Clinical Pilates in Practice: Visuomotor Adaptation & Passive Movement
This study examined the lasting effect of passive training on visuomotor adaptation within a 24-hour timeline.
Hernia Repair Outcomes
This article is a comprehensive retrospective review of ventral hernia repair outcomes performed at one facility in the USA.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Age & Motor Adaptation
The authors of this study examined the differences in the brain structure and cognition underlying motor adaptation in a population-based cohort.
Sleep & Motor Memory Consolidation
This meta-analysis compared the effect of sleep gain on motor memory consolidation between sleep and wake groups. The mechanisms by which sleep helps to consolidate motor memory are not fully understood, and further research is still needed in this field.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Choice & Skill Learning
This small study observed the motor learning effects of allowing small choices by individuals.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Analogies Speed Up Motor Learning
For motor learning tasks, analogies are usually given as a single biomechanical metaphor. This study demonstrates how analogies can influence motor kinematics and task outcome.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Learning Styles Neuromyth
The concept of learning styles has long been debunked, and yet they persist in all educational communities. This paper outlines why it is difficult to use theories of learning styles in practice: "the same term means different things to different teachers."
Research Review: Bone Pain in Cancer
This paper discusses the mechanisms involved in bone pain during cancer and reviews the recommended treatment methods.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Describing Movement & Motor Learning
This small study contributes to the body of literature linking motor imagery and motor learning.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Closed Kinetic Chains & Motor Control
This commentary encourages the study of mobility both as a potential explanation for different motor control strategies and as a useful concept for comparing otherwise seemingly disparate musculoskeletal systems.
Clinical Pilates in Practice: Instruction Modes for Motor Skills
Previous research has demonstrated that mirror neurons play an important role in learning; action observation training or motor imagery practice is based on this mechanism.
