Objective: This study aimed to define sit-to-walk (STW) movement without phase overlap. In addition, the intrasubject and test-retest repeatability of movement events were measured. Material and Methods: Fifteen healthy children aged between 7 and 12 years old participated in the study. A threedimensional motion analysis system was used to gather a...

Background:Performance of sit-to-walk (STW) is developed along with improvement in neuromuscular control. Visual development plays an important role for motor learning and function in childhood. There was little evidence to indicate the relationship between visual function and motor performance.Objective:This study aims to examine the relationship...

Background Stroke frequently leads to motor impairments, with almost half of the affected individuals experiencing diminished sensation, impacting their overall quality of life and autonomy. Rehabilitation efforts, however, often overlook somatosensory functions of the lower limbs. While plantar sensory stimulation activates receptors in the foot s...

Introduction: The Gait Assessment and Intervention Tool (GAIT) is well-regarded for its intra-rater and inter-rater reliability and presents an ideal foundation for integration with 2D image analysis. This innovative combination aims to leverage the strengths of both subjective and objective assessment methods. While the psychometric properties of...

Introduction: The brief balance evaluation systems test (Brief-BESTest) is a balance assessment tool consisting of eight items that assess the six components of the postural control development system. It is a valid and reliable test for assessing balance for various physical conditions in different populations; however, it has not been investigate...

Background The decline in cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may contribute to a change in movement pattern during sit-to-stand transitions (STS). However, when comparing older adults with MCI to older adults without MCI, there is a lack of evidence of kinematic and kinetic data during STS. Furthermore, while si...

Introduction To investigate the test–retest and inter-rater reliability of a new protocol using the back range of motion instrument (BROM II) to measure the lumbar range of motion (LROM). Methods Five raters and twenty healthy subjects participated in this study. Before the measurement, all raters and all subjects were asked to watch a 4-minute vi...

Introduction: Thoracic manipulative therapy (TMT) is recommended for treating patients with mechanical neck pain (MNP). However, there are multiple proposed recommendations for the mechanism for neck pain reduction. Objective: To investigate displacement of the cervicothoracic spine during the application of TMT in patients with MNP. Methods:...

Objectives: Hand function is critical for daily life and work, especially with the use of electronic devices. This study determined the effect of mirror therapy in individuals with asymmetrical hand function. Method: Forty-two men with asymmetrical hand function were recruited. All participants were randomly divided into two groups: sham control (n...

Background Evaluating quiet stance under various conditions using nonlinear analysis may be an effective method of measuring postural control in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, no studies have examined the reliability of using sample entropy (SampEn) in older adults with MCI. Research question What are the within- and b...

INTRODUCTION: Although the five-times-sit-to-stand test (FTSST) is commonly used to analyse functional capacity, in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), many activities of daily living, such as walking while holding objects, require the simultaneous performance of motor and motor tasks. Hence, the FTSST with a secondary task has been...

Introduction: The Timed Up and Go TUG test with cognitive task is a common measurement tool that is widely used in clinical practice in older adults with mild cognitive impairment MCI The different types of cognitive tasks challenge different aspects of cognition and have different impacts on performance To our knowledge, no study has estimated the...

Postural control is a fundamental requirement for performing all functional tasks, including standing up from a chair. Although there is a broad literature on postural control development in typically developing (TD) children, there is a lack of specific information on TD children performing the sit-to-stand (STS). Therefore, the aim of this study...

Background: There is a lack of evidence whether the combined visual and verbal cues could improve dynamic trunk control in the sitting position in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (SDCP). Objective:To investigate the immediate effects of visual, verbal, and combined visual and verbal cues on dynamic trunk control in the sitting positi...

The present study aimed to compare the effects of chair height and anterior seat inclination on sit-to-stand (STS) performance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (SDCP). Twelve children with SDCP were tested with three conditions of STS task: low chair with horizontal seat (control), low chair with anterior seat inclination (AiC), and...

Background: Sit-to-stand (STS) movement is an important transition movement for daily life. STS movement is typically seen in children aged 1 year and older. According to the motor development process, the ability of children in different age groups to perform STS movement would be different before they meet the mutuality. However, it is still unc...

Background: Anterior seat inclination has been applied in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (SDCP) to adjust alignment during sitting. However, there has been a lack of evidence reporting the effects of anterior seat inclination on sit-to-stand (STS) performance in children with SDCP. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate t...

BACKGROUND: The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is one of the most popular functional dynamic balance tests in children with typical and atypical development. However, the TUG protocol varies in terms of turning-point markers and verbal commands. RESEARCH QUESTION: Would the outcomes of TUG be different if a different TUG protocol, especially turning-p...

Objective: This study aimed to (i) describe an instrumented couch which would be able to synchronize with the motion-capture system in details;(ii) calibrate this device in measuring applied forces on its surface and distance. Study design: The criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability. Methods: The criterion-related validity and relia...

Background: Sit-to-stand (STS) is one of the most common fundamental activity in daily life. The pathology of the neuromuscular control system in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (SDCP) could contribute to atypical movement patterns leading to the inefficiency performance including the STS task. However, there was also a lack of evide...

Purpose: The study aimed to determine the within- and between-session reliabilities as well as the minimal detectable change (MDC) of generally used temporal, kinematic, and kinetic parameters during the sit-to-stand (STS) task in typical children. Methods: The study involved 10 typical children (9.8 ± 1.6 years old). Motion analysis and force plat...
