Effects of Virtual Reality-Based Aerobic Exercise on Perceptions of Pain and Fatigue in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury.

Virtual reality (VR) has become an effective alternative to promote exercise. However, limited studies have investigated the effect of VR on pain and fatigue in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using VR during exercise on pain and fatigue in individuals with SCI.

The influence of concurrent cognitive tasks on motor performance in people with traumatic brain injury: a pilot study.

Background: Performing dual-tasks is often required for completing activities of daily living. Limited research investigated the effects of dual-tasking on gait in people with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Purpose: To investigate the effects of cognitive tasks on gait in people with TBI Methods: Seven individuals with TBI and nine controls completed walking under three conditions; usual walking, walking with questions and answers, and walking with word generation while 3D motion analysis system captured gait.

Research Trends and Recommendations for Physical Activity Interventions Among Children and Youth With Disabilities: A Review of Reviews.

This scoping review synthesized reviews of physical activity (PA) interventions for children and youth with disabilities to highlight promising elements of effective interventions, research methodological limitations, and research priorities. Twenty studies were eligible and underwent three rounds of review by an expert panel. Rich and diverse PA programs derived potential short-term benefits toward health, function, and PA.

Aquatic treadmill walking at three depths of water in people with traumatic brain injury.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse kinematic and spatiotemporal gait characteristics of aquatic treadmill walking among three different depths of water in individuals with traumatic brain injury.

Methods: A total of 13 individuals with traumatic brain injury participated in the study and completed walking trials at three different depths as follows: waist, chest, and neck level, which was adjusted by a movable floor pool. A self-selected comfortable walking speed at the waist level was used as a matched speed for all walking trials.

A comparison of using the DSM-5 and MABC-2 for estimating the developmental coordination disorder prevalence in Korean children.

Background: Previous literature has shown inconsistency in the prevalence of developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2) is often used for DCD prevalence studies, although the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) recommends four criteria.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of DCD in Korean children using the DSM-5 and MABC-2.

The biomechanical investigation of the relationship between balance and muscular strength in people with chronic stroke: a pilot cross-sectional study.

Background: Impaired balance and weak muscle strength are common deficits associated with stroke. Limited research has examined the relationship between balance and strength in people post-stroke.

Objective: To investigate the association between balance and muscular strength in people post-stroke.

Influence of water depth on energy expenditure during aquatic walking in people post stroke.

Background And Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the metabolic cost during aquatic walking at various depths in people post stroke. The secondary purpose was to examine the differences in metabolic cost between aquatic walking and land walking among individuals post stroke.

Design: A cross-sectional research design is used.

The influence of water depth on kinematic and spatiotemporal gait parameters during aquatic treadmill walking.

The purpose of this study was to investigate kinematic and spatiotemporal variables of aquatic treadmill walking at three different water depths. A total of 15 healthy individuals completed three two-minute walking trials at three different water depths. The aquatic treadmill walking was conducted at waist-depth, chest-depth and neck-depth, while a customised 3-D underwater motion analysis system captured their walking.

Cardiorespiratory Responses to Pool Floor Walking in People Poststroke.

Objective: To compare cardiorespiratory responses between pool floor walking and overground walking (OW) in people poststroke.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: University-based therapeutic exercise facility.

Effects of Taekwondo intervention on balance in children with autism spectrum disorder.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8-week Taekwondo (TKD) intervention on balance in children with autism spec-trum disorder (ASD). A total of 14 children with ASD participated in this study. Eight children (eight males; mean age, 10.

Biomechanical and perceived differences between overground and treadmill walking in children with cerebral palsy.

The treadmill is widely used as an instrument for gait training and analysis. The primary purpose of this study was to compare biomechanical variables between overground and treadmill walking in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Perceived differences between the two walking modes were also investigated by comparing self-selected walking speeds.

Post-exercise hypotensive responses following an acute bout of aquatic and overground treadmill walking in people post-stroke: a pilot study.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a single-bout of aquatic treadmill walking (ATW) and overground treadmill walking (OTW) on the magnitude and duration of post-exercise ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in people post-stroke.

Methods: Seven people post-stroke participated in a cross-sectional comparative study. BP was monitored for up to 9 hours after a 15-minute bout of ATW and OTW at approximately 70% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), performed on separate days.

The Use of Cuff Weights for Aquatic Gait Training in People Post-Stroke with Hemiparesis.

Background And Purpose: This study aimed to examine how spatiotemporal and kinematic gait variables are influenced by the application of a cuff weight during aquatic walking in people post-stroke. The secondary purpose was to compare the differences in gait responses between the placements of cuff weights on the proximal (knee weight) and distal end (ankle weight) of the shank.

Methods: Twenty-one participants post-stroke with hemiparesis aged 66.

Comparison of energy expenditure between aquatic and overground treadmill walking in people post-stroke.

Background And Purpose: This study aimed to compare the cardiorespiratory responses between aquatic treadmill walking (ATW) and overground treadmill walking (OTW) in people with hemiparesis post-stroke.

Methods: Eight participants post-stroke aged 58.5 ± 11.
