Utilizing Electromyographic Video Games Controllers to Improve Outcomes for Prosthesis Users
This study evaluated the controller, user interface, and gameplay to identify training improvement outcomes and user satisfaction. Study participants were divided into two cohorts that differed in their intervention between the pre-test and post-test challenge course. Cohort one had a free play environment that encouraged learning through algorithmically generated track patterns and the use of powerups. In contrast, cohort two repeated the challenge mode, which was made up of a course of rings to jump through and focused on targeted muscle discretization via character jump heights correlated to muscle output. Data were col...

The Between-Day Reliability of Correlation Properties of Heart Rate Variability During Running
Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback. 2023 Jul 29. doi: 10.1007/s10484-023-09599-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe short-term scaling exponent of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA-a1) of heart rate variability may be a helpful tool to assess autonomic balance as a prelude to daily, individualized training. For this concept to be useful, between-session reliability should be acceptable. The aim of this study was to explore the reliability of DFA-a1 during a low-intensity exercise session in both a non-fatigued and a fatigued condition in healthy males and females. Ten participants completed two sessions with each containing ...

The aim of this study was to explore the reliability of DFA-a1 during a low-intensity exercise session in both a non-fatigued and a fatigued condition in healthy males and females. Ten participants completed two sessions with each containing an exhaustive treadmill ramp protocol. Before and after the fatiguing ramp, a standardized submax ...

The Effect of Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback on Basketball Performance Tests
Appl Psychophysiol Biofeedback. 2023 Jul 25. doi: 10.1007/s10484-023-09600-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of 10-week heart rate variability biofeedback training on basketball skills, free throws, and heart rate variability parameters. Twenty-four basketball players (experimental, n = 12 and control, n = 12) aged 18-24 years volunteered to participate in this study. The experimental group participated in a 10-week heart rate variability biofeedback and basketball training program, while the control group only participated in the 10-week basketball training session. B...

Time Since Last Drink is Positively Associated with Heart Rate Variability in Outpatients with Alcohol Use Disorder: Further Evidence of Psychophysiological Recovery in Early Alcohol Use Disorder Recovery
In this study we sought to replicate and extend our previous finding that HRV improves as individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) reduce or stop drinking and engage in treatment. With a sample of treatment engaged adults in the first year of a current AUD recovery attempt (N = 42), we used general linear models to explore associations between indices of HRV (dependent variables) and time since last alcoholic drink at study baseline assessed using timeline follow-back (independent variable), with checks for effects of age, medication, and baseline AUD severity. As predicted, HRV increased as a function of time since las...
