Background Access to physical activity among youth with spina bifida (SB) is much lower than it for children without disability. Enjoyable home-based exercise programs are greatly needed. Objective Our objective examine the feasibility of a virtual reality (VR) active video gaming system (ie, bundle consumer-available equipment) meet US guidelines in two SB. Methods Two SB—a 12-year-old female and 13-year-old male; both full-time wheelchair users—participated brief, 4-week program using...

Students need to be properly prepared by their education work respectfully and effectively with diverse populations in environments. Our purpose is twofold: (i) provide a thorough description of the curriculum redesign process for an undergraduate kinesiology health promotion (KHP) program, (ii) use our experience more general recommendations other departments universities undergoing curricular redesign. The catalyst this was conversion from quarter-system semester-system opportunities...

Ableism is an inconspicuous phenomenon within the allied health field which may play a role in lack of quality care often observed for people with disabilities (PWD). Since individuals' general perceptions and attitudes toward develop early stages their academic life, it critical to examine education prospective healthcare practitioners, such as Kinesiology (KIN) students, identify roots ableist ideas system. The purpose this study was explore KIN students' experiences respective curriculum...

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to analyse kinematic and spatiotemporal gait characteristics aquatic treadmill walking among three different depths water in individuals with traumatic brain injury. Methods A total 13 injury participated the completed trials at as follows: waist, chest, neck level, which adjusted by a movable floor pool. self‐selected comfortable speed waist level used matched for all trials. Participants under each depths. Each participant's captured...

Virtual reality (VR) has become an effective alternative to promote exercise. However, limited studies have investigated the effect of VR on pain and fatigue in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective: The purpose this study was investigate effects using during exercise SCI. This employed a concurrent nested mixed-methods design. Materials Methods: Eleven SCI completed 6-minute test arm ergometry without VR. Pain questionnaire data were collected Self Efficacy Questionnaire,...

Purpose: Negative attitudes towards peers with disabilities can lead to undesirable behaviour and reduced social participation of students disabilities. The present study aimed investigate the effectiveness a Paralympic sports class on perceptions human rights Korean high school without disabilities.Method: Participants were 168 freshmen randomly divided into two groups. intervention group participated in control general physical education class. Attitude Peer Disabilities Scale (APDS) Human...

Background: Service-learning (SL) programs have been shown to be effective for college students in developing positive attitudes toward people with disabilities (PWDs). Such are particularly important Kinesiology (KIN) as they trained become future health and fitness professionals. Purpose: The present study investigated the effect of a 10-week in-person versus virtual SL program on KIN students’ PWD. Methodology/Approach: A pre- postintervention, three-way, analysis variance was utilized....

Mobility scooters are critical in facilitating social participation of people with mobility challenges and thus improving their life quality. However, the safety issues driving scooter real concerns may not be assessed a timely fashion for many patients. In this paper we enable posture stability analysis at home or community setting by using only video recordings driving. particular, design system that extracts upper body keypoints' 2D coordinates from frames builds an autoencoder model to...

Hemiparetic gait is often associated with stroke, limiting functional mobility and contributing to excessive energy expenditure. Elevated demand an indicator of compromised aerobic capacity may hinder people post-stroke from participating in activities daily living as well other physical activities. Walking water can offer a supportive effective method training increase cardiovascular fitness walking ability individuals impairment. No studies have examined the cardiorespiratory responses...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which associated with various physical impairments. These impairments can limit independence in activities of daily living and decrease the level activity, may lead to further deconditioning. Aquatic exercise help people MS improve their function fitness an accommodating environment. PURPOSE: The purpose this study was investigate effects aquatic on gait strength outcomes individuals MS. METHODS: A randomized controlled...

The energy cost of hemiparetic gait may limit performance activities daily living and physical inactivity individuals post-stroke. Aquatic walking can provide a feasible supportive method exercise to improve cardiorespiratory endurance ability PURPOSE: To examine expenditure aquatic (AW) in people post-stroke compare that overground (OW) at matched speed METHODS: 12 (aged 54.50±12.60) healthy adults (age- gender-matched) participated this cross-sectional study. Each participant performed...

Purpose : The efficacy of service learning in physical activity (PA) intervention is generally not centered around perceptions the recipients, posing questions when an crucial, such as PA people with disabilities. present study examined recipients a student-led service-learning program through quality life survey and interviews. Method Undergraduate students led 13-week intervention. Before after intervention, disabilities ( N = 56) completed surveys (i.e., National Institute Health...

Fine motor skills, such as manipulating utensils, are found to be associated with increased brain activation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Limited previous research has examined PFC during chopsticks usage compared other fine tasks requiring a reliable hand-eye coordination for object manipulations. The purpose of this study was investigate cortical hemodynamic responses versus fork and hand use. Brain were further based on three subgroups categorized by performance proficiency, frequency,...

BACKGROUND: Self-Efficacy (SE) is essential to take on difficult activities in life. SE often developed when people set personalized objectives based their abilities or knowledge, the effort attain goals despite challenges, how they learned from failures. Academic programs higher education provide various pedagogical approaches for students improve through lectures, laboratories, internship, and experimental learning. Service-learning (SL) has been used as a form of learning develop great...

The Latino population has a high prevalence of obesity 47.8%, hence it is critical to address the underlying factors influencing their physical activity (PA) patterns and eating habits combat this issue. Since lifestyle develop at home during adolescence, study focused on Latina mothers, traditionally prominent figure in household. PURPOSE: To explore perception mothers diet PA. METHODS: A sequential exploratory mixed method was employed form semi-structured one-on-one interview...
