Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Reaction and Movement Times in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: Research has suggested that examining attentional demands during functional tasks is an emergent area of study. Increased arousal may represent an attentional demand, resulting in impaired motor functioning in tasks that require fast reaction and movement times. Approach: This study examined the effects of a non-specific stressor and the resultant physiological arousal on upper extremity functional measures of … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,036 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Increased Physiological Arousal on Upper Extremity Positional Awareness in Healthy Young AdultsChristopher Kovacs, Tamara BoriesProblem statement: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of increased physiological arousal on the ability to perceive upper extremity positional awareness in healthy young adults. Approach: Thirty-eight participants were pre- and post-tested for upper extremity positional awareness using a manual kinesthesiometer. Participants in the experimental group underwent a combination of the Stroop color-word task and timed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Recovery of Upper Limb Post-Stroke: Mental Practice with Motor and Non-Motor ImageryAline Furtado Bastos, Beatriz Cantanhede Carrapatoso, Marco Orsini et al.Problem statement: Mental Practice (MP) with motor imagery consists of a method of training in which motor imagery is used to improve performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of MP with motor imagery on motor recovery of the paretic upper limb of post-stroke patients in comparison with MP with non-motor imagery. Approach: Four post-stroke patients … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2012 · 9,215 accessesView PDFCite
