Abstract:

Heterotopic gray matter has been implicated in epilepsy; however, not much is known regarding heterotopia beyond epilepsy. Here, the authors describe 2 pediatric patients with deep heterotopias contiguous with basal ganglia structures. These heterotopias appear to have manifested as movement disorders. One patient presented with a left-sided myoclonus and choreiform movements associated with a right caudate heterotopia; she experienced vast improvement after resection of periventricular heterotopia. The other patient presented with progressive dystonia and a ballistic movement disorder. Initial bilateral globus pallidus internus stimulation resulted in successful treatment of the dystonia; however, her movement disorder worsened. After an extensive workup, including STATISCOM (statistical ictal SPECT coregistered to MR imaging), the patient underwent cortical stimulation with improvement in her movement disorder. To the best of our knowledge, these cases are the first reported instances of heterotopic gray matter associated with movement disorders. Both patients experienced significant improvements following resection of their heterotopias.

Abstract:

Deep brain stimulation is now accepted as a safe and efficient treatment for movement disorders including selected types of dystonia and dyskinesia. Very little, however, is known about its effect on other movement disorders, particularly for “choreic” movements. Huntington disease is a fatal autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by movement disorders, progressive cognitive impairment, and psychiatric symptoms. Bilateral chronic stimulation of the internal globus pallidus was performed to control choreic movements in a 60-year-old man with a 10-year history of Huntington disease. Chronic deep brain stimulation resulted in remarkable improvement of choreic movements. Postoperative improvement was sustained after 4 years of follow-up with a marked improvement in daily quality of life.

Abstract:

Although there is converging experimental and clinical evidences suggesting that mental training with motor imagery can improve motor performance, it is unclear how humans can learn movements through mental training despite the lack of sensory feedback from the body and the environment. In a first experiment, we measured the trial-by-trial decrease in durations of executed movements (physical training group) and mentally simulated movements (motor-imagery training group), by means of training on a multiple-target arm-pointing task requiring high accuracy and speed. Movement durations were significantly lower in posttest compared with pretest after both physical and motor-imagery training. Although both the posttraining performance and the rate of learning were smaller in motor-imagery training group than in physical training group, the change in movement duration and the asymptotic movement duration after a hypothetical large number of trials were identical. The two control groups (eye-movement training and rest groups) did not show change in movement duration. In the second experiment, additional kinematic analyses revealed that arm movements were straighter and faster both immediately and 24 h after physical and motor-imagery training. No such improvements were observed in the eye-movement training group. Our results suggest that the brain uses state estimation, provided by internal forward model predictions, to improve motor performance during mental training. Furthermore, our results suggest that mental practice can, at least in young healthy subjects and if given after a short bout of physical practice, be successfully substituted to physical practice to improve motor performance.

Abstract:

