“…One important QoM component is the muscle tone, the continuous and partial contraction of the muscles, a physiological factor that the human being uses and orient to complete motor related activities [17], including academic ones such as writing and mathematics. Furthermore, poor muscle tone or bad articulations of muscles can yield bad postures, which contributes to problems with balance and functional mobility [21].…”

Exergames to study psychomotor factors of children with ADHD: Preliminary findings

et al. 2020

Exergaming is considered an effective way to promote physical exercising for young children. Previous work has argued in favor of using exergaming to help with health problems such as obesity, or to contribute with brain maturation, which may affect motor and cognitive abilities. In this work, we describe the preliminary results of a study focused on observing the psychomotor factors exposed by a child with ADHD attending a public primary school. The case of study is an eleven-year-old girl who attends a public primary school but who receives academic support from special education therapists. An off-the-shelf exergame was selected based on its instructional and physical activation features, which the child played with for six weeks. The exergame meets its aim to stimulate psychomotor factors. Attention, speed of reaction, body posture, temporospatial and dissociation skills are categories used for video analysis. Preliminary results seem to indicate that the child’s interaction with the game has produced positive outcomes for reading comprehension, writing, memory, and visuomotor skills. CUMANES and MABC-2 are the batteries used for PRE and POST tests.

“…Finally, the combined use of exergames and conventional exercise might be an effective and preferable strategy for older people (Sadeghi et al, 2017). Tailored interventions to ensure the optimal design of active video games, with exergames that are customized to preserve physical function or specifically developed for persons with mobility limitations or disabilities, are issues of great importance that need to be addressed in future research (Wiemeyer et al, 2015).…”

Aim To analyse the effects of active video games on physical function in independent community‐dwelling older adults. Design Systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials. Data sources The CINAHL, LILACS, Medline, Proquest and Scopus databases were consulted, with no restriction by year of publication. Review methods Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. The meta‐analysis was performed using RevMan software. Results The analysis included 22 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1208 participants (all ≥55 years old). In our meta‐analyses, the effects produced by playing the active video games (mean differences) were statistically significant for the variables Gait speed and Timed up‐and‐go. The differences between the control and experimental groups were not significant in the following tests: 6‐minute walk, 30‐second chair stand, balance (measured with the Berg Balance Scale), cadence, grip strength, knee extension strength, 8‐Foot Up‐and‐Go or velocity. Conclusions Physical exercise from participation in active video games has beneficial effects on two clinical parameters (Gait speed and Timed up‐and‐go) in independent community‐dwelling older adults. However, the effects on other parameters do not differ from those obtained with conventional exercise training. Therefore, the clinical significance of these benefits is limited. Impact Older adults usually perform little physical activity. In consequence, researchers have increasingly considered alternatives to traditional forms of exercise. One such is that provided by active video games, which can be a source of stimulation, encouraging adherence and motivation in exercise programmes. Our review shows that active video games can improve gait speed and mobility, but in other respects obtain no differences from conventional exercises. Further tailored randomized clinical trials should be undertaken with diverse populations of older adults to evaluate different physical function variables to determine the most appropriate training approach and its optimal design and duration.

“…The rate of injuries such as in daily domestic or workplace repetitive activities, exercise regime, sports, school activities, jogging and gym exercises may arise because of imbalance body alignment and musculoskeletal disorder [11,12] are in the rise. The risk of fall injuries increases because of gait changes that bring about instability, bad posture and loss of balance among elderly people [13]. Falls are often caused by changes in the muscles imbalance and hence screening the joint and muscles can provide a personal profile to avoid any injuries and musculoskeletal problem [14].…”

Background: Body's locomotor system, at any given age, need to be pain-free, agile, stable and energetic, symmetrical in joint functional system and muscle power. Joint Functional Screening (JFS) is a musculo-skeletal profiling program via a systematic clinical examination with clinical reasoning of the entire human joints' functional system, with or without causative limitation to derive a holistic analysis to give a health provider, the strength, flexibility, and stability indicators of the musculoskeletal system. Objective: The purpose of this study was to introduce a feasible and an affordable clinical examination package as Joint Functional Screening. Method: This package including clinical tools to analysis and screen all body joints which can determine muscular imbalances and body abnormalities. Conclusion: JFS is an innovation program to profile a normal musculoskeletal state to decode any underlying anomalies of the body, in an otherwise normal subject, who might be preparing to take up any sporty or gym activities in one's lifespan that could elicit or uproot an injury which could be otherwise prevented.
