Diabetic older women without peripheral neuropathy amplify body sway but are capable of improving postural stability during a saccadic gaze task

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Diabetic older people tend to present deteriorated performance in balance and locomotion activities, even those without peripheral neuropathy. There is evidence that saccadic eye movements are used to reduce body sway in young and older healthy adults, but it has not been shown that diabetic older people preserve this visuomotor adaptation capacity.RESEARCH QUESTION: Are diabetic older women without peripheral neuropathy capable of improving postural stability during a saccadic gaze task?METHODS: Seventeen type 2...

Kinesthetic vs. visual focus: No evidence for effects of practice modality in representation types after action imagery practice and action execution practice
Hum Mov Sci. 2023 Oct 14;92:103154. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2023.103154. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAction-imagery practice (AIP) is assumed to result in partly different action representations than action-execution practice (AEP). The present study investigated whether focusing on either kinesthetic or visual aspects of a task during practice amplifies or diminishes such differences between AIP and AEP. In ten sessions, four groups, using either AIP or AEP with either kinesthetic or visual focus, practiced a twelve-element sequence in a unimanual serial reaction time task. Tests involved the practice sequence, a mirror se...

Good times, bad times? An evaluation of event detection strategies in time to boundary postural assessments
This study aimed to identify a robust, objective methodology to select meaningful TtB outcomes. Ninety-seven healthy adults stood quietly on a force platform with eyes open and feet together. Anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) center-of-pressure data from 150 s were utilized to compute a TtB series. The MATLAB findpeaks function identified minima with and without a time delay following selected events and/or a vertical axis threshold. An individualized time delay excluded excessively large values that hold no clinically relevant information, and this effect was enhanced by a vertical threshold at 22 s. The abs...

Biomechanical role can vary depending on the conditions of the motor task
Hum Mov Sci. 2023 Sep 28;92:103150. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2023.103150. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExpert players in throwing sports may reduce the variability of projectile arrival position by systematically relating release parameters (e.g., release position, velocity, and angular velocity of the projectile). Reducing the variability of the projectile arrival position is often believed to increase the success rate of throwing task, but it may not be always true. Here, we experimentally illustrate that the systematic relationship between release parameters that reduce the variability of the ball arrival position may not ...
