Interaction between Attention Demanding Motor and Cognitive Tasks and Static Postural Stability

The ability to share attentional resources among focal and postural tasks was similar in healthy young and elderly subjects, suggesting a reduced ability to suppress sway when the motor system was concurrently occupied with a voluntary task that shared the same input-output resources.

Effects of Self-Modeling on Self-Efficacy and Balance Beam Performance

A significant correlation between subjects' self-rated performance scores and actual performance scores for the self-modeling group was significant, suggesting that self- modeling may enhance performers' ability to assess their own performance realistically, improving their understanding and use of instructional feedback to enhance performance.

Relative frequency of knowledge of performance and motor skill learning.

It was concluded that reducing the relative frequency of KP eliminated a dependency on KP to guide performance in acquisition, which was beneficial for maintaining form in conditions in which KP was absent.

Training with an upper-limb prosthetic simulator to enhance transfer of skill across limbs.

The effects of bilateral transfer were evident for initiation time immediately on transfer, and this learning effect persisted to the retention test, suggesting cross-limb training with a prosthetic simulator may be useful for persons with recent unilateral upper-extremity amputation who are learning to use a prosthesis.

Literature review of stroke assessment for upper-extremity physical function via EEG, EMG, kinematic, and kinetic measurements and their reliability

Range of motion, mean speed, mean distance, normal path length, spectral arc length, number of peaks, and task time metrics have all demonstrated good to excellent reliability, as well as provide a finer resolution compared to discrete clinical assessment tests.
