Neuromotor training approach to stimulate a damaged nervous system. Very important for patients who are unable to perform any purposeful and learned movements, even though they have no sensory loss. Basically, there is trouble understanding, decreased (or no) spatial awareness, 3 dimensional perception, understand how to use simple devices, etc.
The sensory motor techniques are used to reactivate the neuro-pathways through: quick stretch, tapping, vibration, light touch, EMG biofeedback, etc. Guided movements can also be used (like Christopher Reeves had done on a daily basis). The therapist would manually move affected limbs in different range of motions, etc.
There is much more to it than this, but hopefully it gives you a general idea. Maybe this post will get the ball rolling for other practitioners to add to the discussion....

What is the change in responsiveness of the sensory system based on the average level of surrounding stimulation?
sensory adaptation
What is between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
sensory has to do with your smell tast motor has to do with your moving around and you acttion
What system comprises the sensory and motor neurons?
The peripheral nervous system comprises the sensory and motor neurons.
What is the importance of adaptation in some sensory stimulation?
A long term stimulation of constant intensity, the receptor will after a while adapt and not make any notice of the stimuli.
How do sensory and motor neurons differ?
Sensory control your five senses and motor control movements.
What are the desired responses elicited by electrical stimulation treatment?
Subsensory stimulation, sensory stimulation, motor stimulation, noxious response.
What are the early sensory stimulation?
tae
A reflex arc begins with the stimulation of a what?
A reflex arc begins with the stimulation of a sensory receptor such as those on the skin. The stimulus is then passed as an electrical impulse along sensory, relay and motor neurones (by-passing the brain) before reaching an effector orgen, like a muscle, which then responds to the stimulus.
When continued sensory stimulation causes sensory receptors to desensitize and stops responding?
Bch
What is an aesthesis?
An aesthesis is an individual's awareness of sensory stimulation.
What is the change in responsiveness of the sensory system based on the average level of surrounding stimulation?
sensory adaptation
A knee-jerk reflex employs motor neurons and what?
it employs sensory and motor neurons
How are motor and sensory neurons categorized?
Motor Neuron and Sensory Neuron
What is A phenomenon found in sensory perception in which the receptors gradually stop responding to continuous stimulation?
Sensory adaptation
What are similarities between sensory and motor neuron?
Motor neuron has got a motor.. but you have to peddle sensory neurons.
When a patient is unable to respond to any sensory stimulation its defined as what?
unconscious
What does the voluntarily placing priorities on sensory messages refer to?
repetitous stimulation
