Dyad motor learning in a wrist-robotic environment: Learning together is better than learning alone
CONCLUSION: Compared to physical practice alone, dyad practice leads to superior motor outcomes in a robot-assisted motor learning task. Dyads still outperformed their counterparts 24-h after practice.IMPACT STATEMENT: Improving motor function in complex motor tasks without increasing required practice time, dyad practice can optimize therapeutic resources. This is particularly impactful in robot-assisted rehabilitation regimens as it would help to improve patients' outcomes and increase care efficiency.PMID:38168644 | DOI:10.1016/j.humov.2023.103172 (Source: Human Movement Science)

Longitudinal changes in trunk acceleration and their relationship with gait parameters in post-stroke hemiplegic patients
CONCLUSION: This study showed that assessing trunk acceleration helps estimate the improvement in gait status in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis. The magnitude and regularity of trunk acceleration varied longitudinally and were related to gait speed and paretic leg motion at each time point; however, they could not predict future changes in gait speed.PMID:38160497 | DOI:10.1016/j.humov.2023.103176 (Source: Human Movement Science)

Defining characteristics of independent walking persons after stroke presenting with different arm swing coordination patterns
CONCLUSION: Fast Fourier transform analysis was used to identify subgroups based on sagittal shoulder kinematics during walking. The clinical and gait related differences between the identified subgroups can be taken into account in future research investigating post-stroke gait interventions aiming to improve the arm swing.PMID:38160498 | DOI:10.1016/j.humov.2023.103174 (Source: Human Movement Science)

Postural control of prolonged standing in people with Parkinson's disease
Hum Mov Sci. 2023 Dec 29;93:103177. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2023.103177. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople with Parkinson's disease (pwPD) have reduced adaptability to postural control during prolonged standing compared to neurologically healthy individuals (control). Objective. The study aimed to characterize postural changes during prolonged standing and their effect on postural control in pwPD compared to control. We recorded the body sway of the second lumbar vertebra of 23 pwPD and 23 control while they performed prolonged standing (15 min). The number and amplitude of the body sway patterns (shifts, fidgets, and drif...

Qualitative age-related changes in fine motor skill performance among 3- to 6-year-old typically developing children
This study described intra-task fine motor skill components of the Manual Dexterity tasks (Posting Coins; PC, Threading Beads; TB, Drawing Trail; DT) of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 Test for typically developing children and investigated age- and sex-related differences. Three- to six-year-old Dutch children (n = 182, Mage 4.5 ± 1.1 years, 51.1% boys) were observed with regard to intra-task fine motor skill components, and changes in intra-task components of the Manual Dexterity tasks were analyzed across age using of the Kruskal-Wallis test with post-hoc Mann-Whitney U tests, and differences between sex...
