MNRI® INTEGRACIJA REFLEKSOV ZGORNJIH OKONČIN

Learner Objectives: MNRI Upper Limb Reflex and Manual Skill integration:

1. Explain the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) Method and its connection to the
   innate nature of the motor reflex system.
2. Explain the role of a reflex and its sensory, motor, and central nervous system mechanisms.
3. Describe how the MNRI process for upper limbs is a facilitation program for genetic motor pattern
   development.
4. Describe the role of the motor reflex pattern in the development of the nervous system.
5. Explain how the brain engages in protection versus learning and development.
6. Describe how to use the neuro-developmental techniques found in this program to facilitate
   sensorimotor integration for manual reflex patterns.
7. Explain how a delay or inhibition of any of the natural motor development movement patterns can
   affect the overall development of a child.
8. Explain how the primary movement system provides protection, ensures survival and generates innate
   spontaneous movements to sustain and regulate the body.
9. Explain how upper limb reflexes and related manual skills are involved in the formation of conscious
   motor control within the brain-body system.
10. Demonstrate the role of upper limb reflexes and related manual skill development within the motor
    reflex system and the neurosensorimotor reflex integration basis for the successful development of
    manual skills.
11. Describe how fine motor control, hands-eyes, hands-articulation, and hands-auditory systems are
    necessary for fine motor coordination and self-regulation.
12. Demonstrate how to implement MNRI assessment techniques to determine the integration state of a
    reflex pattern (i.e. integrated, dysfunctional or pathological) of each upper limb reflex.
13. Demonstrate motivating games and activities to use in conjunction with MNRI techniques to enhance
    the upper limb integration process.
14. Describe how to create and apply an individual MNRI program for clients with various challenges.
15. Demonstrate strategies to incorporate the use of the MNRI Upper Limb Reflex and Manual Skill
    course content into daily client and home practice.
