▼ The primary motor cortex (M1) can dynamically control the magnitude of motor refinement through motor plasticity. Plasticity can be investigated by looking at changes to motor excitability, which has been established to be stronger in the non-dominant hemisphere of right handed participants. However, it is unclear if these differences in excitability following a training task would still be present if participants performed a task that was equally as difficult for both the dominant and non-dominant hands. Thus, the first goal of this thesis was to develop and validate a novel motor training task designed to be equally challenging for both hands. Participants were required to trace a novel sinusoidal pattern, varying in both amplitude and frequency that was mirrored in both the right and left hand. The time course of learning was plotted over two separate training sessions. The second study then utilized this task to answer the question of which hemisphere has a greater plastic potential, determine by quantifying changes motor excitability, and the time-course over which these changes occur. Motor cortical excitability before and after learning was investigated using recruitment curves which evoke MEPs at 7 different stimulation intensities in order to better capture a more robust measure of hemispheric excitability for both the left and right hand. The training task was indeed novel as it equally challenged both the dominant and non-dominant hands of a healthy right handed population and lead to remarkably similar learning curves over six blocks of learning and similar retention. In the second study, only the dominant hemisphere had significant decreases in excitability following the motor learning task. A secondary study indicated that the time-course over which these changes occurs suggests that when learning a novel training task which the participant is na??ve to, motor training and increases to performance have a rapid onset as changes to excitability were only seen on the first day of training. This may indicate that even though the non-dominant hemisphere has greater initial excitability, the dominant hemisphere has a greater ability to modulate excitability levels showing a greater potential for plastic adaption.

A imobilização de membros e/ou articulações é prática utilizada na clínica no tratamento de diversas patologias, podendo variar em sua extensão e duração. Acometimentos ortopédicos comuns, como fraturas e lesões músculo-tendíneas, podem exigir como tratamento de dias a semanas de imobilização do segmento afetado. Além dos efeitos clínicos almejados, a imobilização desencadeia alterações negativas que afetam localmente o sistema musculoesquelético, mas que também trazem consequências para o sistema nervoso central (SNC) e sistema nervoso periférico. Tais consequências negativas implicam em perdas funcionais, que podem levar à dependência parcial ou completa para a realização de atividades da vida diária, como a higiene, a alimentação e a locomoção, com enormes custos individuais, familiares e sociais. É necessário, portanto, esclarecer a natureza de tais efeitos negativos e, em especial identificar o quão cedo se apresentam as alterações comportamentais e fisiológicas decorrentes do imobilismo, assim como quantificá-las e determinar a efetividade de estratégias de interferência neste processo. Neste trabalho, investigamos os efeitos de 24 horas de imobilização sobre diferentes tarefas motoras, como apertar botões, realizar a oposição do polegar em sequências variadas e fazer o alcance de alvos com o membro superior. Investigamos também, para a tarefa de oposição do polegar, o potencial terapêutico do treino motor imaginário durante o período de imobilização. Em nossos resultados, não encontramos efeitos estatísticamente significativos da imobilização sobre o comportamento motor nas tarefas pesquisadas. Adicionalmente, o treino motor imaginário na tarefa de oposição do polegar levou a uma piora no desempenho na tarefa de alcance. Esses resultados são relevantes no sentido de ressaltar que a imobilização, um recurso terapêutico importante, apresenta efeitos colaterais, mas esses não se instalam tão rapidamente quanto inicialmente hipotetizamos. É provável, ainda, que a imobilização atue de forma distinta sobre diferentes habilidades motoras, sendo umas prejudicadas com maior intensidade e precocidade do que outras. Entre as habilidades motoras afetadas pela imobilização, pode ser que encontremos, inclusive, a habilidade de imaginar cinestesicamente movimentos. O presente estudo investigou um tipo específico de treino motor imaginário, em voluntários saudáveis, submetidos a um período extremamente curto de imobilização. Possivelmente, os resultados de outros tipos de treino (variando, por exemplo, a intensidade do treino, a forma de admnistração e até mesmo a tarefa) podem ser diferentes. As sutilezas envolvidas na execução do treino motor imaginário provavelmente são a raiz da variabilidade nos resultados obtidos nos diversos experimentos da literatura. Os usos do treino motor imaginário devem, portanto, continuar a ser submetidos à experimentação, para que sua prescrição seja criteriosa e beneficie satisfatoriamente a função motora após a imobilização

