Document Summary
Neuromuscular can be 2-3+ because you can"t over train in this area. Not a minimum of 20 minutes, you can go below or above. Types would be postural or sensory can focus on balance that requires coordination, gait and proprioception. Volume and progression = tbd because there is no research on those boxes. Increased independence: neuromotor training involves gross motor training, in the 5 areas (balance, gait, coordination, agility, proprioception). Combined this training is called functional training which is different from cardiorespiratory or muscular training: basic idea is to progressively stress the neuromuscular system with stressors of increasing difficulty in 3 domains. Domain #1: base of support: narrow the base of support, older adults who are frail are really scared of falling. Hold these positions for 15 seconds without tipping. Posture 1 = assisted with a strong stable chair with arms and wide base. Posture 2 = feet apart with no assistive device.
