SUMMARY:Primitive Reflexes Influencing Movement & Motor Behavior: How to Help Patients Move Better in Calgary\, Canada
DESCRIPTION:Course Description \nMovement is a foundation of physiotherapy rehabilitation. A sub group of patients have very poor coordination and this can interfere with traditional rehab (e.g.\, eloquently termed “motor morons” in Canada). Other patients just seem to have tightness in muscles that does not go way. This can be due to retained primitive reflexes. \n“It’s too simple – If someone has a problem with movement\,  \ngo back to when they learned how to move” \nPrimitive reflex inhibition are very gentle and easy to use strategies that can be applied right away in the clinic. \nPrimitive reflexes (PR) are brain stem-mediated\, complex automatic movement patterns that commence in utero.  If PR are present they will influence normal motor control and can interfere with normal rehabilitation. There are numerous causes of PR being present in neurologically intact adults (e.g.\, atypical birth history or developmental milestones especially walking and crawling; concussion). Numerous conditions are known to have retained primitive reflexes (e.g.\, ADHD\, Developmental Coordination Disorder\, dyslexia\, addictions\, scoliosis\, DM\, chronic LBP\, chronic WAD\, post concussion syndrome\, chronic shoulder pain\, stroke\, TBI). \nThe treatment of primitive reflexes can be used clinically in different ways to : \n\nreduce individual muscle tone in chronically short muscles (e.g.\, hamstrings\, gastrocnemius)\nincrease range of motion (e.g.\, upper cervical flexion\, glenohumeral joint medial rotation)\nimprove general coordination (e.g.\, clumsiness\, proprioception\, postural stability)\ntarget specific problems (e.g.\, toe walkers\, some torticollis)\nfacilitate pelvic floor rehab (e.g.\, pelvic floor asymmetry)\nimprove motor imagery (e.g.\, midline and musculoskeletal body image deficits)\nnormalize muscle tone (e.g.\, stroke)\n\nDuring this course we will cover the assessment and rehabilitation of PR in detail. Strategies for treatment in the clinic and home exercise will be covered.  Specific examples will be used to show how primitive reflex inhibition can immediately improve movement and motor behavior. \nThe course material has other uses for neurology\, concussion\, pediatrics and in helping regular clients learn exercises more quickly. \nThere are no pre-requisites for this course \nClinic host: Leading Edge Physiotherapy
