Abstract Background Upper-extremity hemiparesis is a common and debilitating impairment after stroke, severely restricting stroke survivors’ ability to participate in daily activities function independently. Alarmingly, only small percentage of patients fully recover upper extremity function. Animal models indicate that high-dose training during the early poststroke phase can significantly enhance motor recovery. However, translating such programs for human remains challenging due resource...

Abstract A variety of studies have suggested that at least some children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) view the world differently. Differences in gaze patterns as measured by eye tracking been demonstrated during visual exploration images and natural viewing movies social content. Here we analyzed temporal randomness saccades blinks movies, inspired a recent measure “randomness” applied to micro‐movements hand head ASD (Torres et al., 2013; Torres & Denisova, 2016). We large...

Previous eye‐tracking studies have reported that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) fixate less on faces in comparison to controls. To properly understand social interactions, however, must gaze not only at but also actions, gestures, body movements, contextual details, and objects, thereby creating specific patterns when observing interactions. We presented three different movies interactions 111 (71 ASD) who watched each of the twice. Typically developing viewed a remarkably...

Accumulating evidence suggests that motor performance is affected by the cognitive control abilities of subject. Performance in tasks populations with deficits such as older adults and subjects stroke therefore expected to deteriorate. The goal this study investigate relationship between impairments learning a visuomotor adaptation task stroke.Twenty-seven post-stroke, 31 age matched controls, 30 young completed sensorimotor composed 2 blocks separated washout block. Explicit was assessed...

Recent neuroimaging and eye tracking studies have suggested that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may exhibit more variable idiosyncratic brain responses movements than typically developing (TD) children. Here we extended this research for the first time to pupillometry recordings. We successfully completed recordings 103 (66 ASD), 4.5-years-old on average, who viewed three 90 second movies, twice. extracted their pupillary time-course each movie, capturing stimulus evoked...

Background It has long been of interest to characterize the components motor abnormality in arm after stroke. One approach decompose hemiparesis phenotype into negative signs, such as weakness, and positive intrusion synergies. We sought identify contributions weakness flexor synergy deficits sub-acute Methods Thirty-three post-stroke participants 16 healthy controls performed two functional movements; one within (shoulder elbow flexion), other outside flexion extension). analyzed upper limb...

Abstract A variety of eye tracking studies have demonstrated that young children with ASD gaze at images and movies social interactions differently than typically developing children. These findings supported the hypothesis behavior differences are generated by a weaker preference for stimuli in The assumes not caused abnormalities oculomotor function including saccade frequency kinematics. Previous mostly been performed school‐age children, adolescents, adults using visual search,...

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often placed in inclusive mainstream education (ME) or exclusive special (SE) settings. While ME settings usually offer less-intensive and structured intervention programs than SE settings, they more exposure to typically developing peers. A total of 121 children (2–5 years old) ASD, 85 36 ME, completed two Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, 2nd edition (ADOS-2) assessments. Repeated-measures analysis covariance (ANCOVA) analyses were...

Abstract It has long been of interest to characterize the components that generate motor control abnormalities in arm after stroke. One approach decompose hemiparesis phenotype into negative signs, such as weakness, and positive intrusion synergies. Here, we sought identify contributions weakness flexor synergy function impairment, defined by kinematic clinical scales, respectively, sub-acute stroke using two 3D tasks differed their requirement for elbow extension. Thirty-three post-stroke...

Recent neuroimaging and eye-tracking studies have suggested that children with autism exhibit more variable idiosyncratic brain responses eye movements than typically developing (TD) children. Here, we extended this research to pupillometry recordings. We successfully acquired recordings from 111 (74 autism), 4.5-years-old on average, who viewed three 90 s movies, twice. extracted their pupillary time-course for each movie, capturing stimulus evoked responses. then computed the correlation...

Abstract Kinematic analysis of movement following brain damage is key for diagnosing motor impairments and recovery assessment. Advances in computer vision offer novel marker-less tracking tools that could be implemented the clinic due to their simple operation affordability. An important question arises whether technologies are sufficiently accurate compared well established marker-based technologies. This study aims perform validation kinematic assessment using two high-speed cameras a 3D...

Abstract Background Intensive and high-dose upper extremity training, concentrating on movement quality in the early phase after a stroke, can enhance motor recovery compared to standard care. Unfortunately, such programs do not exist due limited resources, patient compliance, administrative challenges. Objective To examine feasibility potential efficacy, evaluate resources of an intensive technology-based training emphasizing during inpatient stroke rehabilitation. Methods Twelve subjects...

Background: Movement disturbances are often associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), including the movement of eyes. However, oculomotor abnormalities in ASD have been typically studied terms social aspects visual exploration and engagement, either by analyzing gaze direction to points interest or comparing behavior that developing individuals when presented specific stimuli. Methods: We analyzed a large eye-tracking data set obtained at national autism research center Israel from...