The immobilization of body segments is frequently used for…

Goda möjligheter till rörelse och medveten motorisk träning skapar goda möjligheter för barn att utveckla motoriska färdigheter, vilket kan leda till bättre skolprestationer. Forskning visar att dagens stillasittande aktiviteter så som tv, surfplattor och datorer m.m. har negativ inverkan på hälsan och kan leda till en rad olika negativa hälsoeffekter. Denna studie fokuserar på pedagogers medvetenhet, syn och kunskap angående barns motoriska utveckling samt hur de arbetar för att stimulera förskolebarnen till att utveckla goda motoriska färdigheter. Metoden som använts i undersökningen är semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex stycken förskollärare. Deras svar har behandlats i studiens i resultat- och analysdel. Tidigare forskning har visat att motorisk träning i tidig ålder ger en god hälsa och bra förutsättningar för kognitiv inlärning. Motoriken anses ha betydelse får såväl motoriska som sociala färdigheter samt en god självkänsla. Resultatet i den här studien visar att det skiljer sig ganska mycket mellan de olika förskolorna och att mycket hänger på pedagogens ambitionsnivå och intresse för just motorisk utveckling. Det framkommer att några av pedagogerna jobbar aktivt och medvetet med motoriska övningar, medan andra anser att barnen automatiskt får mycket motorisk träning på förskolan genom exempelvis utegården. Förskolegården och skogen lyfts fram som betydelsefulla platser för motorisk träning enligt många av förskollärarna. Det framkommer även att flera utav förskollärarna anser att det finns för lite kunskap kring ämnet motorik i förskolan. I den här studiens diskussionsdel diskuteras resultatet i förhållande till tidigare forskning.

A good possibility for movement and conscious motor training creates opportunities for children to develop motor skills, which can lead to better school performance. Previous research shows that today's sedentary activities such as TV, tablets and computers etc. have negative impact on health and may lead to a variety of adverse health effects. This study focuses on finding out what grade of awareness, vision and knowledge preschool teachers have about child motor development, and how they work to stimulate the children in pre-school so that they develop good motor skills. The method used in the study is semi-structured interviews with six pre-school teachers. Their answers will be processed in the results and analysis section of the work. Previous research has shown that motor training at an early age gives good health and good opportunities for cognitive learning. Motor skills are considered pertinent in order to develop both social skills and a good self-esteem. The results of this study show that there are big differences between the various pre-schools and much depends on the pre-school teachers level of ambition and interest in the development of motor skills. It appears that some of the teachers are working actively and consciously with motor exercises, while others believe that children automatically get a lot of motor skill training in…

