Impairment Training

Groups:

(a) Interventions should be

,

(b) Impairments within neuromuscular system

• System-specific

• Poor neuromuscular activation/communication

• Focus on a component of movement that created DYSFUNCTION in functional activity

• Abnormal tone/synergies

• Tremors

• Sensory input & processing

• Cognition

• Balance
