Stability limits modulate whole-body motor learning.
Our daily movements exert forces upon the environment and also upon our own bodies. To control for these forces, movements performed while standing are usually preceded by anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs). This strategy is effective at compensating for an expected perturbation, as it reduces the need to compensate for the perturbation in a reactive manner. However, it can also be risky ...
متن کاملRelationship between improvements in motor performance and changes in anticipatory postural adjustments during whole-body reaching training.
Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) provide postural stability and play an important role in ensuring appropriate motor performance. APAs also change in various situations. However, it is unknown whether changes in APAs during repetitive movement training contribute to improvement in motor performance. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between improvement in motor performanc...
متن کاملDisordered axial movement in Parkinson's disease.
Axial motor impairments are a common cause of disability in patients with Parkinson's disease, become more prominent with longer disease duration, and have been said to be less responsive to levodopa replacement therapy. The ability to turn in bed while lying supine before and after dopaminergic stimulation was studied in a group of 36 patients with Parkinson's disease; 23 were in Hoehn and Yah...
متن کاملNogo Receptor 1 Limits Tactile Task Performance Independent of Basal Anatomical Plasticity
The genes that govern how experience refines neural circuitry and alters synaptic structural plasticity are poorly understood. The nogo-66 receptor 1 gene (ngr1) is one candidate that may restrict the rate of learning as well as basal anatomical plasticity in adult cerebral cortex. To investigate if ngr1 limits the rate of learning we tested adult ngr1 null mice on a tactile learning task. Ngr1...
متن کاملMotor learning and Parkinson disease: Refinement of movement velocity and endpoint excursion in a limits of stability balance task.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of practice on performance and retention of a balance task in persons with Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS Ten persons with PD and 10 age and gender-matched healthy control subjects were tested on an anticipatory, static base of support, limits of stability (LOS) balance task on a force plate. The motor learning paradigm utilized for all subjects included ...