This paper classifies human body movements when an electric wheelchair was controlled using a Human Body Motion Interface (HBMI) by a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and proposes control based on classification results. The Human Body Motion Interface (HBMI) uses body movement following voluntary motion. This study focuses on electric wheelchair control as an application of the HBMI. The viability of the HBMI was confirmed using Center Of Weight (C.O.W.) from pressure distribution information on backrest in the wheelchair to control it. If body movement concentrated on a single point at C.O.W. in pressure distribution, a problem occurred because the system would recognize even different body-movement patterns as the same movement. We call body movement taking the same C.O.W. even if it has a different body-movement pattern movement confusion. We solve the movement confusion problem and enhance wheelchair control, classifying body movement using the SOM and reflecting this classification result to improve wheelchair control. Experimental results showed that movement confusion is solved and wheelchair control improved.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the strategy of performance art, especially Silat Movement (as a source and identity of traditional dance movement of Minangkabau ethnic group), as a marketing medium of tourism, especially in West Sumatera Province. Design/methodology/approach This research used a qualitative approach among six cases of dance. Quantitative method was used to collect data about the dance movement of Minangkabau ethnic group, which is in accordance with the cultural value that they adopt. The data collecting technique used was focus group discussion, documentation, observation and interview. The case study method was used to conduct this research, focusing on the Silat dance movement as a medium to promote tourism. The research method is presented to generate a study that is in harmony with the background and the problem statement. This was a qualitative descriptive analysis research with the aim of providing a comprehensive illustration of performance art as a medium to promote tourism in West Sumatera. Findings Minangkabau ethnic dance movement, which is based on custom and religion, includes movements originating from the Silat movement. Movements in Minangkabau dance include Silat movements, such as attacking and fending off, rolling over, sawhorse posture and leg and hand movements. This is an original movement source and derives from cultural movements born from the fighter. That is why the Minangkabau dancer is a male; females were initially not allowed to dance because the movements are not suitable for them. Movement stylization suitable for a woman appears when she starts involving in dance movements in Minangkabau. Given the basis of culture and religion, the concept of suitable movements for a woman involves having no pelvic-rocking movements, erotic movements (with legs, hands and head) or other movements, such as rolling over, fighting and fending off. When male and female dancers perform together, they are not allowed to touch each other. Originality/value The movement in the dancing art of Minangkabau actually should be in harmony with, balanced on and based on the value of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabulah, which is the philosophy of the Minangkabau ethnic group. This means, a religious value must be seen in all expressions of dance movements of the Minangkabau ethnic group; no expression should contradict the values of the religious and customs value. A similar perception to the philosophy states that it is very helpful for Indonesian choreographer for the needs of aesthetic from the rich of Indonesian dance. Also, Hastuti and Supriyanti (2012) state that it can be a differentiator from the dance rules of Western thought patterns.

Abstract:

Abstract Numerous recent studies have sought to determine the developmental trajectories of motor-related oscillatory responses from youth to adulthood. However, most of this work has relied on simple movements, and rarely have these studies linked developmental neural changes with maturational improvements in motor performance. In this study, we recorded magnetoencephalography during a complex finger-tapping task in a large sample of 107 healthy youth aged 9–15 years old. The relationships between region-specific neural activity, age, and performance metrics were examined using structural equation modeling. We found strong developmental effects on behavior and beta oscillatory activity during movement planning, as well as associations between planning-related beta activity and activity within the same region during the movement execution period. However, when all factors were tested, we found that only right parietal cortex beta dynamics mediated the relationship between age and performance on the task. These data suggest that strong, sustained beta activity within the right parietal cortex enhances motor performance, and that these sustained oscillations develop through childhood into early adolescence. In sum, these are the first data to link developmental trajectories in beta oscillatory dynamics with distinct motor performance metrics and implicate the right parietal cortex as a crucial hub in movement execution.

Abstract:

Human-computer interaction is an important field in computer science. One means of such interaction is an eye gaze interface using both optical and electrical methods. Conventional optical devices for measuring eye movement are generally expensive and restrict user head movement. In this paper, we propose a novel eye gesture input interface (EGII) that does not require a head-mounted display. Precise eyemovement in combinations of direction is determined by electrooculographic signals amplified via AC coupling. We also developed and evaluated direction algorithms for determining features of the novel EGII. The best algorithm showed a success rate of 97% in recognizing eye movement in different direction combinations. We also created a small portable measurement device containing a biological amplifier to amplify signals and an A/D board for importing signals. Mean accuracy for the EGII was 95.6% out of 12 possible choices using the selected algorithm and our device. This device can thus be used anywhere and anyone.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine whether Educational Kinesiology® integration movements or repatterning in conjunction with the integration movements affect the response times of college students to a visual stimulus. Ten men and ten women were randomly assigned to each of the three conditions: control, Edu-K movement, or repatterned Edu-K movements. Each subject was pretested on simple and choice response-time tasks. Following the pretest, subjects in the control group sat quietly for 10 minutes. The movement group utilized seven Brain Gym® activities. Subjects in the repatterned group experienced Dennison's Laterality Repatterning prior to doing the same Brain Gym activities. All subjects were then retested to assess changes in performance using 30 trials of each task. Statistical analyses indicated significant differences in improvement between the groups on the 4-choice task, with the repatterned group showing greater change than the Edu-K movement-only group, who in turn showed greater improvement than the control group. The groups improved by 6%, 31/2%, and 1%, respectively. No group differences were significant on the simple task, although a similar trend was indicated. Men responded faster than women on both tasks; however, the amount of improvement was similar for both.

