Exploring harmonic walking development in children with unilateral cerebral palsy and typically developing toddlers: Insights from walking experience
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 Apr 20;95:103218. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103218. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis longitudinal study investigated the impact of the first independent steps on harmonic gait development in unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing (TD) children. We analysed the gait ratio values (GR) by comparing the duration of stride/stance, stance/swing and swing/double support phases. Our investigation focused on identifying a potential trend towards the golden ratio value of 1.618, which has been observed in the locomotion of healthy adults as a characteristic of harmonic walking. Locomotor ability ...

Pistol shooting performance under pressure: Longitudinal changes in gaze behavior of male and female Army cadets
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 Apr 16;95:103217. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103217. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe found evidence that Army cadets improved their gaze behavior and performance across time under high and low pressure in a shooting task. The purpose of the study was to determine if male and female cadets developed an optimal quiet eye (QE) onset, a longer QE duration, and decreased pupil diameter variability (PDV) over time under low (LP) and high pressure (HP) conditions. The study was carried out over four sessions, with intervals of 4.5 months. During each session, 16 men and 12 women, first-year cadets of The Brazili...

Effect of experimentally induced muscle pain on neuromuscular control of force production
CONCLUSION: Force production decreases and increases during voluntary and involuntary contractions, respectively, suggesting that acute pain impairs force production via central mechanisms.PMID:38636393 | DOI:10.1016/j.humov.2024.103219 (Source: Human Movement Science)

How spotting technique affects dizziness and postural stability after full-body rotations in dancers
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 Apr 6;95:103211. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103211. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConsecutive longitudinal axis rotations are very common in dance, ranging from head spins in break dance to pirouettes in ballet. They pose a rather formidable perceptuomotor challenge - and hence form an interesting window into human motor behaviour - yet they have been scarcely studied. In the present study, we investigated dancers' dizziness and postural stability after consecutive rotations. Rotations were performed actively or undergone passively, either with or without the use of a spotting technique in such an order th...

Neuroelectric indices of pre-motor planning and adiposity are selectively related to balance in children
CONCLUSION: We found that changes in the LRP-S amplitude were positively associated with balance, and %Fat was negatively related to balance. This evidence is that fitness components such as weight status and coordination are related to neural markers of motor function which may be useful in intervention designs aimed to improve brain function via improvements in physical fitness and health behaviors.PMID:38579480 | DOI:10.1016/j.humov.2024.103216 (Source: Human Movement Science)

Quiet standing and anteroposterior limits of stability in adolescents and young adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy
This study aimed to determine the relationships between the positions and postural sway in the QS and anteroposterior LoS in individuals with BSCP. It included 27 adolescents and young adults with BSCP (BSCP group) and 27 adolescents and young adults without disability (control group). The position of center of pressure in the anteroposterior direction (CoPy position) and the path length of center of pressure (CoP path length) during the QS and the anterior and posterior LoS (A-LoS and P-LoS, respectively) were measured using a force platform. The CoPy positions in the A-LoS and P-LoS in the BSCP group were limited compare...
