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?
The sensory system can become less responsive (sensory adaptation) to a constant level of stimulation but more responsive to changes in stimulation. This allows the system to focus on detecting new or changing stimuli, which is important for survival and adapting to the environment.
What is the importance of adaptation in some sensory stimulation?
Adaptation in sensory stimulation is important as it allows our sensory systems to function optimally. It helps filter out irrelevant information and focus on important stimuli. Adaptation also prevents sensory overload and allows us to detect changes in our environment more effectively.
What structure is the effector for the somatic motor stimulation?
The effector for somatic motor stimulation is the skeletal muscle. Somatic motor neurons innervate these muscles, leading to voluntary movements. The motor unit, consisting of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates, is responsible for muscle contraction in response to somatic motor stimulation.
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 are the three classes of neuron?
The three classes of neurons are sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons. Sensory neurons transmit sensory information from sensory organs to the central nervous system (CNS), motor neurons carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to control movements, and interneurons facilitate communication between sensory and motor neurons within the CNS.
What are the desired responses elicited by electrical stimulation treatment?
Subsensory stimulation, sensory stimulation, motor stimulation, noxious response.
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.
What are the early sensory stimulation?

What types of sensory stimulation are commonly used in therapeutic practices for individuals with sensory processing disorders?
Common types of sensory stimulation used in therapeutic practices for individuals with sensory processing disorders include deep pressure touch, vestibular input (such as swinging or spinning), proprioceptive input (such as heavy work activities), tactile stimulation (such as brushing or massage), and auditory stimulation (such as calming music or white noise). These sensory inputs can help regulate the individual's sensory system and improve their ability to process and respond to sensory information.
What is the change in responsiveness of the sensory system based on the average level of surrounding stimulation?
The sensory system can become less responsive (sensory adaptation) to a constant level of stimulation but more responsive to changes in stimulation. This allows the system to focus on detecting new or changing stimuli, which is important for survival and adapting to the environment.
What is an aesthesis?
An aesthesis is an individual's awareness of sensory stimulation.
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.
What are the 5 steps to a reflex arc?
Arrival of stimulus, Activation of a sensory neuron, Information processing by an interneuron, Activation of a motor neuron, The response by an effector. Straight out of my anatomy text book.
What is the importance of adaptation in some sensory stimulation?
Adaptation in sensory stimulation is important as it allows our sensory systems to function optimally. It helps filter out irrelevant information and focus on important stimuli. Adaptation also prevents sensory overload and allows us to detect changes in our environment more effectively.
What does the voluntarily placing priorities on sensory messages refer to?
repetitous stimulation
