The two-component model is a human movement model in which an aimed movement is broken into a voluntary ballistic movement followed by a corrective movement. Recently, experimental evidence has shown that 3D aimed movements in virtual environments can be modeled using the two-component model. In this paper, we use the two-component model for designing 3D interaction techniques which aim at faci...

PURPOSE Under certain conditions, the fast phases of latent/manifest latent nystagmus (LMLN) can defoveate the target of interest instead of foveating it, as was thought to be their only function. LMLN fast phases in the waveforms from four subjects were studied with the goals of better understanding their characteristics and determining what triggers both foveating and defoveating fast phases....

24 Sensorimotor synchronization is a fundamental skill involved in the performance of many 25 artistic activities (e.g., music, dance). After a century of research, the manner in which the 26 nervous system produces synchronized movements remains poorly understood. Typical 27 rhythmic movements involve a motion and motionless phase (dwell). The dwell phase 28 represents a sizeable fraction of t...

EXERCISE ON AN ISOKINETIC DEVICE INVOLVES THREE DISTINCT MOVEMENT PHASES: acceleration, constant velocity, and deceleration. Inherent in these phases are unique occurrences that may confound test data and, thereby, test interpretation. Standard methods of data reduction like windowing and other techniques consist of removing the acceleration and deceleration phases in order to assure analysis u...

PURPOSE Infantile nystagmus (IN) is a pathological, involuntary oscillation of the eyes consisting of slow, drifting eye movements interspersed with rapid reorienting quick phases. The extent to which quick phases of IN are programmed similarly to saccadic eye movements remains unknown. We investigated whether IN quick phases exhibit 'saccadic inhibition,' a phenomenon typically related to norm...

The aim of the study was to record movement-related single unit activity (SUA) in the human subthalamic nucleus (STN) during a standardized motor task of the upper limb. We performed microrecordings from the motor region of the human STN and registered kinematic data in 12 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery (seven women, mean age 62.0 ± 4.7 years) w...

Background: COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on 11 March 2020. From beginning of pandemic, there no effective pharmaceutical intervention to halt or hold up spread this novel disease. Therefore, most countries, including Malaysia, resorted break chain transmission restricting population mobility through implementation Movement Control Order (MCO). We aim determi...

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The vestibular system plays an important role in postural control and upright posture when seated at a table. Some children have difficulty with their in-seat resulting increased movement. This research investigated the effect of Astronaut Training Protocol on child's processing control, by extension behaviour METHOD: A case study design multiple data sources was used fou...

Biosolids land application for beneficial reuse applies varying amounts of trace metals to soils. Measuring plant-available or total soil metals is typically performed to ensure environmental protection, but these techniques do not quantify which soil phases play important roles in terms of metal release or attenuation. This study assessed the distribution of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, and Zn asso...
