EXTRA CREDITS: “External-Focus Exercise & Exergaming”
Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
Wednesday Apr 03, 2024
Compliance with therapeutic exercise programs is generally poor, with over 70% of (low back) patients failing to perform their prescribed exercises. One of the many reasons for this poor compliance may be the frequent use of an internal focus exercise approach, which is often experienced as boring, repetitive, pointless, and non-productive. This course will challenge current belief systems about exercise and the way you practice and prescribe therapeutic exercise. This brief session integrates contemporary research, including the OPTIMAL Theory of Motor Learning, exergaming technology, and pain science into a new therapeutic conditioning and exercise method using primarily an external-focus approach. Compared to internal focus exercise programs, directed at the performer’s own body movements, external focus programs, directed at the effects of movement on the environment, have immediate beneficial effects on performance, retention, and transfer. Improvements are observed in movement effectiveness and efficiency, self-efficacy, confidence, automaticity of control, and overall cognitive function.
Jan Dommerholt, PT, DPT, President/CEO of Myopain Seminars shares his insight and expertise on "External-Focus Exercise & Exergaming."
What to expect:
Objectives:
By the end of this lecture participants will be able to:
- Discuss three main aspects of the OPTIMAL Theory of Motor Learning
- Describe four advantages of an external-focus exergaming approach
- Design individualized external-focus exercise programs for patients of all ages
- Contrast four essential differences between internal and external - focus exercise programs
