Theory of Motor Control: Dynamic System Theo RY

The dynamic systems theory attempts to mathematically describe self-organizing systems where behavior is nonlinear. It aims to predict how a system will act in different situations using these formulas. It minimizes the importance of commands from the central nervous system to control movement, instead searching for physical explanations. Limitations include an inability to explain the role of the nervous system or focus on interaction with the environment. Clinical implications include helping patients regain ease of movement using momentum and considering interacting impairments when treating brain lesions.

Dynamic Systems Theory by Bernstein, 1967

The dynamic action theory attempts to find mathematical


descriptions of such self-organizing systems in which behavior is
non-linear, meaning that when one of the parameters changes and
reaches a critical value, the entire system transforms into a
completely new configuration of behavior. By using these
mathematical formulas, it will be possible to predict the ways in
which a given system will act in different situations.
The dynamic action theory minimizes the importance of
the idea that the CNS sends commands to control
movement, and it searches for physical explanations that
may also contribute to the characteristics of movement.
Degrees of freedom of bone and joint need to be
controlled. Coordination of movement is the process of
mastering the degrees of freedom of moving organism.
Limitations: unable to explain

• The nervous system has a fairly


unimportant role
• It does not focus as heavily on the
interaction of the organism with the
environment
Clinical implications

• Help the retraining of a weak patient to move with greater ease with
the use of momentum by interaction between speed and physical
properties of the body
• For the brain lesion patient, the therapist must be careful to examine
and give intervention by considering the effect of interacting
impairments among multiple system including the musculoskeletal
system and neural system.
the cognitive stage

CHARACTERISTCS
• Movements are slow, inconsistent and inefficient.
• Considerable cognitive activity is required.

ATTENTION DEMANDS
• Attention to understand what must move to produce a specific result.
• Large parts of the movement are controlled consciously
ACTIVITIES
Practice sessions are:
• performance focused
• less variable
• incorporate a clear mental image (technical & visual).
