A baseball player is at bat getting ready for a swing. As the ball approaches, what is an example of a vestibular sense taking place? #EXS3030

A swimmer is preparing for an upcoming meet. Outside of the pool, they do preparation. Each night they set aside 10 minutes to visualize each second of their 200 freestyle where they focus heavily on details and skill. What kind of imagery is this? #EXS3030

@cmjohnson_OU As the patient was walking it was clear that her steps were small and no arm swing was present. While she was turning around to walk the other way it took her multiple steps to complete the turn. Her posture is also slightly stooped as she walks.

@docgoble The frontal cortex receives information and processes it to make quick decisions and plan voluntary movement. The girl watched the ball project her way. She was able to process that information and make a voluntary movement to step up on the wall. (29 seconds)

@docgoble Vestibular: The man had to maintain balance while running and jumping to get enough momentum to spike the ball over the net. While stepping forward and jumping, his vestibular senses kept him steady and aligned with his intended movement. (time 6 sec)

@JasonWilson173 @YouTube I think this is very interesting because when you place electrodes on muscles they can stimulate a response in such a way that it can produce sound. It is also a very interesting way to show muscle electrical activation through sound just by stimulation.

@____Juiceee When you think about an F1 driver, you wouldn't think about the characteristics needed to be successful. When they talk about reaction time, it was interesting how they train with lights. Secondly, neck size is important for bracing for a crash and leg strength for stopping.

I am taking #EXS3030 @OaklanduSHS with @docgoble because I am very interested in physical therapy and how the body moves! This course will provide the knowledge and experience needed for my future career..
