This article reports the outcomes of a kinesthetic learning strategy used during a cardiac lecture to engage students and to improve the use of classroom-acquired knowledge in today's challenging clinical settings. Nurse educators are constantly faced with finding new ways to engage students, stimulate critical thinking, and improve clinical application in a rapidly changing and complex health ...

Tactation is the sensation perceived by the sense of touch. Kinesthetic information describes the relative positions and movements of body parts as well as muscular effort when touching and manipulating objects. Haptic perception involves both tactile perception through the skin and kinesthetic perception of the position and movement of the joints and muscles,through the skin of our fingers and...

This paper reports on the design of an audio-haptic tool that enables blind computer users to explore a picture by the hearing and feeling modalities. The tool is divided in two entities: a description tool and an exploration tool. The description tool allows moderators (sighted person) to describe a scene. Therefore, the scene is firstly segmented manually or automatically into a set of object...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate two-point discrimination (2PD) sense and kinesthetic sense dysfunctions in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients compared with a healthy group. METHODS The 2PD sense, muscle force, and kinesthetic differentiation (KD) of strength; the range of motion in radiocarpal articulation; and KD of motion were assessed. RESULTS The 2PD sense assessment...

An experiment investigated in human adults the sensorimotor transformation involved in pointing to a spatial target identified previously by kinesthetic cues. In the "locating phase," a computer-controlled mechanical arm guided the left [condition LR (left-right)] or right [condition RR (right-right)] finger of the blindfolded participant to one of 27 target positions. In the subsequent "pointi...

This paper outlines a PhD project that focuses on bodily interaction. The project is grounded in interaction design informed by psychology, sports psychology, kinesiology, cognitive science and phenomenology and explored within the context of competitive sports, leisure/fun and education. As the project is in its initial stages this paper presents the approach of the project and outlines some o...

According to recent findings, intentional motor actions are controlled by resetting the referent position, R, at which neuromuscular elements, including reflexes, begin to act. It is suggested that somatosensory afferents inform the brain about the deviation (P) of body segments from the centrally set referent position. To perceive the actual position (Q) of body segments and form the position ...

Background. Modern literary sources indicate that of the five main channels through which a person receives information (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and tactile sensations), subjects learning mainly use only three — auditory, visual, determine visual kinesthetic. Purpose was to types perception by interns participants training in specialty “Anesthesiology intensive care” optimize postgraduate...
