Background: A significant part of neurological rehabilitation focuses on facilitating the learning of motor skills. Training can adopt either (more) explicit or (more) implicit forms of motor learning. Gait is one of the most practiced motor skills within rehabilitation in people after stroke because …

Movement is an essential part of our lives. Throughout our lifetime, we acquire many different motor skills that are necessary to take care of ourselves (e.g., eating, dressing), to work (e.g., typing, using tools, care for others) and to pursue our hobbies (e.g., running, dancing, painting). However, …

In het tweede studiejaar van de opleiding Business Studies van Inholland is gebruik gemaakt van de businessgame T-Challenge. Uit de evaluatie van de procesgang en ervaren (leer)effecten van deze game blijkt dat dit instrument in potentie een krachtige leeromgeving is, maar dat het realiseren van gewenste …

A commentary on: Older adults can improve compensatory stepping with repeated postural perturbations by Dijkstra,B.W., Horak,F.B., Kamsma,Y.P.T., and Peterson,D.S.(2015).Front.AgingNeurosci. 7:201. doi:10.3389/fnagi.2015.00201. In sum, the results of Dijkstra etal. (2015) are of importance and significance …

Background/Aims: Analogy learning, a motor learning strategy that uses biomechanical metaphors to chunk together explicit rules of a to-be-learned motor skill. This proof-of-concept study aims to establish the feasibility and potential benefits of analogy learning in enhancing stride length regulation …

Patients who have suffered a stroke need to (re)learn motor skills in order to live independently. Cognitive deficits can make the understanding of movement instructions during rehabilitation very tough. In the sport domain, analogy learning has been shown to facilitate motor learning without the need …
