Objectives: Upper limb motor impairment causes limited activities of daily living in stroke survivors. Bimanual therapy is based on Bimanual movement that facilitates cortical balancing by simultaneous movement of paretic and non-paretic arms while performing a task. Studies aimed at exploring the effects of resisted Bimanual therapy with rhythmic auditory cues on arm function, balance, and end...

objectives: hemiplegia is a non-progressive damage in premature growing brain which causes movement disorders in one side of the body. the objective of present research is to study the method of modified constraints induced movement therapy (cimt) which can be appropriate on unimanual and bimanual functions of children with hemiplegia. methods: this single-blinded, randomized, control trial stu...

UNLABELLED Changes in both brain structure and neurophysiological function regulating homotopic as well as heterotopic interhemispheric interactions (IHIs) are assumed to be responsible for the bimanual performance deficits in older adults. However, how the structural and functional networks regulating bimanual performance decline in older adults, as well as the interplay between brain structur...

AIM The aims of this study were twofold: first, to develop and validate a timed test of unimanual and bimanual dexterity suitable for those with disability affecting hand function; second, to explore relationships between unimanual and bimanual completion times. METHOD We developed the Tyneside Pegboard Test (TPT), an electronically timed test with three peg sizes, incorporating an asymmetric...

BACKGROUND Reorganization of the corticospinal tract (CST) can occur in unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). The affected hand can be controlled via (1) typical contralateral projections from the lesioned hemisphere, (2) ipsilateral projections from the nonlesioned hemisphere, and (3) a combination of contralateral and ipsilateral projections (ie, bilateral). Intensive bimanual therapy and...

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 ...
