Professional motor skills

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As occupational motor skills or work motor skills , the movement science and ergonomics designate the movement fundus required for the exercise of a certain profession and the associated movement possibilities. In movement science, the term is mainly used to differentiate between everyday motor skills and sports motor skills .

Characteristic

Functional occupational motor skills require special systems and targeted job-related learning processes. Work processes that have not been learned and trained and that are not at least partially automated tire very quickly, produce errors and can even be dangerous for life and health.

Job-specific movements can be represented as monotonous repetitive activities ( assembly line work ), but can also be used creatively and require the highest level of concentration ( operations , artistic designs, etc.). You can primarily use the fine motor skills or the gross motor skills . The prerequisites can also relate to the development of special forms of motor skills such as speech motor skills or expressive motor skills . The latter requirement profiles are mainly found in the professional field of actors .

Depending on the requirements, typical male or female professions have emerged, for which the respective gender with its specific movement repertoire usually proves to be more suitable and thus more successful.

Examples

  • The goldsmith's trade or surgery require highly developed fine motor skills , precise, concentrated work in the smallest of spaces and appropriate manual skills.
  • Workers in construction , mining or as a masseur must have a stable physical constitution , robustness, strength and endurance in order to be able to survive in the job.
  • Assembly line work requires the ability to adapt one's own motor skills to the rhythm of the machine, to manage highly automated, repetitive sequences of actions without errors.
  • Artists have to be very agile, react quickly, manipulate skillfully, act precisely or spontaneously and in a controlled manner - depending on the subject.
  • Mimes need a variety of facial and gestural expression, actors needhighly developed speech motor skills and a varied physical repertoire.
