Movement
When you care enough to send
the very best.
All Responses Involve Movement
Raising your hand.
Saying “yes” or “no”.
Walking away (or toward).
Doing “the wave”.
Punching out a chad.
Typing out an email.
Units of Movement
Voluntary Movements (skilled: feedback important)
most movements are a combination of voluntary and
involuntary (ex: walking)
Ballistic Movements
Reflexes-consistent automatic responses to stimuli
Feedback not as important
Skilled
Movement
Feedback important
Correct mistakes
Get better with practice

Dog with
an Itch
Ballistic Movement:
launched by
stimulus
Little attention to
feedback
A dog and his bone.

Prefrontal Lobe Damage
Lack of care and concern
Emotional blunting
Poor planning
Inability to complete tasks
Inability to change plans as need arises.
Poor social skills and bonding
Premotor
Cortex
KW 10-3
Premotor Cortex: Functions
Organizing Motor Sequences
Praxis = action
Apraxia = lack of action
Testing for motor sequences
Making a pot of coffee
Kimura apparatus
Broca’s area
Located in premotor cortex
Organizes movements of speech
Damage causes motor aphasia
Poor articulation

Control of Movement
Muscles and their Movement
Muscle Control by Proprioceptors
proprioceptors-receptor that is sensitive to the position or
movement of a part of the body
muscle spindle-receptor parallel to the muscle that
responds to the stretch of the muscle
golgi tendon organ-responds to increases in muscle tension
Sensory receptors for movement
KW 10-23
Proprioceptors 1
Muscle Spindle
Muscle Spindle brings about muscle contraction
When a muscle is stretched, the nerves from the muscle spindles transmit an
increased frequency of impulses, resulting in a contraction
of the surrounding muscle.
Knee jerk reflex
KW 10-27
Proprioceptors 2
Golgi Tendon Organ
GTO’s tell muscle to take it easy
Contraction of the muscle stimulates the Golgi tendon organ, which
acts as a brake or shock absorber to prevent a contraction
that is too quick or extreme.

Basal Ganglia
Connections from the substantia nigra: (a) normal and
(b) in Parkinson’s disease
Excitatory paths are shown in green; inhibitory are in red.
People with Parkinson’s disease show decreased initiation of movement, slow and
inaccurate movement, and psychological depression.
Parkinson’s Disease
Symptoms-rigidity, muscle tremors, slow movement, difficulty
initiating movement
Brain Changes-Selective loss of cells in substantia nigra and
amygdala/decrease in dopamine
Possible Causes
genetics
exposure to toxins (MPTP)
Parkinson’s Disease
L-Dopa Treatment
precursor for dopamine
demonstrates individual effectiveness
does not stop progression of the disease
numerous side effects (nausea, restlessness, sleep
problems, low blood pressure, hallucinations, and
delusions)
Therapies Other Than L-Dopa
Pallidotomy
Cell transplants
Deep brain stimulation
