Through Game Play Discover how games, with strategic rules and feedback, can improve your clients’ balance, coordination, and strength, aspects that often decline as we age. This webinar provides a guide for using game-based exercises to not only enhance physical abilities, cognition, but also to build confidence and reduce the anxiety of falling. Come away with the tools needed to create unique games your clients .
1. Target-Based Games: Encourage clients to move towards or away from specified points, improving reactive balance, precision and motor control.
2. Obstacle Games:
Introduces complexity through adaptable height challenges, environmental challenges, encouraging unconscious learning and adaptation where possible.
3. Quantitative Games :
Tasks that must be completed within a set timeframe, fostering endurance, cognition, and motor skill application.
4. Reaction-Focused Games: Require quick, adaptive responses to unexpected external cues, increasing agility, reactive balance, cognition and motor skill application.
While enhancing bone density and muscle strength is crucial, these will happen as you challeng your clients motor skill acquisition. Giving you the opportunity to incorporate reactive balance training and addresses the heightened risk of falling among older adults more directly.
Merging tasks that require strength, power, coordination, and cognition offers a holistic approach to fall prevention, significantly enhancing quality of life by enabling individuals to better adapt to and interact with their surroundings. This strategy not only minimizes fall risk but also enriches the overall movement experience.
Thank you for joining me as we explored motor skill learning through game. It involves an understanding of the central nervous system’s which has a critical role in processing skills, influenced by factors such as past experiences, fatigue, sleep quality and much more. If you are someone who likes to get into the detail and would like to dig deeper into the topics we have touched on and advance from a traditional mechanical perspective; interested in mechanics, anatomy, emotion, and experience, you may want to consider the upcoming 12-week Motor Skill Application Specialist program with me.
