The emergence of dynamic visualizations three‐dimensional (3D) models in anatomy curricula may be an adequate solution for spatial difficulties encountered with traditional static learning, as they provide direct visualization change throughout the viewpoints. However, little research has explored interplay between learning material presentation formats, abilities, and anatomical tasks. First, to understand cognitive challenges a novice learner would faced when first exposed 3D content,...

Three‐dimensional (3D) digital animations were used to teach the human musculoskeletal system first year kinesiology students. The purpose of this study was assess effectiveness method by comparing two groups from different academic years during their official required anatomy examinations (trunk and upper limb assessments). During section, teacher two‐dimensional (2D) drawings embedded into PowerPoint ® slides 3D for group (2D group) second (3D group), respectively. same both trunk section....

Abstract Motor imagery (MI) is the cognitive rehearsal of an action without overt motor execution. Among prerequisites that are important in developing MI training programs, timing imagined movements has received a growing body attention over last two decades. Nowadays, researchers frequently measure temporal congruence between actual and times, difficulty preserving features movement during often been taken as impairment. Interestingly, some data provided evidence real-time not only way to...

Mental rotation (MR) is improved through practice and high MR ability correlated to success in anatomy learning.We investigated the effects of improving on Vandenberg Kuse test performance consequences learning functional human anatomy.Forty-eight students were assigned into three groups: group (16 attending course training), same course), control (n = 16). Instead training, latter 2 groups engaged physical activities for an equivalent time, did not attend course.MR performed better than two...

The purpose of the current article is to provide a comprehensive overview literature offering better understanding autonomic nervous system (ANS) correlates in motor imagery (MI) and movement observation. These are two high brain functions involving sensori-motor coupling, mediated by memory systems. How observing or mentally rehearsing affect ANS activity has not been extensively investigated. links between cognitive responses so obvious. We will first describe organization whose main...

Purpose: Motor imagery (MI) has been used as a complementary therapeutic tool for motor recovery after central nervous system disease and peripheral injuries. However, it never preventive tool. We investigated the use of MI in rehabilitation stage II shoulder impingement syndrome. For first time, is before surgery. Method: Sixteen participants were randomly assigned to either or control group. Shoulder functional assessment (Constant score), range motion pain measured intervention. Results:...

Previous studies found that children are able to perform mental rotation (MR) tasks with a gender difference from the age of 4. More recently, differences in MR were also reported infancy. However, different kinds paradigms and stimuli used. The present study investigates whether Vandenberg Kuse Mental Rotation Test (VMRT; & Kuse, 1978 ) as well another similar 2-dimensional test may be used elementary middle-school children, evidenced. Results show boys outperform girls group only....

The aim of this study was to measure physical and functional outcomes during the acute postoperative recovery in patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. Motor imagery has been shown decrease pain promote after both neurological peripheral injuries. Yet, whether motor can be included as an adjunct effective method into therapy programs following arthroplasty remains a working hypothesis that we test pilot study.Twenty volunteers were randomly assigned either or control group. Pain,...

Descriptive and functional anatomy is one of the most important sciences for kinesiology students. Anatomy learning requires spatial motor imagery abilities. Learning complex when teaching methods instructional tools do not appropriately develop Recent technological developments such as three-dimensional (3D) digital allow to overcome those difficulties, especially 3D require strong interactions with learners. Besides interactive tools, embodied or in motion an effective method a wide...

Abstract Human anatomy requires understanding spatial relationships among anatomical structures and is often perceived as difficult to learn by students. To overcome this concern, several digital tools exist with some strengths limitations which the lack of interactivity especially for complex functional learning. In way, a new interactive three‐dimensional tool called Antepulsio was designed. assessed comparing three groups first year kinesiology students test whether it likely favor...

While the use of motor imagery (the mental representation an action without overt execution) during actual training sessions is usually recommended, experimental studies examining effect physical fatigue on subsequent performance are sparse and yielded divergent findings. Here, we investigated whether occurring intense sport session affected ability. Twelve swimmers (nine males, mean age 15.5 years) conducted a 45 min physically-fatiguing protocol where they swam from 70% to 100% their...

ABSTRACT Introduction Access cavity preparation is a crucial step in root canal treatment but one of the most complex procedures curriculum to learn, with students often reporting spatial orientation difficulties during drilling. The present study aimed evaluate influence abilities on endodontic access cavities among third‐year dental students. Materials and Methods Students from Lyon faculty participated voluntarily. mental rotation test (MRT) evaluated ability. prepared 3D‐printed...

Reduced physiological arousal in response to breath-holding affects internal clock processes, leading swimmers underestimate the time spent under apnea. We investigated whether reduced during static apnea was likely affect temporal organization of motor imagery (MI). Fourteen inter-regional national athletes mentally and physically performed two 15 m swimming tasks identical durations. They sequences a counterbalanced order, first while breathing normally using scuba, second assessed MI...

Mini-invasive surgery—for example, laparoscopy—has challenged surgeons’ skills by extending their usual haptic space and displaying indirect visual feedback through a screen. This may require new mental abilities, including spatial orientation representation. study aimed to test the effect of cognitive training based on motor imagery (MI) action observation (AO) surgical skills. A total 28 postgraduate residents in surgery took part our were randomly distributed into 1 3 following groups:...

Abstract Previous studies provided evidence of a relationship between mental rotation (MR) and motor processes in children adults. However, there is no direct that MR ability reliable predictor success for performance. After completion test, the performance 7- to 8-year-old 11- 12-year-old was measured along steeple chase an equivalent straight distance sprint. The involved several actions requiring, among different competencies, spatial abilities such as performing forward roll, jumping,...

There is now ample evidence that motor imagery contributes to enhance learning and promote recovery in patients with disorders. Whether practice likely facilitate mobility suffering from knee osteoarthritis, at 6-months after total arthroplasty, remains unknown.This trial was designed evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of implementing into classical course physical therapy arthroplasty.Randomized controlled trial.Twenty-four unilateral arthroplasty were assigned a or control group...

Method This prospective monocentre 3rd year students. Forty students were assigned experimental group ( n = 20) performing both real practice and control trained through only....

Mental rotation (MR) is a spatial skill considered to be key-component of intellectual ability. Studies have suggested that the response time (RT) in MR task (MRt) might influenced, with possible gender differences, by practice physical activity (PA) and depending on plane, direction, degrees frame reference perform it. The present study aimed at examining respective influences all these variables RT developing linear mixed-effect model from RTs varying according reference. MRt was performed...
