Validity of a squash-specific test of change-of-direction speed.
30 May 2009 
PURPOSE: We examined the validity and reproducibility of a squash-specific test designed to assess change-of-direction speed. METHODS: 10 male squash and 10 male association-football and rugby-union players completed the Illinois agility run (IAR) ...

Age-related changes in imitating sequences of observed movements.
30 May 2009 Three experiments investigated the size and sources of age-related changes in visual imitation. In Experiment 1, young and older adults viewed sequences of quasi-random movements and then reproduced from memory what they had seen. As expected, older ...

Kinematic analysis of surgical dexterity in intraocular surgery.
30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential of motion analysis as a discriminator of surgical skill during intraocular surgery. METHODS: Twenty-four subjects were divided into 3 groups (n = 8 each) based on the number of completed phacoemulsification ...

Brief assessment of motor function: content validity and reliability of the oral motor scales.
30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: The Brief Assessment of Motor Function consists of five 0- to 10-point hierarchical scales designed for rapid assessment of gross, fine, and oral motor skills. We describe the development and evaluation of the two Brief Assessment of ...

Is perceived motor competence a constraint in children's action planning?
30 May 2009 A form of action representation of developmental interest is reach estimation-the perceptual and cognitive judgment of whether an object is within or out of reach. A common observation among children is overestimation, which, speculatively, has been ...

29 May 2009 
To develop an objective and scientific method to evaluate the brain injured and brain diseased persons with motor dysfunction, American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment was used as an exemplar. After the motor ...

24 May 2009 When we observe a movement and then reproduce it, how is this visual input transformed into motor output? Studies on stroke patients with apraxia suggest that there may be two distinct routes used for gesture imitation; an indirect route that ...

24 May 2009 In a multifinger cyclic force production task, the finger force variance measured across trials can be decomposed into two components, one that affects the combined force output ("bad variance") and one that does not ("good variance"). Previous ...
