Mngmt of Neuro

The neurological process that organizes sensation from one's own body and from the environment and makes it possible to use this information to plan and organize behavior.

The ability to understand what needs to be done, plan how to do it, and get it done.

- A response that matches the demands of the task.
- Purposeful and goal directed result from sensory input.

- Disorganized processing of sensory information results in inadequate, excessive, or inaccurate information from muscles, tendons, and joints.
- Failure in the process of organizing information and directing an adaptive response.

Ideation

What are 3 patterns of dysfunctions identified with Sensory Inrtegrative Dysfunction?

- Appear clumsy - stumble and bump into things.
- Poor placement of extremities for WB.
- Poor muscle co-contraction and holding against gravity.
- Difficulty grading movement.
- Seeks proprioceptive sensations.

- Overresponds to physical contact such as hugs.
- Uncomfortable running, jumping, using large movements.
- Avoids activities requiring movement of body parts: jumping, hanging from a bar.

- Gives information about the body positions that arise as a result of an individuals own movement.
- Develops through WB and movement.
- Critical in maturation of reflexes, particularly righting and equilibrium responses.

- Awareness of position and orientation in space.
- Regulation of eye position during head movement to stabilize the image.
- Influences muscle tone for postural support, primarily extensor tone.

- Alerts the person to danger.
- Gives information about the immediate surroundings.
- Guides the exploration of the environment.
- Assists in developing body sheme.
- Associates with emotions via the limbic system.
