Proprioceptive deficits can lead to impaired motor performance. Therefore, accurately measuring proprioceptive function in order to identify deficits as soon as possible is important. Techniques based on deep learning to track body landmarks in simple video recordings are promising to assess proprioception (joint position sense) during joint positi...
The joint position reproduction (JPR) approach is commonly used to assess joint position sense (JPS), but its psychometric properties in children remain unexplored. This study aimed to assess the reliability and precision of a multi‐joint JPR protocol for assessing lower‐limb JPS in typically developing (TD) children. Ankle, knee, and hip JPS were...
Background:
Balance deficits are one of the most common impairments in developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and cerebral palsy (CP), with shared characteristics between both groups. However, balance deficits in DCD are very heterogeneous, but unlike in CP, they are poorly understood.
Aim:
To unravel the heterogeneity of balance performance...
Background: The Joint Position Reproduction (JPR) approach has been commonly used to assess joint position sense (JPS), however, no prior study investigated its psychometric properties in children. This study aimed to assess the reliability and precision of a newly developed multi–joint JPR protocol for assessing lower limb JPS in school-aged typic...
Background:
Proprioceptive accuracy refers to the individual's ability to perceive proprioceptive information, that is, the information referring to the actual state of the locomotor system, which originates from mechanoreceptors located in various parts of the locomotor system and from tactile receptors located in the skin. Proprioceptive accurac...
Proprioceptive accuracy refers to the individual’s ability to perceive proprioceptive information, i.e., the information referring to the actual state of the locomotor system, that originates from mechanoreceptors located in various parts of the locomotor system and from tactile receptors of the skin. Proprioceptive accuracy appears an important as...
Purpose
Previous studies investigating the effectiveness of exergame balance-training (using video-games) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) yielded inconsistent results that could be related to underpowered studies. Therefore, in this multicenter intervention study, we investigated whether exergaming improves balance clinically in spastic CP.
