Description[edit | edit source]
Targeted Training (TT) is a therapeutic approach which is described as an engineering-based strategy which focuses on the development of head and trunk control. This in turn aids in the development and improvement of extremity control. It is described as a 'simplified way of learning motor control in the upright posture'[1][2]
Indication[edit | edit source]
TT has been developed specifically for children who demonstrate motor control difficulties. The predominant population benefiting from this approach are those diagnosed with cerebral palsy, however, the treatment itself can be used with any child demonstrating movement difficulties stemming from motor control limitations.
Clinical Intervention[edit | edit source]
A core component of TT is the use of the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo). This is an assessment tool developed in conjunction with the TT approach. It is integral, in that it allows for the discrete testing of each segment in regards to static, active and reactive control. From here, a therapist is able to gauge the level/ segment at which TT should begin.[3]
