Benefit from new protocols to challenge your clients.
The Unpredictable Command Technique (UCT) uses familiar and unfamiliar movements in random patterns to improve somatic awareness, voluntary movement, balance, coordination, agility and reaction time. Rather than using only one motor skill at a time, UCT uses multiple movements simultaneously. Rather than repeating a movement a set number of times in a consistent sequence, UCT uses a random sequence and a non-conforming number of repetitions. Protocols for varied dysfunctions included in this book. Complements the following educational material: UCT Audio Cassette.
In the Unpredictable Command Technique audiocassette David Ogden takes the listener through 45 minutes of sample UCT exercises. Precautions for safe movement, hints for progressions and pool safety comments are included in the session. Both sides of the cassette are the same. Perfect for at the pool and for clients to use on their own.
