The Sensory Systems and Their Role in Motor Control

The human experience is shaped by our ability to perceive the world around us through our senses. Without sensation we would be unable to recognize our surroundings or move efficiently within it. This course provides an exploration of the sensory systems responsible for perceiving and processing sensory information from the body through the spinal cord to the brain. We will examine the anatomy and organization of these pathways, and learn how the brain integrates sensory information to form our body awareness and influence movement.

A deeper understanding of the sensory systems will help you to build targeted programs for clients, improve their body awareness or sense of self, and tailor exercises based on their response to movement. When clients feel more integrated and connected, there is a change in movement expression.

Learning objectives

  • Explore the neural pathways responsible for conveying sensory information such as vision, touch and movement to the cerebral cortex for processing
  • Learn how the brain processes sensory input and integrates it to shape our motor behaviours
  • Learn practical strategies and exercises to improve sensory integration, producing better actions

Note: The Somatic Nervous System and the Sensory Receptors is a pre-requisite for this course.