▼ There is growing knowledge that neuronal circuitry undergoes alteration throughout development. Experience plays a key role in the reorganization of neuronal circuitry through the various mechanisms of learning. For example, when an animal is deprived of sensory input such as light in one or both sides of the eye, it can result in blindness on that side. In a study of rats placed in either isolated or enriched environments, those placed in enriched environments performed better on learning tests (maze test) than those placed in isolated environment. There was increased neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, myelination and angiogenesis in rats placed in enriched environments. These were all as a result of learning, which induces neuroplasticity in the nervous system. The goals of this study were to determine how evoked movement is altered by changes in key parameters of light stimulation: intensity and period and to determine if one hour of light (optogenetic) stimulation could give rise to plastic changes in the nervous system as indicated by alterations in spontaneous motility. To ascertain how evoked motor activity influences neuronal activity through learning and experience, optogenetics was employed to evoke movement in an embryonic chick at embryonic day nine (E9) after electroporation of a channelrhodopsin variant, ChIEF, into the neural tube. I first attempted to determine the optimal intensity needed to cause neuroplasticity in an embryonic chick by varying current to a LED light to produce three different light intensities. A protocol of 5 pulses of light with a period of 2 seconds was used to illuminate the right leg of 5 embryonic chicks with each intensity. To determine the optimal period of stimulation, I varied the period to 3 s and 4 s with one animal. Stimulation for an hour with a training protocol of 1800 pulses/hour (with a period of 2 s) of blue light (470 nm) was then used to illuminate the right thigh of the embryonic chick. There were varied responses to light of all intensities used for stimulation, but high light intensity (maximum - 100%) seemed to have produced the best responses in terms of producing the largest joint angle changes and shortest latencies of movement in all joints of the leg of embryonic chick. Movements of the hip and ankle joints were the most robust. This was closely followed by those of the mid (83.33%) intensity. Therefore, it can be inferred that the greater the intensity of light, the better the response. The training protocol did not produce significant changes in embryonic activity. There were some decreases in joint angles and variable spontaneous movement duration in all animals used but there could be some changes going on at the neuronal or muscular level which were beyond the scope of this study to investigate. It is my hope that this study will provide some knowledge pertinent to the treatment or management of neurodevelopmental disorders that may result in paraplegia or Erb's palsy.

L’objectif de ce travail était d’apporter des données encore inconnu sur la relation entre les corrélats neurophysiologiques de l’action et la représentation mentale. Un ensemble de six expérimentations ont été menées. Celles-ci nous ont permis de mieux comprendre les modalités d’utilisation de l’imagerie motrice qu’elle soit concomitante ou réaliser après la pratique réelle. Les effets de la pratique physique sur la capacité d’utilisation de l’imagerie motrice ont aussi été explorés. Nos résultats montrent que l’imagerie motrice est très efficace, qu’elle soit pratiquée de manière concomitante à la pratique réelle ou après celle-ci lorsque la fatigue physique est importante. Nous démontrons que des capacités d’imagerie élevées ne sont pas systématiquement reliées à une amélioration de la performance. De manière inédite nous démontrons que la pratique réelle peut–être bénéfique pour la capacité d’imagerie motrice d’une habilité fortement automatisée. De plus, des sessions de pratique physique prolongées et intermittentes semblent plus perturber la capacité d’imagerie motrice qu’une pratique continue. L’ensemble de ces résultats est une contribution importante aux connaissances relatives à l’utilisation de l’imagerie motrice dans la réhabilitation ou encore dans la pratique physique

The main purpose of the present work was to add substantial data regarding the psychophysiological correlates of action with respective mental representation. A total of six experimental protocols were developed to understand the mechanisms of using motor imagery concomitant and after actual practice, and the effects of exercise on motor imagery ability. According to our findings, motor imagery can very be usefull when performed concomitant with actual practice and even after an exercise session, when fatigue is most present. We demonstrate that higher levels of motor imagery ability are not always linked with greater performance enhancement. Unprecedentedly, we reported that an exercise session might even be beneficial for motor imagery ability of high-automated task. In addition, prolonged intermittent exercise session are more likely to impair motor imagery ability in comparison with continuous exercise. These findings are of special interest of sports coaches and rehabilitation professionals, which usually incorporate motor imagery into their physical training sessions

▼ The goal of this thesis is to develop a volumetric display for portraying human body motions in real-time. The results of three-dimensional motion analyses are typically displayed on a two-dimensional video screen. While such views may be rotated to give the appearance of a three dimensional motion, viewing a flat screen is inherently different from a truly three-dimensional display. A volumetric display would allow perception of the motion in three true dimensions and multiple observers could simultaneously view the same motion from different angles. Two different approaches to volumetric displays were explored, an LED display and a projected-light string display. The former is controlled by a microcontroller that is programmed to light a 3-D array of LEDs, and the latter involves projection of a two-dimensional image onto an array of vertical strings to create the three-dimensional image. Because it was less expensive to fabricate and easier to interface with the motion capture system, it was decided to move forward with the projected-light string display. Using a six camera Eagle Motion System, the coordinates of markers placed on human body segments were recorded and accessed in MATLAB in real-time. The marker data were used to calculate intersections between the body segments and the strings in the display. These intersections were represented as rectangles in a two-dimensional image projected onto the strings to create the three-dimensional image. Three applications were developed to demonstrate the capabilities of the display: (1) real-time posture assessment and training; (2) feedback of trunk lean angles during walking to lessen loads on painful joints; and (3) feedback of low back loads during a lifting task. Preliminary data collected during tests of these applications suggest that the use of the display conveys benefits to motor learning. To evaluate these effects more completely, further research is needed to compare the use of volumetric displays to other forms of feedback commonly used to enhance motor learning.

