Developed by Carr and Shephard, this practical method emphasizes motor relearning by practicing task-specific motor activities while sitting, standing, or walking. Therapists analyze each task, determine which components the patient cannot perform or has difficulty performing, trains the patient in those components of the task, and ensures carryover of this training during daily activities. Treatment focuses on eliminating unnecessary muscle activity, subsequently expediting skilled motor activities. Lorish et al contends that the use of task-specific training programs tends to be more consistent with modern theories of motor relearning.