Abstract:

Motor skill learning involves a practice-induced improvement in the speed and/or accuracy of a discrete movement. It is often thought that paradigms involving repetitive practice of discrete movements performed in a fixed sequence result in a further enhancement of skill beyond practice of the individual movements in a random order. Sequence-specific performance improvements could, however, arise without practice as a result of knowledge of the sequence order; knowledge could operate by either enabling advanced motor planning of the known sequence elements or by increasing overall motivation. Here, we examined how knowledge and practice contribute to performance of a sequence of movements. We found that explicit knowledge provided through instruction produced practice-independent improvements in reaction time and execution quality. These performance improvements occurred even for random elements within a partially known sequence, indicative of a general motivational effect rather than a sequence-specific effect of advanced planning. This motivational effect suggests that knowledge influences performance in a manner analogous to reward. Additionally, practice led to similar improvements in execution quality for both known and random sequences. The lack of interaction between knowledge and practice suggests that any skill acquisition occurring during discrete sequence tasks arises solely from practice of the individual movement elements, independent of their order. We conclude that performance improvements in discrete sequence tasks arise from the combination of knowledge-based motivation and sequence-independent practice; investigating this interplay between cognition and movement may facilitate a greater understanding of the acquisition of skilled behavior.

Abstract:

In Reply.— Dr Strasburger is correct to be appalled at the continuing high rates of perceived inadequacy of pediatric residency training in psychosocial issues and in adolescent medicine, as was documented in our recent article.1 But our study did reveal that there has been movement in the right direction during the 10 years of pediatric training since the Task Force report, especially in the five most recent years of training. Our figures showed, for example, that in 1978, when pediatricians were surveyed for the Task Force report, 66% felt that their training in adolescent medicine was insufficient.

Abstract:

the psychical, physical and mental development of a pre-school pupil, cognition process of the surrounding world, improvement of body’s functional abilities and development of physical characteristics is only possible through child’s physical activity. In order for the child to be active, he/she needs to learn the basic movements essential for life. By learning these movements and the methods or techniques of their executions the movement experience of the child is enriched. And this movement experience is necessary for various situations in life as well as for independent functioning. Promotion of movements and activities in preschool is linked with the entire pedagogical process that is being realized during the whole day.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to investigate the change of fabric movement by introducing a pulsator in a front-loading washer. To examine the effect of the changed fabric movements on washing performance, detergency, mechanical action, wrinkling, tangling, and tensile strength were also investigated. Three-dimensional fabric movement was analyzed by representing the fabric center in the washer as XYZ coordinate values. Seven indexes of fabric movement were used to analyze the correlation between fabric movement and detergency. On comparing fabric movements using the indexes, the front-loading washer with a built-in pulsator showed more diverse fabric movements than the conventional washer and, in particular, movement in the depth direction of the drum occurred more frequently in the newly developed system. This led to 7.6% higher detergency compared to the conventional one, possibly due to the increased interaction between fabrics. Regression analysis verified that the diversified fabric movements induced by the pulsator in the front-loading washer resulted in the improvement of detergency. The different fabric movements in the newly developed system also affected fabric damage, tangling and wrinkling.

Abstract:

✓ Surgery for movement disorders is most commonly performed in patients with dyskinesia and tremor associated with Parkinson's disease or in those with essential tremor. The role of ablative surgery or deep brain stimulation in patients with choreiform movements is poorly defined.The authors placed thalamic stimulation systems in two children with disabling choreiform disorders due to intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral palsy. Each patient displayed choreiform movements in the upper extremities both at rest and with intention, which interfered with daily activities and socialization. Both children obtained significant improvement in their choreiform movements, and their upper extremity function improved with no incidence of morbidity. Thalamic stimulation appears to be a promising and nonablative approach for children with choreiform movement disorders.