▼ Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as alterações da força rápida numa equipa de futebol depois vinte e duas semanas de treino sensório-motor (aplicação sistemática de exercícios específicos na melhoria da componente coordenativa). Metodologia: A amostra foi composta por 18 jogadores de futebol do sexo masculino, da categoria sub-19 de uma equipa, que participa no Campeonato Nacional da 1ª divisão (idade = 17,5±0,51 anos; altura = 1,79±0,06 m; peso = 69,42±7,25 kg). A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos com nove jogadores cada. O grupo 1 (G1) constituído pelos jogadores que para além do treino normal de futebol que a equipa faz, realizam um programa complementar de treino sensório-motor e o grupo 2 (G2) que realiza unicamente o treino normal de futebol. Os testes a realizar para avaliar a força rápida serão realizados em três momentos diferentes início, meio e final da época desportiva, através de protocolos específicos da avaliação desta capacidade composta por Squat Jump (SJ), Countermovement Jump (CMJ) e Repeated Jump (RJ) sobre uma plataforma de forças. Para a análise estatística dos valores recolhidos, fez-se a aplicação do teste Mann-Whitney U test. Resultados: Encontraram-se diferenças significativas entre os grupos no terceiro momento de avaliação, para os valores obtidos no SJ (p=0,022) e no CMJ (p=0,022). Em relação aos valores do RJ, encontraram-se diferenças significativas entre os grupos nos intervalos de tempo 0”-5” para o segundo (p=0,012) e terceiro momento de avaliação (p=0,003) e entre os 25”-30” no terceiro momento de avaliação (p=0,031). Conclusões: O treino normal de futebol conjuntamente com a aplicação de um programa complementar de treino sensório-motor com a periodicidade de duas vezes por semana ao longo de vinte e duas semanas, promove ganhos de força rápida nos membros inferiores; ABSTRACT:Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the functional adaptations of a specific sensorimotor training on the explosive strength qualities during squat jump, countermovement jump and repeated jump. Methods: The specific sensoriomotor training was applied to 18 young elite soccer players (sub_19) team, wich participates in the National League Division 1 (age=17,5±0,51 years, height=1,79±0,0 6m, weight=69,42±7,25 Kg). The sample was divided into two groups with nine players each (G1-experimental group; G2-contolo group), were tested for squat jump, countermovement jump and repeated jump, in tree different moments (beginning, middle and end of soccer season). To allow comparison between groups, the Mann-Whitney U test was used. Results: The significative difference between both groups was found in SJ in the third moment (p=0,022) and in CMJ (p=0,022) also in the third moment. The statistics difference in RJ, tests was found 0”-5” at second moment (p=0,012) and third moment (p=0,003) and between 25”-30” in third moment (p=0,031).

