Task-oriented rehabilitation exercises are the core of physiotherapy. The repetitive practice of a functional task can result in a great improvement in function and motor skills.
Indeed, constant exercise enhances performance. Repeated task-oriented rehabilitation provides the nervous system with opportunities to estimate the state of the body. The integration of consistency with movement goals produces ordered, regulated, progressive motor commands. It also adjusts motor output based on sensory feedback.
The scientific fundamentals of the task-oriented rehabilitation exercise are based on the principles of the plasticity of the motor cortex dependent on experience. It is important to assist the patient in sorting out the key factors of a task. (such as pace and distance). Motivation is also important. Therapists have to provide positive verbal feedback with each small improvement of these components.
Multiple efficacy studies in relation to the intensity of task-oriented rehabilitation have been done. They proved that this type of intervention was found in patients with more than 20 hours of exercise compared to patients with 0 to 20 hours of exercise.
The task-oriented rehabilitation method’s objective is to make the patient able to perform voluntary movements, such as reaching a distant object while sitting or bringing a spoon to his mouth.
Shortly put, The objectives of task-specific training are: to promote the acquisition of skills, strength, speed, coordination, and modulation of effort.
