the aim of this study was to compare the effects of cognitive-attentional and cognitive-motor load on the performance of bimanual coordination skill. 31 female students (mean age 25+2 years) from shahid beheshti university attending were selected voluntarily and divided randomly into three groups: single group (n=11), cognitive group (n=10) and cognitive-motor group (n=10). single group partici...

in this study, the effect of cognitive load (cl) training on duration and accuracy of bimanual coordination (bc) task was investigated. for this purpose, athletic male students of shiraz university were randomly divided into 4 groups: g1 with low cl, g2 with intermediate cl, g3 with high cl and g4 control. the subjects practiced for 6 weeks, 3 sessions a week, 6 blocks, 12 trials. the subjects ...

Most daily activities are bimanual and their efficient performance requires learning and retention of bimanual coordination. Despite in-depth knowledge of the various stages of motor skill learning in general, how new bimanual coordination control policies are established is still unclear. We designed a new cooperative bimanual task in which subjects had to move a cursor across a complex path (...

INTRODUCTION Bimanual hand coordination is very important in carrying out day to day activities like buttoning the shirt, driving, picking up objects. It depends on various factors like age, gender, education, intactness of central and peripheral nervous system, Occupation and lifestyle. AIM The aim of the study was to compare the efficiency of bimanual hand coordination between right handed ...

Bradykinesia is a well-documented DOPA-responsive clinical feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). While amplitude deficits (hypokinesia) are a key component of this slowness, it is important to consider how dopamine influences both the amplitude (hypokinesia) and frequency components of bradykinesia when a bimanually coordinated movement is required. Based on the notion that the basal ganglia are...

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of sensory and movement speed manipulations on bimanual coordination dynamics. Here we compared to what extent the absence and or bias of different sensory modalities affect performance of coordination of movements. Methods: Fifteen physical education students of Shahid Beheshti University (aged 18-25 years) were partici...

To reveal the fundamental skills involved in slacklining, this study examined a hypothesis regarding single-leg standing on a slackline. In the field of practice, instructors teach learners how to maintain balance on a swinging flat belt (slackline), such as by moving their hands in parallel. We hypothesized that bimanual coordination in the horizontal direction might contribute to dynamic bala...