Abstract:

SUMMARYThe paper addresses the problem of speed adaptation of movements subject to environmental constraints. Our approach relies on a novel formulation of velocity profiles as an extension of dynamic movement primitives (DMP). The framework allows for compact representation of non-uniformly accelerated motion as well as simple modulation of the movement parameters. In the paper, we evaluate two model free methods by which optimal parameters can be obtained: iterative learning control (ILC) and policy search based reinforcement learning (RL). The applicability of each method is discussed and evaluated on two distinct cases, which are hard to model using standard techniques. The first deals with hard contacts with the environment while the second process involves liquid dynamics. We find ILC to be very efficient in cases where task parameters can be easily described with an error function. On the other hand, RL has stronger convergence properties and can therefore provide a solution in the general case.

Abstract:

Moving (tapping) to a beat can objectively improve the perception of timing. Here we examine whether auditory feedback from tapping is a requirement for this improvement. In this experiment, two groups of participants heard a series of isochronous beats, and identified whether a probe tone after a short silence was consistent with the timing of the preceding sequence. On half of the trials, participants tapped along on an electronic drum pad up to and including the probe tone, and on half of the trials they listened without tapping. In the auditory feedback (AF) group sounds from tapping were available to participants and in the no auditory feedback (NAF) group these sounds were masked using white noise. In both groups, movement improved timing judgments of the probe tone, however this improvement was more pronounced when auditory feedback was present. Additionally, tapping was more accurate when auditory feedback was available. While previously we demonstrated an effect of movement on perceived timing, here we clarify that movement alone is sufficient to trigger this improvement (independent of the movement’s auditory consequences). We identify the importance of auditory feedback as a cue for movement timing, which subsequently affects perceived timing of an external stimulus. Additionally we have demonstrated that movement alone can improve timing perception, independent of the auditory feedback caused by this movement.

Abstract:

Owing to the iteroparous nature of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), a seaward migrating cohort may consist of juveniles and adults that differ in size, maturity, experience, and in the motivation and consequences of migratory movements. Few studies have investigated the role of ontogeny in shaping intrapopulation variability in movement patterns among Atlantic salmon monitored under the same environmental conditions. This study contrasted the movements of smolts and kelts in two Canadian (Newfoundland) populations from marine entry through coastal embayments and quantified the influence of local water temperatures on movement patterns. Significant differences in migration routes, migration speed, and diel movements between smolts and kelts were present. Kelts generally displayed faster, more directed, and less nocturnal movements compared with smolts. Temperature influenced seaward movement positively, as well as the degree of diurnal movement. Prolonged nearshore residency by smolts and kelts in the two embayments was accompanied by a considerable improvement in ocean thermal conditions, hypothesized to promote open ocean entry during conditions favorable to migration performance.

Objectives: To demonstrate the efficacy of EMDR in complex multiplepsychological trauma after failed drug treatment from selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor(SSRI) in a diagnosed case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Method: Singleparticipant of this case study, a sitting session judge of judicial governmental scaffold reportedto this mental health tertiary care facility at his own accord with features of intense anxiety,depression, maladjustment issues and post- traumatic stress for a duration of several months.As a partial responder to full trial of SSRI he was enrolled for EMDR therapy to address hissymptoms of intense anxiety, panic attacks, being overwhelmingly fearful, depressed, low selfesteem,inappropriate feelings of guilt, flashbacks, avoidance, nightmares, hyper-arousal andinability to perform as a judicial head in active war stricken area of northern Pakistan. Completepsychiatric evaluation was carried out and after the discontinuation of SSRIs he was scoredon Impact of Event Scale (IES). He fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for PTSD as evaluated by theEnglish version of the PTSD module of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV administeredonce before commencement of EMDR. Safe place of the client was established and 8 stagedprotocol of EMDR was started with him. Multiple EMDR sessions were conducted. Result:The case presented in this paper had multiple psychological trauma forms and failed drugtreatment and yet it was observed that EMDR provided marked improvement in all the domainsof his deficits and this was at a prompt speed as compared to cognitive behavioural therapy(CBT) which usually takes longer duration of therapy to achieve similar results. Conclusions:EMDR provides marked improvement in all domains of complex mental trauma and traumaticmemories. Improvement attained was prompt and enduring as compared to other formsof established therapies and drug treatment indicating permanent changes happening atneurobiological levels of brain.

