Changes in hand morphology throughout human evolution have facilitated the use of forceful pad-to-pad precision grips, contributing to development fine motor movement and dexterous manipulation typical modern humans. Today, variation function may be affected by demographic and/or lifestyle factors, but these remain largely unexplored. We measured pinch grip strength dexterity a heterogeneous cr...

Method: Total 19 chronic stroke patients participate in this study and were randomly divided in two groups mirror therapy group and sham therapy group randomly. The participants of received during 30-minutes, 5 times per week for 4 weeks. The muscle strength, range of motion and muscle tone, grip strength, manual dexterity, functional independence levels were evaluated for compare of effects af...

This study examines the motor skills and executive functioning (EF) of 28 children diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS; mean age: 10 years 6 months, range: 7–12 years; 19 boys, 9 girls) in comparison with ageand gender-matched typically developing children. The potential relationship between motor performance and EF in children with PDD-NOS is invest...

Objective: This study aims to examine differences between adolescent video game players and non-players in terms of their reaction time, manual dexterity, working memory levels. Methods: The sample the study, which has a comparative cross-sectional design type, consists 432 adolescents at grades 9 12. Non-video players, were subjected simple visual auditory time tests, dexterity matrix, digit s...

Purpose: Cold environments may deteriorate psychomotor performance due to slowing of neuronal signals, distractions caused by pain and discomfort, a loss manual dexterity. The extent which core temperature (Tc) influences in the cold has not been established. Therefore, Tc were assessed during weather military training exercise evaluate this relationship.

The link between visual-motor integration (VMI) and executive functions (EF) has been repeatedly documented in preschool children. VMI is often assessed using the Copy Design task measuring product, thereby neglecting processes that lead to a specific copy. Furthermore, EF are assumed be mainly involved when new. involvement of after minimal practice VMI, however, unknown. Therefore, present st...
