Theoretical base/ principles of motor learning

neuroplasticity, client centered, emphasis on functional tasks

function according to motor learning

successful reaching, grasping, moving and manipulation, and release

How is change created in motor learning

1) provide a challenging, but not impossible task

2) promote independent problem solving to improve cognition

intervention in motor learning theory

constraint induced movement therapy and task-specific training
