Effects of substituting sedentary time with physical activity on body mass index in Japanese adults with Down syndrome: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: and Rationale: Obesity is a health challenge for adults with Down syndrome. Therefore, a physical activity promotion program is required to prevent or reduce obesity in adults with this condition. However, there is a lack of evidence of useful risk reduction initiatives.

Working memory load modulates anticipatory postural adjustments during step initiation.

Working memory (WM) can influence selective attention. However, the effect of WM load on postural standing tasks has been poorly understood, even though these tasks require attentional resources. The purpose of this study was to examine whether WM load would impact anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) during step initiation.

Intermuscular Coherence during Quiet Standing in Sub-Acute Patients after Stroke: An Exploratory Study.

Asymmetrically impaired standing control is a prevalent disability among stroke patients; however, most of the neuromuscular characteristics are unclear. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to investigate between-limb differences in intermuscular coherence during quiet standing. Consequently, 15 patients who had sub-acute stroke performed a quiet standing task without assistive devices, and electromyography was measured on the bilateral tibialis anterior (TA), soleus (SL), and medial gastrocnemius (MG).
