How common is Functional Neurological Disorder?
FND is considered a rare disease. However, the exact prevalence is unknown, and the mechanisms that cause FND continue to be poorly understood despite its prevalence within neurological clinics. Some researchers claim that functional symptoms are often seen in neurological services, making it a common disorder. One report indicates approximately 1/3 of outpatient neurology clinic attendances are patients reporting functional symptoms.

Mastering a skill? 200-300 trials of a novel task are required to improve performance. If your exercise or rehabilitation is focused on perfecting a movement pattern or skilled task, aim to perform 20 repetitions for 5 sets. It takes up to 60 minutes of practice a day for several weeks to learn a motor skill.
Happy Practice!

How do we learn motor skills or recover motor skills after injury? Motor learning 🤓.
Intensity, meaningful activity and feedback are important components of motor learning. If you work hard at something you care about and see progress, you’ll see your neuroplasticity at work!
Stay tuned for more information on these principles of motor learning.

Wondering how you can enhance your rehabilitation? Introducing the OPTIMAL theory for motor learning. This theory highlights the importance of what the learner wants to achieve and how skilled movement can achieve that goal. The four principles of this theory are: self-efficacy, enhanced expectancies, autonomy and attention. Over my next few posts I’ll talk about each one of these principles.
