Activity, activity, activity new approach in CP

[illuminatidinesh]

That is obvious, I did study a whole lot of older motor control theories and I understand where they differ from what we achieved today. We make it a point that not to commit the same mistakes which they did. We try to learn from them. Yes U were spot on with that point.

Hy everybody,
Just discovered the forum and this thread. Glanced trough all posts and hope to participate and add some to this interesting and important discussion.(thanks esther and all others). I work mainly with children with cp mostly combined with a light to moderate mental handicap. Discovered motor control and learning (shumway-woolacott; schmidt and lee; dynamic systems) about 10 years ago, and found it in the last 5 years a foundation for the therapy I implement. Seeing the Group I work with, I think it is important not to work to cognitively, but use mainly implicit learning and play. I didn’t find to much literature on this. Can anybody help me with that?
Also, In the flemish part of belgium motor learning is a fairly new approach. The main focus on therapy, in my opinion, is still avoiding secundary impairments and practice “normal” movement. Definitely when orthopedic docters come into play. Can anybody help me with some supporting literature? This to support my work with evidence based, scientific arguments of the motor control and learning, and being able to discuss with arguments based on literature in this population?
Thanks,
wilfried