Abstract:

Adults with Down syndrome (DS), an undifferentiated developmental delay (UnD) and no developmental delay practiced a manual target aiming task either with or without on-line visual feedback. Following acquisition, participants performed a retention test involving the same sensory condition available during practice, followed by a transfer test under the other sensory condition. Although the participants with UnD were highly dependent on visual feedback for movement accuracy, participants with DS relied more on either kinesthetic feedback or feedforward control for spatial precision. Participants in all three groups improved their movement times with practice. This improvement was associated both with an increase in peak velocity and a reduction in the time required to decelerate their aiming movements. Contrary to our expectations, improvements in performance were not specific to the sensory conditions available during practice.

Abstract:

Aiming and tapping movements were analysed repeatedly over a three-week period in a patient who was hemideafferented due to an ischaemic posterior thalamic lesion. Contrasting behaviour observed in six healthy subjects, nine hemiparetic patients and one patient with hemianopic stroke, allowed the determination of behavioural deficits related to deafferentation. Finger tapping was not impaired specifically and did not improve with practice in the deafferented patient. When aiming movements were investigated, accuracy of the first, largely preprogrammed, phase of movement and timing of the late homing-in phase were impaired specifically in the deafferented patient. Practice led to a step-like change in preprogramming amplitude of the ballistic movement component, a gradual improvement of temporal efficiency of the early movement phase and a more marked improvement of the homing-in phase. Qualitatively comparable but quantitatively less marked effects of practice were documented for hemiparetic patients. These results demonstrated that deafferentation affects preprogrammed aspects of movement and those influenced by current control and that motor learning is possible with central deafferentation, even for aspects of performance that are impaired specifically. It is postulated that motor learning was mediated by changes in strategy (motor programming) and improved efficiency of intact motor control processes (visuomotor control).

Abstract:

Efficient mobility management involves micromobilityprinciples. The performance of the Hierarchical MobileIPv6 (HMIPv6) protocol, a representative micro-mobilityapproach, is affected by the Mobility Anchor Point (MAP)selection. In this paper, we propose a new selection method based on a prediction of the future movements of Mobile Nodes (MNs). The proposed algorithms exploit the information about the future availability of MAPs and choose those MAPs that assure a better service. An improvement to the evaluation methodology is also proposed. The algorithms are compared to each other notonly in synthetic but also in realistic internet topologies, which has not been a practice in the past. The simulation results show promising improvements in terms of distance from chosen MAPs and frequency of MAP changes. Moreover, we showed that, for perceivable improvement of MAP selection, absolute accuracy of movement prediction is not required. As pioneers in the mobility management analysis in realistic environment, we ascertain that offering MAP services over more than one Autonomous System (AS) proves beneficial.

Abstract:

This paper reviews our understanding of the interception of moving objects. Interception is a demanding task that requires both spatial and temporal precision. The required precision must be achieved on the basis of imprecise and sometimes biased sensory information. We argue that people make precise interceptive movements by continuously adjusting their movements. Initial estimates of how the movement should progress can be quite inaccurate. As the movement evolves, the estimate of how the rest of the movement should progress gradually becomes more reliable as prediction is replaced by sensory information about the progress of the movement. The improvement is particularly important when things do not progress as anticipated. Constantly adjusting one’s estimate of how the movement should progress combines the opportunity to move in a way that one anticipates will best meet the task demands with correcting for any errors in such anticipation. The fact that the ongoing movement might have to be adjusted can be considered when determining how to move, and any systematic anticipation errors can be corrected on the basis of the outcome of earlier actions.