▼ Complex motions are generally accepted as movements which consists of at least 2 Degrees of Freedom (DoFs) actuated in a coordinated manner, which takes more than one practice session to be mastered, and that are ecologically valid (see Wulf et al. 2002 for a clear statement). The techniques to teach and re-teach (also, (re-)learn) a complex motion are thoroughly investigated by the motor learning research community since decades and up to know. There is certain agreement on the theses of practice intensity and duration as a factor for learning. However, the content of the practice sessions is still, only, partially understood. One point which is still to be confirmed is the "Part-whole transfer" paradigm. This theory promulgates the fact that motions are rather a composition where alphabet items are skillfully combined to produce a dexterous movement and that the better the "alphabet" is known, the faster the learning will be and dexterous the result. The importance of the whole practice of a full motion remains still unknown. Our hypotheses were that inclusion of the full motion is crucial for correctly learning a complex motion pattern. We hypothesized, also, that the way of re-composition of a motion would play a role in the performance after the training and the retention of the learned skill, as well as the transferability of its fundamentals to a new skill. In this thesis, these questions are investigated. For this, an experiment with 16 healthy subjects has been conducted. The subjects where pseudo-randomly assigned to one of the following groups: whole visuo-haptic coordination training, anatomical visuo-haptic coordination training, anatomical visuo-haptic training and anatomical visual-only training. The importance of the haptic coordination training (i.e. practice of the whole motion together) was investigated in the first two groups, while the coordination pattern was shown only visually in the last two groups. Additionally, the way of showing the single components (anatomically or holistically) and the type of feedback (visual-only or visuo-haptic) was investigated in the different groups designed. The results showed that the full trajectory is better learned by subjects who were shown the full motion visuo-haptically (opposed to only visually). The transfer and the consolidation of the motion pattern (also translated into a better retention) are also benefited by adding special emphasis to the single components of a motion first (Group 2). Only the training of the speed profile is benefited by more practicing the full motion visuo-haptically (i.e. group 1). All these aspects have, obviously, an impact in motivation. The groups which were more guided (i.e. visuo-haptic full motion guidance) felt less pressure, committed with less effort but got higher sense of competence and more motivation, not necessarily translating in better performance (somewhat in agreement with the Guidance Hypothesis). The results of this study contribute to the field of motor… Advisors/Committee Members: Vallery, Heike (mentor), Rauter, G (mentor), Marchal-Crespo, L (graduation committee), Duarte, J (graduation committee), Klamroth-Marganska, V (graduation committee), Riener, Robert (graduation committee), Abbink, David (graduation committee), Berry, Andrew (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

In the field of neurorehabilitation, robots are being used to provide assisting forces for therapeutic purposes, and with system identification & parameter estimation (SIPE) methods they are used to quantify neuromechanical parameters for diagnostic purposes. To better understand the beneficial effect of robotic assistance on the neuromechanical system during therapy, a tool is required that combines SIPE methods with robot assisted training tasks. This experimental study proposes a novel protocol that demonstrates the potential combination of quantifying neuromechanical parameters, using a quasi time-variant SIPE method, with a robot assisted visuomotor tracking task. A haptic wrist robot was used that simultaneously exerts assistive forces by means of a virtual spring, and force perturbations required for SIPE of the wrist joint. The tracking task was visually fed back through a gaming environment. The effect of robotic assistance on human effort and task performance was investigated and further clarified by the underlying neuromechanical behavior. Six healthy controls and one chronic stroke patient participated to test the protocol. The quasi time-variant SIPE method returned sufficient estimations with an average VAF of 86%. The robotic assistance resulted in an average increase of task performance but an average decrease of human effort. Findings of the neuromechanical parameters suggests that the neuromechanical system tended to behave more compliantly with robotic assistance. While the tracking task was presented as a position task, findings further suggest that higher magnitudes of robotic assistance might have elicited neuromechanical behavior more similar to force tasks. The findings are in line with the paradigm of shared haptic control which says that humans adapt their neuromechanical impedance to promote task performance when exchanging forces on the control interface of the human-robot system. It is concluded that the proposed protocol simultaneously yields methods for combined motor training and quantitative assessment of the wrist joint. Moreover, the novel quasi time-variant SIPE approach showed to be a promising tool to quantitatively assess stroke patients during intensive and frequent motor training tasks.

