| Abstract | In this study, the attitude of experienced coaches towards technologies and sport sciences was assessed. A questionnaire was used to evaluate three areas: (1) Attitudes towards technology and sport science in coaching, (2) Technology and scientific knowledge in practice, and (3) Perceived importance of technology and science in enhancing sport results. A group of 27 highly experienced coaches completed the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of three parts, starting with demographic information, followed by a series of 27 questions with answers on a Likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree, and finally, coaches were requested to rank 14 well-defined ‘coaching goals’ from 1 (most important) to 14 (least important). Results showed that top-level coaches rated having a good relationship with the athletes’ as a major goal. Overall, members of this group of experienced coaches seem to recognize the general importance of sport sciences, and appear to be positive about the use of sport technologies, but do not necessarily translate these positive attitudes into actual practice within their competitive sport environments, even when they all use information technology for other activities. According to these results, sport science researchers and technology developers need to adapt their strategies. Coaching education should encourage coaches to incorporate technologies as part of their coaching routines. Developing innovative resources and incorporating them in coaching education, as is done in some countries, may be a starting point. However, placing the emphasis on educating successful coaches on the practical use of technology and scientific knowledge is suggested as a short-term goal. This may allow for a more immediate effect on the attitude and practice of less senior coaches that tend to adopt methods and training routines through following the personal example provided by top-level coaches. |

| Abstract | Virtual reality environments are increasingly being used for upper limb rehabilitation in poststroke patients. Our goal was to determine if arm reaching movements made in a 2-D video-capture virtual reality environment are similar to those made in a comparable physical environment. We compared arm and trunk kinematics for reaches made with the right, dominant arm to three targets (14 trials per target) in both environments by 16 adults with right poststroke hemiparesis and by eight healthy age-matched controls. Movement kinematics were recorded with a three-camera optoelectronic system at 100 samples/s. Reaching movements made by both control and stroke subjects were affected by viewing the targets in the video-capture 2-D virtual environment. Movements were slower, shorter, less straight, less accurate and involved smaller ranges of shoulder and elbow joint excursions for target reaches in the virtual environment compared to the physical environment in all subjects. Thus, there was a decrease in the overall movement quality for movements made in the 2-D virtual environment. This suggests that 2-D video-capture virtual reality environments should be used with caution when the goal of the rehabilitation program is to improve the quality of movement patterns of the upper limb. | ||||

| Abstract | Assessment of self-feeding kinematics is seldom performed in an ecological setting. In preparation for development of an instrumented spoon for measurement of self-feeding in children with cerebral palsy (CP), the current work aimed to evaluate upper extremity kinematics of self-feeding in young children with typical development (TD) and a small, age-matched group of children with CP in a familiar setting, while eating with a spoon. METHODS: Sixty-five TD participants and six children diagnosed with spastic CP, aged 3-9 years, fed themselves while feeding was measured using miniature three-dimensional motion capture sensors (trakStar). Kinematic variables associated with different phases of self-feeding cycle (movement time, curvature, time to peak velocity and smoothness) were compared across age-groups in the TD sample and between TD children and those with CP. RESULTS: Significant between-age group differences were identified in movement times, time to peak velocity and curvature. Children with CP demonstrated slower, less smooth self-feeding movements, potentially related to activity limitations. CONCLUSIONS: The identified kinematic variables form a basis for implementation of self-feeding performance assessment in children of different ages, including those with CP, which can be deployed via an instrumented spoon. | ||||

| Abstract | We investigated whether adding vibrotactile feedback to a myoelectric-controlled hand, when visual feedback is disturbed, can improve performance during a functional test. For this purpose, able-bodied subjects, activating a myoelectric-controlled hand attached to their right hand performed the modified Box & Blocks test, grasping and manipulating wooden blocks over a partition. This was performed in 3 conditions, using a repeated-measures design: in full light, in a dark room where visual feedback was disturbed and no auditory feedback – one time with the addition of tactile feedback provided during object grasping and manipulation, and one time without any tactile feedback. The average time needed to transfer one block was measured, and an infrared camera was used to give information on the number of grasping errors during performance of the test. Our results show that when vibrotactile feedback was provided, performance time was reduced significantly, compared with when no vibrotactile feedback was available. Furthermore, the accuracy of grasping and manipulation was improved, reflected by significantly fewer errors during test performance. In conclusion, adding vibrotactile feedback to a myoelectric-controlled hand has positive effects on functional performance when visual feedback is disturbed. This may have applications to current myoelectric-controlled hands, as adding tactile feedback may help prosthesis users to improve their functional ability during daily life activities in different environments, particularly when limited visual feedback is available or desirable. | ||||