Abstract:

We investigate whether the bid/ask queue imbalance in a limit order book (LOB) provides significant predictive power for the direction of the next mid-price movement. For each of 10 liquid stocks on Nasdaq, we fit logistic regressions between the queue imbalance and the direction of the subsequent mid-price movement, and we find a strongly statistically significant relationship in each case. Compared to a simple null model, we find that our logistic regression fits provide a considerable improvement in both binary and probabilistic classification of mid-price movements for large-tick stocks and a moderate improvement in both binary and probabilistic classification of mid-price movements for small-tick stocks. We also perform local logistic regression fits on the same data, and find that this semi-parametric approach slightly outperforms our logistic regression fits, at the expense of being more computationally intensive to implement.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, video motion analysis is widely used. It is known that such a higher mental function as creative thinking manifests itself in the motor activity of the body, as a result of which the movement becomes expressive. Since the quality of the images presented affects the organization of movement, it is presumably possible to characterize this psychosomatic connection through an assessment of the expressiveness of movement. AIMS: fixation in graphic and digital format of expressive movement, as well as the identification of spatio-temporal criteria for the quantitative assessment of expressiveness. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The experiment involved 3 healthy volunteers with different levels of acting training. The structure of expressive movement was presented in a graphic and digital format, which made it possible to calculate spatio-temporal indicators and give an objective quantitative assessment of the quality of expressiveness of movements of the participants in the experiment. RESULTS: It has been established that expressive movements arise with the integration of the following components: motor abilities and motor experience, movement image, plastically expressive structure of movement construction. In addition, expressive movements affect deep psychological functions: imagination, creative thinking, emotional control, etc. CONCLUSION: The inclusion in the course of medical rehabilitation of patients with various pathologies of the direction of ergotherapy, based on the analysis and assessment of the expressiveness of movement, will contribute to the complex restoration of the connection between consciousness and movement, correction of psychosomatic deviations, the expansion of movement patterns, improvement of body feeling and movement control.

Abstract:

A novel approach is described for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Eye-movement desensitisation (EMD) requires the patient to generate images of the trauma in the mind and define physiological and emotional arousal states. While concentrating on these states, lateral multisaccardic eye movements are induced. Ten consecutive cases are reported who presented with symptoms originating from a range of traumas. The effectiveness of EMD in reducing symptoms outlined by DSM–III–R is described. An independent rater indicated that eight of the ten cases showed considerable improvement in PTSD symptoms following EMD, which was maintained at follow-up. Particular reference is given to the ‘specificity’ of EMD in treating symptoms and the changing pattern of effect at follow-up.

Abstract:

It is a significant improvement that the physical movements directly related to human physiology can be detected with high accuracy using sensors. In our study, three-axis accelerometer data recorded using a cell phone sensor in a controlled manner were used. Validation of walking, jogging, up-stairs, down-stair movements is aimed. For this purpose, local mean decomposition (LMD) function was used. The axis (x, y, z) in which the orthogonality value obtained from LMD was high was determined. Then, it was evaluated that there is movement in the direction of high value axis. While there is a high degree of accuracy in up-stair, down-stair and jogging movements, the desired success in walking movement was not achieved.

Abstract:

Let G be a permutation group on a set Ω with no fixed points in Ω and let m be a positive integer. Then we define the movement of G as, m := move(G) := supΓ{|Γg \ Γ| │ g ∈ G}. Let p be a prime, p ≥ 5. If G is not a 2-group and p is the least odd prime dividing |G|, then we show that n := |Ω| ≤ 4m – p + 3.Moreover, if we suppose that the permutation group induced by G on each orbit is not a 2-group then we improve the last bound of n and for an infinite family of groups the bound is attained.
