The effect of light touch on balance control during overground walking in healthy young adults
Balance control is essential for safe walking. Adding haptic input through light touch may improve walking balance; however, evidence is limited. This research investigated the effect of added haptic input through light touch in healthy young adults during challenging walking conditions. Sixteen individuals walked normally, in tandem, and on a compliant, low-lying balance beam with and without ...
متن کاملAbdomen-thigh contact during forward reaching tasks in obese individuals.
During seated forward reaching tasks in obese individuals, excessive abdominal tissue can come into contact with the anterior thigh. This soft tissue apposition acts as a mechanical restriction, altering functional biomechanics at the hip, and causing difficulty in certain daily activities such as bending down, or picking up objects from the floor. The purpose of the study was to investigate th...
متن کاملKinematics of Unimpaired Reach-grasp-release during Robotic Assisted Reaching
Kinematics of normal reach-to-grasp function has been investigated, described and debated. Robotic devices are increasingly being used to promote upper limb rehabilitation following neurological disease or injury such as stroke but the kinematics of reach, grasp and release using this technology is largely unknown. The study aim was to characterize the kinematics of robotic (Armeo) assisted rea...
متن کاملForward modeling allows feedback control for fast reaching movements.
Delays in sensorimotor loops have led to the proposal that reaching movements are primarily under pre-programmed control and that sensory feedback loops exert an influence only at the very end of a trajectory. The present review challenges this view. Although behavioral data suggest that a motor plan is assembled prior to the onset of movement, more recent studies have indicated that this initi...
متن کاملEffect of practice variability on anticipatory postural control during reaching task
Introduction and purpose: Reaching movement is one of the common task for assessing learning mechanism and is daily task in human life, improvement in postural stability can influence the function of this task. In this term, the aim of current study was to compare constant (simple reaction time) and variable random practice (choice reaction time) on the improvement of anticipatory postural adju...
