Motor Control Intervention

Design and justify an evidence-based motor control intervention plan. The
intervention will be targeted at a specific population (chosen by the student) and will aim to address, at

most, two specific issues (where more issues exist, please prioritise) over a maximum of a five week

period. Motor Control theories should be taken from those found in Unit 5 (instruction and augmented

feedback, chapters 14 & 15) and unit 6 (practice conditions, chapters 16-19) of the prescribed text (list

also seen below).

  • Demonstration and verbal instructions
  • Augmented feedback
  • Practice variability and specificity
  • The amount and distribution of practice
  • Whole or part practice
  • Mental practice
  • Internal or external focus of attention (chapter 9 can also be chosen)
    Each student has the freedom to select their own 'population' and 'specific issues'. Examples from last

year included groups such as the elderly, pre-school children, pregnant mothers, stroke victims, youth

sport settings, elite sport and many more
