Background. Falls are common in older adults and have many adverse consequences. In an attempt to prevent further incidents, elder fallers may consciously monitor control their movements. Ironically, conscious movement be one factor that contributes disruption of automaticity walking, increasing the likelihood subsequent falls. Objective. The Movement Specific Reinvestment Scale (MSRS), which aims measure propensity for movement-related self-consciousness processing movement, was used try...
Verbal instructions and feedback are critical motor learning elements within physiotherapy practice. With evident advantages associated with that direct learner attention externally, it has been recommended knowledge about the focus of (FOA) be translated into However, most existing information on this topic comes from non-Asian high-resourced settings. This study aims to fill gap regarding context-specific practice patterns by examining preferences physiotherapists in Philippines for...
It has been proposed that the effect of an external focus in gait might be more beneficial challenging tasks compared to a natural walking condition. This study sought a) address any causal link between and improved stability during on unstable surface b) explore possible psycho-cognitive mechanism underpinning these changes older adults. Ninety-eight adults (mean age: 70.6±4.6) were invited walk along 8-meter elevated, foam walkway at self-selected pace under three blocks attentional...
Abstract Research in psychology suggests that provision of an instruction by analogy can enhance acquisition and understanding knowledge. Limited research has been conducted to test this proposition motor learning children. The purpose the present study was examine feasibility instructions skill Thirty‐two children were randomly assigned one two protocols: explicit protocols for a two‐week rope skipping training. Each participant completed pretest (Lesson 1), three practice sessions 2–4),...
Abstract Background Parent-child exercises involve children and parents to do workout together have positive effects on physical mental health. We developed a mobile app parent-child called Family Move, which combines coaching videos with game features such as points level system enhance the health wellbeing of both through exercises. This pilot pre-post study investigated whether Move app-based intervention had effect children’s health-related quality life (HRQOL), psychosocial wellbeing,...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect attentional focus instructions on gait stability during level-ground walking among older adults. We recruited 140 community-dwelling adults (mean age = 70.3 years, SD 4.7 years) from elderly community centers in Hong Kong. experiment included assessments participant’s characteristics and trials. During trials, each participant invited walk at a self-selected pace along 6-m walkway. Internal (Internal condition), external (External or...
There is emerging evidence for the use of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) to improve health outcomes in context stroke rehabilitation. This scoping review identified recently available and possible research gaps regarding how MBIs affect psychological physical rehabilitation individuals poststroke.Electronic searches were performed using four major databases, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web Science. Sixteen studies out a total 404 relevant met selection criteria inclusion this...
Stroke rehabilitation, which demands consistent, intensive, and adaptable intervention in the long term, faced significant challenges due to COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, telerehabilitation emerged as a noteworthy complement traditional rehabilitation services, offering convenience of at-home care delivery overcoming geographical resource limitations. Self-help robots deliver repetitive intensive physical assistance, thereby alleviating labor burden. However, have rarely demonstrated...
Postural threat can induce conscious involvement in movement control. This internal focus has been implicated compromising attentional processing efficiency during postural control, leading to behavioral adaptations that might increase the risk of falling elderly. It is suggested electroencephalography (EEG) coherence, or 'communication', between T3 (verbal-analytical) and Fz (motor-planning) regions may provide an objective measure learned skills. However, it currently unknown whether this...
Research highlights the detrimental effect that directing too much conscious attention toward movement can have on postural control. While this concept has received support from many studies, recent evidence demonstrates principle does not always translate to aging clinical populations. Given increasing interest in topic, current study evaluated if original notion (that an internal focus results compromised balance performance) is upheld young and older adults during a challenging task where...
Soft wearable robotic hand can assist with function for the performance of activities daily living (ADL). However, existing hands lack a mathematical way to quantify grip force generated better controlling grasp objects during ADL. To address this issue, article presents soft active control finger flexion and extension through an elastomeric-based bi-directional actuator. This actuator bends extends by pneumatic actuation at lower air pressure, flex sensor embedded inside measures angles...
