitate patient
performance, providing opportunities to
develop their motor skills .
■ 'RACTICALS |
® Motor relearning must be relevant to the patient,
the activities must be meaningful.
® In evaluations in the field of occupational therapy,
the patient is active in decision making.
® It is important that the training is carried out in a
real context, which is essential in the
rehabilitation process, so that the treatment of the
patient with brain damage is optimal.
FRAACIICASE ONENIALIONS
® Practice should be used randomly, it facilitates
the retention and transfer of motor learning.
The activities must be carried out in
different contexts and places, if the
training is very specific and is applied in
a certain way, motor learning or
relearning will not be able to be
transferred efficiently to the rest of the
contexts where the activities will be
carried out.
® Training must be repetitive.
® The rest period should be less than the practice
period, the more a skill is practiced, the better its
execution will be with the acquisition of learning.

® Most patients are cared for in hospital settings; at


home the level of skill practice decreases
.. .

® They must keep in


mind that training
must be practiced in
hospital centers and,
more importantly, at
home, with the same
intensity, in order to
obtain the desired
result.
