How much motor activity can be reduced in cases of catatonic stupor?
In catatonic stupor, motor activity may be reduced to zero.
What motor unit has the fewest muscle fibers?
One that isn't needed for precise movement. Muscles that need precise control have motor units with more muscle fibers.
What has the author Richard A Schmidt written?
Richard A. Schmidt has written: 'Motor control and learning' -- subject(s): Learning, Motor Activity, Motor Skills, Motor learning, Psychology of Movement 'Motor learning and performance' -- subject(s): Kinesthesis, Learning, Motor Activity, Motor learning, Psychomotor Performance, Textbooks
What does hyperkinesia mean?
abnormally increased motor function or activity.
What is the amount of stimulus required to successfully recruit all the muscle fibers into developing active force?
The amount of stimulus required to recruit all muscle fibers for maximal active force depends on several factors, including the type of muscle, the intensity of the stimulus, and the specific motor unit recruitment patterns. Generally, a sufficiently high intensity of stimulation, often exceeding the threshold for motor unit activation, is needed to recruit all available muscle fibers. This is typically achieved through high-intensity resistance training or maximal voluntary contractions, which activate larger motor units and subsequently recruit smaller ones. Additionally, factors like muscle fatigue and the rate of stimulation can influence recruitment efficiency.
What is meant by motor peripheral nerves?
peripheral nerves are either motor, meaning that they are involved in motor activity such as walking, or sensory, meaning that they carry sensory information back to the CNS
What is motor program?
The set of coordinated commands that control the programmed muscle activity mediated by extapyramidal pathways is often called a motor program.
What are Grand mal seizures with unconsciousness and excessive motor activity known as?
Tonic Clonic
What type of molecule is ATP synthetase?
ATP synthetase is an enzyme that is a type of molecular motor which facilitates the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria.
What is motor ability?
Gross motor ability refers to the movement of large parts of your body. For example, swinging your arms is a gross motor activity. In contrast, fine motor activity refers to more detailed movements made with smaller parts of your body. For example, moving your fingers to pick up something small requires fine motor activity. Infants typically develop control over gross motor movements before fine motor movements. Example, they can swing their arms and kick their legs before they are able to pinch something between their thumb and forefinger.
What synaptic inputs might influence the activity of spinal motorneurons?
Synaptic inputs from upper motor neurons, sensory afferents, and interneurons can influence the activity of spinal motor neurons. Upper motor neurons regulate voluntary movements, sensory afferents provide feedback on muscle length and tension, and interneurons help coordinate complex motor patterns.
What is hypoactivity?
- the diminished activity of the body and its organs- decreased motor and cognitive, with slowing of thought and speech
