- ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL STATUS AND DUAL-TASK PERFORMANCE IN YOUNG ADULTS(2015) VOOS, Mariana Callil; PIEMONTE, Maria Elisa Pimentel; CASTELLI, Lilian Zanchetta; MACHADO, Mariane Silva Andrade; TEIXEIRA, Patricia Pereira Dos Santos; CAROMANO, Fatima Aparecida; VALLE, Luiz Eduardo Ribeiro DoThe influence of educational status on perceptual-motor performance has not been investigated. The single- and dual-task performances of 15 Low educated adults (9 men, 6 women; M age = 24.1 yr.; 6-9 yr. of education) and 15 Higher educated adults (8 men, 7 women; M age = 24.7 yr.; 10-13 yr. of education) were compared. The perceptual task consisted of verbally classifying two figures (equal or different). The motor task consisted of alternating steps from the floor to a stool. Tasks were assessed individually and simultaneously. Two analyses of variance (2 groups x 4 blocks) compared the errors and steps. The Low education group committed more errors and had less improvement on the perceptual task than the High education group. During and after the perceptual-motor task performance, errors increased only in the Low education group. Education correlated to perceptual and motor performance. The Low education group showed more errors and less step alternations on the perceptual-motor task compared to the High education group. This difference on the number of errors was also observed after the dual-task, when the perceptual task was performed alone.
- Hand Function in Muscular Dystrophies: Relationship Between Performance of Upper Limb and Jebsen-Taylor Tests(2017) ARTILHEIRO, Mariana C.; SA, Cristina dos Santos Cardoso de; FAVERO, Francis M.; WUTZKI, Hanna C.; RESENDE, Maria Bernadete Dutra de; CAROMANO, Fatima A.; VOOS, Mariana C.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) and Jebsen-Taylor Test (JTT) to assess and monitor upper limb function progression in patients with muscular dystrophy. Thirty patients diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy Type 1, and fascioscapulohumeral dystrophy were submitted to the shoulder, elbow, and wrist domains of PUL, and to JTT subtests. Spearman tests investigated the relationships between PUL and JTT total scores and domains. Correlations were classified as strong (r >= 0.70), moderate (0.40 <= r < 0.70), or weak (r <= 0.40). There were strong correlations between the PUL and JTT total scores (r= -0.706). Although JTT measures time and PUL provides kinesiologic scores, these measures were related. Therefore, muscle synergies, which control the compensatory movements and motor functions involving mainly shoulder, elbow, wrist, and finger movements, are related to timed performance in patients with muscular dystrophies.
- Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: 1-Year Locomotor Changes in Relation to a Control Group(2018) MARTINI, Joyce; CAROMANO, Fatima Aparecida; CARVALHO, Eduardo Vital; GOYA, Priscila Albuquerque; HAYASAKA, Rosana Massae; NAKAZUNE, Silvia; FAVERO, Francis Meire; VOOS, Mariana CallilWe compared the timed performance and compensatory movements of 32 boys (mean age = 10.0 years) with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and 38 healthy boys (mean age = 9.2 years) on 10-meter walking and four-step stair work (climbing and descending). Dependent measures were digital scores on the Functional Evaluation Scale for DMD obtained by watching the boys on film. Groups were compared initially and after 6 and 12 months, using General Linear Models analysis (for two groups and three assessments). Results showed no significant timed performance differences between groups on 10-m walking at the initial assessment; but boys with DMD showed longer times after 6 and 12 months, and boys with DMD engaged in more compensatory movements while walking. For stair climbing, boys with DMD were significantly slower than healthy controls when both climbing and descending steps in all assessments.
