Development of a new haptic perception instrument: a pilot study
Nascimento,Leonardo Penteado; Martini,Joyce; Voos,Mariana Callil; Chien,Hsin Fen; Caromano,Fátima AparecidaABSTRACT Objective Hand sensory tests do not consider distinct physiological receptors, nor detect normal range variations concerning developmental or pathological changes. We developed an instrument with a set of tests with timing and scoring for assessing haptic perception, which is the interaction between sensory and motor systems, in surfaces exploration, by moving hands. Method Firstly, group meetings were...
Compensatory movements during functional activities in ambulatory children with...
Martini,Joyce; Voos,Mariana Callil; Hukuda,Michele Emy; Resende,Maria Bernadete Dutra de; Caromano,Fátima AparecidaObjective: During the transitional phase (ambulatory to non-ambulatory), synergies characterize the evolution of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This study was performed to describe and quantify compensatory movements while sitting down on/rising from the floor and climbing up/down steps. Method: Eighty videos (5 children × 4 assessments × 4 tasks) were recorded quarterly in the year prior to gait loss. Comp...
