Balance
Holding or recovering a position under an appropriate level of challenge.
Sense, plan, move, adjust
Retraining how movement comes together
Neuromuscular re-education focuses on how movement is organized. Practice may target timing, coordination, balance, muscle activation, or control during a meaningful task.
Practice, notice, refine
Plain-language definition
What it means
The approach can use repeated movement, changes in position or surface, and visual, verbal, or hands-on feedback. The task starts at a level a person can practice safely and can change as control improves.
Inside the approach
What practice may emphasize
The task should match the movement problem found during evaluation rather than follow one universal routine.
Coordination
Organizing body parts together for a smoother task.
Timing
Practicing when a muscle group or movement should become active.
Task control
Applying the practice to standing, stepping, reaching, walking, or another activity.
A transparent visit
How the feedback loop can be built
You should be able to understand the purpose of an approach, participate in the decision, and ask how your response changes the plan.
- 01
Observe the task
The therapist watches where balance, timing, or control becomes difficult.
- 02
Simplify the challenge
The position, speed, support, or environment may be changed.
- 03
Add useful feedback
A cue, target, mirror, touch point, or repeated attempt may be used.
- 04
Build toward function
The task can become more similar to the activity you need to do.
Bring these questions
Make the plan easier to understand
- Which part of this task are we retraining?
- What cue should I pay attention to?
- How will the challenge be made easier or harder?
- Where should I use this strategy outside the clinic?
