Information Theory for Arm Visuo-Motor Coordination
… addresses the information processing of visuo-motor coordination. The aim of this research is to develop an adaptive model for coordinating mechanical action of an arm according to visual information. As a result, a large neural map has been generated which has been used to guide a …

Motor coordination among Greek children: from assessment to intervention
Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) describes children with a difficulty to acquire age-specific motor skills. Although there is a significant body of literature addressing developmental and cognitive issues in children with DCD, few studies have actually examined the associations …

Motor skill acquisition in children with poor motor coordination
… development and wellbeing. Children with poor motor coordination are known to have lower levels of participation in physical activity and exercise in comparison to their typically developing peers, at least partly due to the difficulty in acquiring the motor skills they need for participation. …

Visual motor coordination and reading: a correlational analysis part II
… a correlation between reading rate and visual-motor coordination. This study was a replication of the researcher's prior study. The population of interest was the only differing aspect. This study used 32 high school 9<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup> grade students from an all boys college …

Improving visio-motor coordination in non-dominant hands through tracing tasks
Visuo-motor skills are essential in the performance of various everyday tasks. These skills can be impaired in several neurological conditions. Effective rehabilitation schemes are needed in order to improve visuo-motor coordination in such subjects. This study will propose and test a training …

The effect of a reflex replication program on retained primary reflexes, motor coordination, vocabulary, visual motor ability and rapid naming in preprimary aged children
… reflexes may lead to clumsiness, poor eye hand coordination, poor manipulative skills and consequently academic achievement may be compromised in some children (Sugden & Wright, 1998). This research is about determining the efficacy of Primary Movement program, a reflex replication program …

The Use of a Visual Motor Test to Identify Lingering Deficits in Concussed Collegiate Athletes
… concussion. Measurement of upper-limb visual motor coordination has identified lingering deficits following concussion and so it may provide clinicians with a more sensitive means of tracking recovery. <strong>Objective: </strong>The purpose of this study was to determine if a visual motor …

An Investigation of Anxiety- And Depression-Like Behavior after Head Trauma in Mice
… (FST). Lastly, the effects that the TBI had on motor coordination was also tested using a rotarod. The mice were put through four trials in each test over seven days post-TBI with a three day inter-trial interval between the first two trials and the last two. Results indicated that TBI did not …

Predictive Perception in Autism
… thesis investigates how predictive perception, motor coordination, and neurotype differences influences social perception in autism. It explores how these mechanisms contribute to social difficulties faced by autistic people, through the lens of the double empathy problem and second-person …

Motion learning by robot apprentices : a fuzzy neural approach
… an approach on how robots can learn the visuo-motor coordination of their arms and how they can imitate human arm movements, in order to acquire motor skills from human instructors.

The Effects of Prenatally Induced Hypothyroidism of the Neural Development and Problem Solving Ability of Maturing Hypothyroid Rats
… experimental possibility would be to test the motor coordination and equilibrium sense of hypothyroid neonate rats, since a major cerebellar function is motor coordination.

Proprioception, balance and lower limb strength in Nigerian children (7-10 years) with Generalized Joint Hypermobility and Developmental Coordination Disorder
… is necessary for good postural control and motor performance. Sensory receptors carry information from the joints to the central nervous system for interpretation and appropriate motor response. Damage to these receptors or joint pain may have a negative effect on proprioception and motor …

Characterization and cooperative dynamics of kinesin motor proteins in intracellular transport
… transport is typically carried out by teams of motor proteins rather than by isolated molecules, yet the rules governing multi-motor coordination remain poorly understood because motor number, spacing, and composition are difficult to control experimentally. In this dissertation, I developed …

Oxygen resuscitation does not ameliorate neonatal hypoxia/ischemia-induced edema
… hypothesis, we showed that HI induced impaired motor coordination 21 days after the insult and HHI did not ameliorate this behavioral outcome. We conclude that HHI treatment is effective as a resuscitating therapy, but does not ameliorate HI-induced cerebral edema and impaired motor coordination.

The Effect of L-DOPA and Natural Products on Age-Related Motor Deficits and Dopaminergic Cell Survival
With age, there is a loss of motor coordination leading to an increase in falls. Currently, there are limited therapeutic regimens for age-related motor deficits. However, L-DOPA is used for motor dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD). Therefore, we investigated the effect of L-DOPA on motor …

Generation and Analysis of Gene-Targeted Mouse Models for Oppenheim's Early-Onset Dyt1 Dystonia
… on the beam-walking test, a measure of fine motor coordination and balance, and increased locomotive activity. Ubiquitin- and torsinA-containing aggregates were found in neurons of the pontine nuclei of these mice. KI mice also showed dopaminergic system alterations including a significant …

A norm- and control-referenced comparative study of the neuropsychological profiles of shift workers and patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
… of attention/executive functions and motor coordination of patients with OSA and shift workers with an aim to outline and compare the profiles of any cognitive impairment between these groups.

EMG-EMG Coherence Analysis of Elbow and Shoulder Muscles
Motor coordination can be described by the activation of a few intermuscular coordination patterns, or muscle synergies. Muscle synergy can be defined as a relatively fixed pattern of activation across a set of muscles. The neural mechanisms underlying muscle synergies remain to be fairly unknown. …

A longitudinal predictive validity study of the relationships of formal and informal instruments to reading achievement test scores
… Third, the relationships between two visual motor coordination subtests and between the scores of two mental maturity tests were examined. Finally, the relationship between reading test scores for boys and girls was determined at each of these intervals.The initial population consisted of 195 …

Left ventricular structure in children with developmental coordination disorder
Developmental coordination disorder (p-DCD) is a neuro-developmental disorder featuring impairment in developing motor coordination. This study examined left ventricular mass (LVM) in children with p-DCD (n=63) and controls (n=63). LVM was measured using echocardiography. Body composition was …
