Conclusion: Researchers recommend the use of task-oriented and traditional physical therapy interventions for children with DCD. In addition, interventions in physical therapy contexts need clear goals and outcome measures for individual children. 展开 ...
The composition of muscle synergies quantifies the muscles that are co-activated to achieve specific motor goals required for the given motor tasks, whereas the activation coefficient indicates the timing and activation magnitude of the synergies. From the perspective of data analysis, note that the...
for sensory mechanisms underlying perception, but mainly as combinatorial domains for cognitive-motor operations, as dictated by the anatomy of the interplay between the parietal and frontal lobe, and of the latter with the outcome of prefrontal operations concerning the selection of goals, strategies,...
Furthermore, the MNS codes simultaneously for the goals of actions, as well as the way in which they were performed; together, these features play an important role in learning via imitation (Rizzolatti & Craighero, 2004). It has been proposed that the MNS is partially an innate mechanism ...
In addition to the functional role of motor learning, PFC is well believed to be critical for the cognitive–executive function, which is consid- ered to be orchestration of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals (31,32). In humans, executive functions, such as planning and ...
65 Although the programs participating in those 2 studies differ from the MCCD programs in that they are much larger and operated exclusively by commercial disease management companies, they had similar goals and target populations. None of those programs showed significant reductions in hospitalizations...
The human body generally has more degrees of freedom than necessary for generating a given movement. According to the motor abundance principle, this redundancy is beneficial as it provides the central nervous system with flexibility and robustness for the generation of movements. Under the hypothesis...
Rating scales captured child and parent perceptions of performance for each child's goals. RESULTS: TGMD-2 subtest raw scores, age equivalent and percentile scores improved, along with parent ratings of their child's performance. Six children reported skill improvements. On average, moderate to ...
When feeling boredom, they tend to disengage from the therapy tasks before therapeutic goals are met. Therefore, therapies with greater promise of holding children´s attention and encouraging children to perform aimed limb movements towards child-appropriate and engaging visual supports, become ...
2.1 Search Methodology and Scope To assemble a collection of papers in line with the goals of our review, we searched the Web of Science using a set of keywords. The keywords were as follows: Topic = (*lower leg* OR *lower-limb* OR *lower-extremity* OR leg OR hip OR foot OR knee...
