Neuromuscular Neutral Zone
Changes with Pathology
The NNZ will be greater with collagen
trauma or with cyclical loading of
mechanoreceptors, creating a
desensitization that might lead to a
significant loss of stiffening of the
lumbar spine from muscle contraction,
leaving the spine unstable and
unprotected.

Motor Control Issues
• Hodges and Richardson (1996) looked at healthy and
LBP individuals and feedforward activation of TrA with
upper limb movement.
• Significantly lower activity in patients.
• Dysfunction of motor control may lead to decreased
stability and segmental stiffening.
• Possibly due to reflex inhibition from pain, effusion,
ligament or capsule stretch, or possible CNS
mechanisms as well.

OGI
Motor Control Changes
• O’Sullivan et al. (1997) confirmed with clinical
test that CLBP patients with spondylolysis or
spondylolisthesis had poorer ability to
appropriately recruit their deeper abdominals.
• Using surface EMG, the control group had
significantly greater activity in their IO than
their RA during the drawing in maneuver
compared to patients.
• Patients had poorer ability to selectively
activate deep abdominals, “robbing them of
needed segmental stability”.
OGI
Lower Quarter Instability
• O’Sullivan et al. (1998) had 2 groups of patients with LBP:
the control group did general activity and the
experimental specific exercise group (SEG)
• The SEG group had a significant increase (p=0.013) in IO
activity during the drawing in maneuver compared to
before intervention
• The control subjects who performed curl-ups
significantly increased the activity of the RA during the
testing.
• This shift in synergy might reflect a neurological change,
altering the motor program for recruitment.
• In a different study the same authors shows that the SEG
had significantly decrease pain intensity and functional
deficit scores.

• A single lumbopelvic joint manipulation has been
shown to acutely increase quadriceps force output and

Motor Learning Suggestions
• Manual Techniques: Soft tissue work and
mobilization and manipulation
• Minimize cognative participation of patient
• Exercise for normalization: address tissue repair,
pain inhibition, edema reduction, joint mobilization,
range of motion
• Exercise for performance enhancement:
coordination, motor learning, endurance, speed,
strength and functional skill
• Do not focus on specific muscles or
movement
• Minimize feedback
• Provide external attention focus for
instruction and feedback
• Education

Skill Acquisition
Pay Attention
• Long recognized that being too concerned with or
paying attention to one’s movements can disrupt the
performance of well-practiced skills (Bliss 1892–1893, Boder,
• Two types of focus for
motor skill learning:
- Internal Attention
Focused
- External Attention
Focused
1935).
• Anecdotal evidence suggests expert performers do not
concentrate on their movement pattern when performing a
highly practiced skill, but perform the skill automatically
(Gallwey 1982, Garfield and Bennett 1985).
• May not be effective to instruct learners to be
consciously aware of their body movements during the
execution of a skill (Singer 1985/1988, Singer and Suwanthada 1986).

It’s All About Me
It’s Not All About Me
• Internal attention
focus: Attention is often
focused internally on
range of motion,
flexibility, specific
muscle recruitment,
strength performance or
endurance.
OGI
• External attention
focus: focusing the
learners’ attention on the
effects of their
movements or the effects
on an apparatus or
implement.
OGI
Negative Attention Focus
External Attention Focus
• Therapists may focus too much on training individual
muscles, delaying acquisition of functional skills or patterns
• Singer et al. (1993) demonstrated that
“nonawareness” strategies produce more effective
performance during acquisition of a new skill.
• Focusing on a person's own body movement, can be
detrimental to the performance of well-learned skill as well
as learning new skills (McNevin et al. 2000).
• Evidence for the notion that consciously directing
attention to one’s movements (Baumeister 1984, Masters 1992), is
detrimental for performance…
• Whereas preventing learners from focusing on the details
of their actions results in more effective performance and
learning (Hardy et al. 1996, Maxwell et al. 2000, Singer et al. 1993).
OGI
Rivard/Kay: Ola Grimsby Institute 2009
• Nonawareness strategies instruct learners to perform
a task without consciously attending to the movement
pattern, while awareness strategies require the learner
to consciously attend.
• The emphasis is placed on the body's affect on the
external environment not internally on the body itself.

Balance Training
Balance Training
• Riley measured postural sway, standing upright,
eyes closed, touching a curtain very lightly with
their fingertips.
• Standing on stabilometer
with finger tip touch
hanging sheet
• A curtain was used because it would not provide
any mechanical support for posture.
• Internal Focus: ‘‘Try to
minimize movement of the
index finger over the
duration of the trial’’.
• External Focus: ‘‘Try to
minimize movement of the
sheet over the duration of
the trial’’.
• Touching the curtain significantly reduced
postural fluctuation, as compared with not touching
it —but only when the participants were asked to
minimize movements of the curtain (external
attention).

Basketball Free Throw
External Biceps Attention
• Executed faster (greater angular velocity) - even though
speed was not a goal of the prescribed task.
• A 2nd experiment within the study controlled for speed
• During the initial repetitions iEMG activity was lower with
an external focus reflecting a greater economy in
movement production
• “Thus, it appears that the adoption of an external focus
indeed results in the production of more economical
movements than does the adoption of an internal focus”.
OGI
External Focus-Free Throw
• Free throw accuracy was
greater when participants
adopted an external
compared to internal focus.
• Internal focus condition:
“concentrate on the
“snapping” motion of their
wrist during the followthrough of the free throw
shot.”
• EMG activity of the biceps
and triceps muscles was
lower with an external

leg to the front leg.
• Shortly before hitting the ball,
shift your weight toward the

• Does he or she begin the forward motion of
the hitting arm by rotating the trunk forward?
• Does he or she accelerate the lower arm

• Is the arch of the back released quickly and
forcefully?
• Is a hip flexion visible?

Internal-focus feedback
• Position your foot below the

• Position your bodyweight and
the nonkicking foot behind the
ball.
• Lock your ankle down and use
the instep to strike the ball.
• Keep your knee bent as you
swing your leg back, and

• To strike the ball, the swing of
the leg should be as long as
possible.

Attention-Feedback-Retention
External-focus feedback
• Strike the ball below its
midline to lift it; that is, kick
underneath it.
• Be behind the ball, not over it,
and lean back.
• Stroke the ball toward the
target as if passing to another
player.
• Use a long-lever action like
the swing of a golf club before
contact with the ball.
• To strike the ball, create a
pendulum-like motion with as
long a duration as possible.

Results for both experiments:
• External focus superior results to
internal focus.
• Reduced feedback frequency was

temporary but were also seen after

Coaching and Feedback
• Learning is enhanced with the perception of
self-control (Janelle et al. 1995 and 1997).
• Learners should even be able to decide when
and how frequently they want feedback.
• If learning is taking place, less feedback
should be required over time (Janelle 1997).
• Constant feedback can be detrimental to the
learning process (Winstein et al. 1990).
• Reduce the amount/frequency of feedback

Take Home Message
• Find your language or external attention focus instruction

• If not already doing so, expand treatment model for the
biomechanical chain and the myokinematic chain.
• Incorporate spinal manipulation for motor facilitation, even

• Try secondary force moments with current exercises you
already are using.
• Try changing secondary force moment with each set of an