▼ Brain stimulation techniques capable of optimizing cortical plasticity may provide the key to improved therapeutic techniques and functional outcomes. The primary aim of this dissertation was to examine the potential of motor training (MT) augmented with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) and anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS). The secondary aim was to investigate whether the training would also be advantageous to older-adults. We hypothesized that right-handed, college-age students exposed to the treatment (n=17) would perform better short-term (directly following MT) and long-term (24 hours and 7 days following MT) on motor-skill retention tests than students receiving sham stimulation (n=14). We also hypothesized that older adults (n=9) exposed to iTBS/a-tDCS enhanced MT would demonstrate greater functional improvements than younger adults (n=16) receiving identical stimulation. iTBS and a-tDCS over the non-dominant motor cortex were used as a primer to, and in conjunction with, 20-minutes of non-dominant, upper extremity MT, respectively. The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHF) was chosen as the primary outcome measure, while the Pursuit Rotor Tracking Test (PRTT), Purdue Pegboard Test (PPB), and Fitt's Reciprocal Tapping Test (FRTT) were considered secondary outcome measures. Students receiving iTBS/a-tDCS enhanced MT made significantly greater improvements on the JTHF than the placebo-control group (p = .041). However, differences in improvement between the groups were primarily seen long-term (p-.045). Secondary outcome measures were not sensitive enough to detect a difference between the groups at any time point. Concerning the overall performance of older vs. younger participants, whose training was augmented by iTBS/a-tDCS, neither group improved more than the other on the JTHF (p= .1801). The older group scored better on the PRTT (p = .016) and the PPB (p = .0036) but not the FRTT. Although there was no short-term performance difference on any outcome measure, older adults made greater functional improvements than younger adults long-term on the PPB (p = .0039), PPB (p = .0008) and JTHF (p = .0384) (7 days post-treatment). Collectively, the results suggest that brain stimulation may be a useful adjunct to MT in healthy, younger and older adults. Brain stimulation may also eventually improve PT outcomes of neurologically-impaired patients. Advisors/Committee Members: Roger Newman-Norlund.

▼ Individuals use visual information in order to guide their avoidance behaviours. More specifically, individuals may directly perceive the time prior to colliding with an approaching obstacle (i.e., time to contact, TTC) in order to determine when to avoid. However, if the path of the approaching obstacle is highly predictable, individuals do not use a consistent TTC (Cinelli & Patla, 2007). Additionally, individuals use body- and action-scaled information to control their movements (Fajen, 2013). These avoidance behaviours differ when avoiding a human obstacle compared to an inanimate object (Hackney, Cinelli, & Frank, 2015; Knowles, Kreuser, Haas, Hyde, & Schuchart, 1976). As such, the purpose of this thesis was to examine the avoidance behaviours of individuals during a head-on collision course with an approaching person. This task assessed steering strategies in a confined environment while individuals avoided an approaching person who walked along one of four randomized paths. Avoidance behaviours were compared between males and females (Study 1), and female rugby players versus female non-athletes (Study 2) to assess the potential differences in the use of body-scaled and action-scaled information during the same paradigm. Specifically, the objectives of the current thesis aimed to examine (1) how young adults control their actions and (2) the effects of sport-specific training on avoidance behaviours of rugby players during a collision course with an approaching person. Young adults (N=20, = 22.25 ± 1.5 years, 10 males) and female rugby players (N=10, = 20 ± 0.94 years) were instructed to walk along a 10m path towards a goal located along the midline. A female confederate positioned initially along the midline 180° from the participant walked towards the participants to one of four predetermined final positions: 1) along the midline in the participants’ starting position; 2) stopped along the midline 2.5 m from her starting position; 3) to the left of the participants’ starting position; and 4) to the right of the participants’ starting position. Results from both studies revealed that when the path of the confederate was uncertain, individuals used a consistent TTC to determine when to change their path. TTC described the temporal distance between the confederate and the participant at the point of a change in path of the participant. TTC was found to be affected by sex and sports specific training, such that males avoided significantly earlier (i.e. larger TTC) and rugby players avoided significantly later (i.e. smaller TTC) than non-athlete females. However, following a change in path, sex and sport-specific training did not impact the avoidance behaviours of the groups, but rather the environment was the regulating factor. Avoidance strategies differed when the confederate stopped 2.5 m from her starting position from the other path conditions. When avoiding the stopped confederate, individuals avoided earlier (i.e. larger TTC), at a slower rate, and to a lesser magnitude. This suggests individuals may have…
