Simple and choice reaction times of healthy adults and patients after stroke during simulated driving
We examined whether driving-related reaction times differ between 26 healthy adults (university students) and 26 patients after stroke, and how distractors and leg-dominance affect reaction time and correctness of reactions of healthy adults. Reaction times were measured with the Fiat Mediatester driving simulator using 18-lamps reaction test (simple reaction time measurement) and choice reaction test (scored as reaction time and number of correct reactions). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in simple reaction time. As expected, choice reaction times of the healthy adults were shorter on...

Training effects of wheelchair dance on aerobic fitness in bedridden individuals with severe athetospastic cerebral palsy rated to GMFCS level V.
CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This is the first study that shows wheelchair dance may possibly increase aerobic fitness in bedridden individuals with severe athetospastic cerebral palsty rated GMFCS level V. Future studies with a larger sample will be warranted to prove the claim. PMID: 28178772 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
