Description of adult rolling movements and hypothesis of developmental sequences.

چکیده
Physical therapists frequently evaluate and teach patients to roll from a supine to a prone position. The purposes of this study were 1) to describe the rolling movements of adults and 2) to determine whether the movement patterns used to roll might represent different developmental steps within three body regions. Thirty-six healthy adult subjects were videotaped during 10 trials of rolling from a supine to a prone position. Written descriptions of each subject's movements were reduced to general categorical descriptions of movement patterns for three body regions (upper extremities, lower extremities, and head and trunk). Stage theory criteria were used in an attempt to order the movement patterns into developmental sequences. The most common combination of movement patterns was used to describe adults' rolling action. Although stage theory criteria were not met, developmental sequences of movement patterns were proposed for the three body regions. Subjects were quite variable in their rolling movements. The most common form of rolling occurred in less than 12% of the subjects' trials. The descriptions of adults' rolling action gathered in this study provide physical therapists with a variety of movement patterns for teaching patients to roll.

Rising from a supine position to erect stance. Description of adult movement and a developmental hypothesis.
Standing up from a supine position is important for physical independence. This study was designed to describe movements within specific body regions used to stand up from a supine position. Another purpose was to identify motor developmental sequences for the upper extremities, lower extremities, and axial region for this rising task. Thirty-two young adults were videotaped while rising from a...

The Effect of Focus Instructions on Dart Throwing Performance in Children With and Without Developmental Coordination Disorder
Background. Adults benefit more from an external focus than internal focus when performing motor skills. Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of internal and external focus of attention on dart throwing performance in children with and without developmental coordination disorder. Methods. Twenty men, 20 normal boys and 20 boys with developmental coordination d...
متن کاملGABA-mediated membrane oscillations as coincidence detectors for enhancing synaptic efficacy in the developing hippocampus
Spontaneously occurring neuronal oscillations constitute a hallmark of developmental networks. They have been observed in the retina, neocortex, hippocampus, thalamus and spinal cord. In the immature hippocampus the so-called ‘giant depolarizing potentials’ (GDPs) are network-driven membrane oscillations characterized by recurrent membrane depolarization with superimposed fast action potentials...
