Biomechanical constraints on intra-limb coordination in boys with and without development coordination disorder
(2012-11-10)It is known that children with DCD have difficulties organizing actions involving coordination between limbs or limb pairs (e.g., Astill, 2007; Volman, Laroy, & Jongmans, 2006). It is also apparent that a coalition of ... -
The effect of a 6-week progressive, combined resistance and cardiovascular training program on muscular strength, endurance, and body composition in young adults with a mild to moderate intellectual global delay
(2019)Individuals with an intellectual disability (ID) are defined as people who have significant limitation in both intellectual functioning such as learning and problem solving, as well as in adaptive behavior such as social ... -
The effect of facial protection, impact location, and neckform stiffness on peak linear acceleration, risk of injury, and energy loading measures of horizontal impacts on a hockey helmet
(2018)Helmets were originally designed and implemented to protect players from skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries by minimizing linear impact accelerations. The sport of hockey, however, has evolved, and now includes ... -
The effect of variable type of practice on one handed catching in children with developmental disorders
(2017)Children with developmental disorders, such as DCD, struggle with interceptive tasks like ball catching. These problems may be due to less than optimal abilities to coordinate and control actions at intra- and inter-limb ... -
The Effects of Therapeutic Tape on Pain, Range of Motion, Power, Balance and Strength in Physically Active Individuals with Patellar Tendinopathy
(2015)Patellar tendinopathy is a common injury found among active populations. Typically, tendon pain and tenderness are the most prevalent symptoms associated with patellar tendinopathy and can range from mild to severe. This ... -
Influence of attention on static balance control and postural adaptations in typically developing children and children who met the criteria for DCD
(2013-02-03)Attentional issues may be a contributing factor to poor static and dynamic postural control for many children with DCD, particularly since many of them may have a dual diagnosis with ADHD. To date, only a few investigations ... -
Intra-limb coordination and control in individuals with stroke. Conceptual and methodological considerations
(2022)Stroke results in substantial difficulties in reaching and grasping actions, which may emerge at different levels of coordination and control, in both the spatial and temporal domains. In the context of motor control, ... -
Measurement of bimanual coordination in rehabilitation for poststroke individuals: a systematic review
(2023)A stroke can result in a decreased ability to coordinate the upper limbs, which leads to difficulty in performing the activities of daily living (ADLs). As a result, upper-extremity rehabilitation has been frequently ... -
Reliability of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition: Age Band 2
(2016)The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of age band 2 of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition (MABC-2), using test re-test, internal consistency, and standard error of measurement ...
