Abstract Date Presented 03/31/2022 In development of a population-level smartphone app that analyzes the motor skills first-year infants, an pilot funded by National Institute Child Health and Human Development indicates need for abridged assessment items from currently available tools. The poster describes regressor first view subjects assessed using full 58-item AIMS versus regressor’s salien...

AIMS A potential unintended consequence of legalizing recreational marijuana is increased marijuana-related driving impairment. Some states where recreational marijuana is legal have begun implementing interventions to mitigate driving under the influence (DUI) of marijuana, including media campaigns to increase knowledge about DUI laws. However, little is known about the associations between k...

condition elicited smaller N1m amplitude than the incongruent condition. In both hemispheres, the stepwise multiple regression revealed that the reduction rate of N1m amplitudes between the presented conditions correlated significantly with the source activities in motor and superior temporal areas. The present study suggested that some sensorimotor mediated prediction modulated auditory activi...

OBJECTIVE To assess the association between indicators of exposure to motor vehicle-related air pollution and cardiovascular mortality in male adults. METHODS Information on roads and traffic volume for the year 2007 in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, was obtained from the local Traffic Engineering Division. Data on mortality from cardiovascular diseases among men aged >40 years i...

OBJECTIVE To examine the extent to which infant television viewing is associated with language and visual motor skills at 3 years of age. MEASURES We studied 872 children who were participants in Project Viva, a prospective cohort. The design used was a longitudinal survey, and the setting was a multisite group practice in Massachusetts. At 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, mothers reported the ...

Autistic regression consists of paucity of social and emotional reciprocity, disorders of language and communication, and stereotyped behaviors that are noted after a period of normal or near-normal development for one or two years. We report a case who presented autistic regression symptoms but was improved with comprehensive multi-modal treatment approach in motor, language, and social domain...

UNLABELLED Children with persistent speech disorders (PSD) often present with overt or subtle motor deficits; the possibility that speech disorders and motor deficits could arise from a shared neurological base is currently unknown. Functional MRI (fMRI) was used to examine the brain networks supporting fine motor praxis in children with PSD and without clinically identified fine motor deficits...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of driver dependent factors on the risk of causing a collision for two wheeled motor vehicles (TWMVs). DESIGN Case control study. SETTING Spain, from 1993 to 2002. SUBJECTS All drivers of TWMVs involved in the 181 551 collisions between two vehicles recorded in the Spanish registry which did not involve pedestrians, and in which at least one of the vehicles ...

In 1992, 1998, and 2006, questionnaires were sent to stratified samples of residents aged 18-75 years living near petrochemical industries (n = 600-800 people on each occasion) and in a control area (n = 200-1,000). The aims were to estimate the long-term prevalence and change over time of annoyance caused by industrial odour, industrial noise, and worries about possible health effects, and to ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Upper limb motor impairment poststroke is commonly evaluated using clinical outcome measures such as the Fugl-Meyer Assessment. However, most clinical measures provide little information about motor patterns and compensations (eg, trunk displacement) used for task performance. Such information is obtained using movement quality kinematic variables (joint ranges, trunk dis...
