Motor control is defined as the ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to movement (Motor Control, Anne Shumway-Cook, Marjorie H. Woolacott, Wolters Kluwer, International Edition).
Understanding the nature of movement is one of the most crucial lessons for a Physical Therapy student and this specific book is a masterpiece every student should have.
During my studies in the European School of Physiotherapy at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, I created this small presentation of the ITE model based on the 1st chapter of the Motor Control book.
The ITE model is a conceptual model that suggests that movement of the individual is organized around him, the task he has to accomplish and the environment. Although it seems to be obvious, it takes a lot of deep undesrtanding of this model in order to really understand how movement is created in the body and then be able to deal with it as a Physical Therapist.
