Which systems are targeted during the calibration process?

The calibration process in the context of LSVT BIG primarily targets a range of systems that are essential for effective movement and overall functioning. This includes motor systems, which are crucial for controlling voluntary movements; sensory systems, which provide feedback about body position and movement; intellectual systems, which involve cognitive aspects that help plan and execute movements; and emotional systems, which can influence motivation and engagement in physical activities.

By addressing all these systems, the calibration process ensures a holistic approach to therapy. It recognizes that physical movement is not just a product of motor planning but also involves sensory feedback and cognitive strategies, along with emotional readiness to engage in movement. This comprehensive targeting helps patients achieve better outcomes in their functional abilities and quality of life.
