The MOTIFS model modifies Care-as-Usual rehabilitation to create sport-specific exercises individualized to the needs and goals of the patient using as many aspects of PETTLEP motor imagery as possible | ||
---|---|---|
1 | Discuss | A realistic scenario is created through discussion between the PT and patient based on the rehabilitation movement and meaningful and relevant aspects of the participant’s prior experiences |
2 | Create | An exercise is created by both the PT and patient which simulates the individualized and realistic scenario |
3 | Execute | The activity-specific rehabilitation movement with integrated dynamic motor imagery is executed as realistically as possible, including physical and mental simulation, equipment, and a full-body and context-specific follow-through |
4 | Evaluate | Upon completion, the patient and PT discuss and evaluate the simulation and repeat the process, with modifications to increase realism and meaning, including a progression towards physically and psychologically realistic and sport-specific training exercises. |
