Motor Control Training

Motor Control Training

Motor control refers to the process by which the brain initiates, directs, and fine-tunes voluntary movements. It involves improving control over movements and muscle activation patterns, helping children learn how to move with more precision and coordination.

• Motor Control Training:
  This training focuses on helping children develop better control over their movements through repeated practice, sensory experiences, and problem-solving in dynamic environments. By exposing children to various motor challenges, they learn new movement patterns and gradually progress from beginner to skilled performance.
• Motor Learning:
  Motor skills require the voluntary control of joints and body segments to perform tasks such as walking, jumping, running, and other activities like riding a bicycle or playing sports. The process of learning and refining these skills is known as motor learning. It is a continuous process throughout life, enabling individuals to improve their ability to execute complex tasks.

Motor control training helps children develop coordination, stability, and the ability to perform functional movements. By incorporating motor learning techniques, pediatric physiotherapists aim to improve the child’s ability to perform daily activities and recreational tasks, enhancing their independence and overall quality of life.
