Attributional retraining (AR) is a motivational intervention that consistently produces improved performance by encouraging controllable failure attributions. Research suggests that cognitively engaging AR methods are ideal for high-elaborating students, whereas affect-oriented techniques are better for low-elaborating students. College students' (N=749) elaborative learning was assessed in the...

Impact loading has been associated with running-related injuries, and gait retraining suggested as a means of reducing impact lowering the risk injury. However, can lead to increased perceived awkwardness effort. The influence specifically trained self-selected running modifications on acute loading, effort is currently unclear. Sixteen habitual rearfoot/midfoot runners performed forefoot strik...

background: given miscarriage psychological consequences on the women health, the aim of the present study is the survey of effectiveness rate of attributive retraining interventions on women depression and anxiety reducing after miscarriage. methods: the present study is semi‑empiric and it’s made using control group, pre‑ and post‑test execution and follow‑up. thirty‑two women, who had recent...

Introduction: Gait retraining through toeing-in or toeing-out has demonstrated proportional loading effects on the knee adduction moment (KAM), a surrogate measure of load in people with medial osteoarthritis (OA). However, evidence is limited by lack randomised control trial (RCT) data that directly compares both foot progression angle (FPA) interventions over six-weeks. The aim this pilot was...

IMPORTANCE Running-related injuries are highly prevalent. OBJECTIVE Synthesise published evidence with international expert opinion on the use of running retraining when treating lower limb injuries. DESIGN Mixed methods. METHODS A systematic review of clinical and biomechanical findings related to running retraining interventions were synthesised and combined with semistructured intervie...

In this paper, as in our previous works1 we evaluate some ethical questions about the domestic use of the robotic exoskeleton (ReWalk Robotics, Marlborough, MA, USA) (Esquenazi et al., 2012; Asselin et al., 2016) for gait assistance in people affected by a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) (National spinal cord injury statistical center, 2010; Scivoletto et al., 2011). This device is presently FDA and E...
