Muscle synergies have been described as a neural strategy to simplify the control of the redundant motor actuators leading human movement and have been used to investigate motor coordination in healthy subjects and patients with neurological disorders.
In addition, such measures need to be coupled with other policies and practices to address some of the other drivers of health spending, including initiatives to support healthy aging and improve coordination of care for the chronically ill.
Chan et al. [24] and Rao et al. [54] further showed that the involvement of the supplementary motor area might be the genesis of the Fist-Edge-Palm sign (one of the motor coordination signs) in healthy volunteers and there was a reduction of brain activation in the network between right inferior and right middle prefrontal areas when healthy volunteers were instructed to perform such a task.
Patients with AD have also been found to demonstrate significantly higher prevalence of sensory integration and motor coordination signs than healthy controls [ 9].
Post-tDCS improvements have also been shown in young healthy controls in terms of visuomotor coordination [ 25] and working memory performance [ 26].
Black babies mature faster on average than their white counterparts, even when they are poorer and eat a less healthy diet; they show better hand-eye coordination and walk earlier by about a month.
BBB rating scale ranges from a minimum of 0 (no observable hindlimbs movements) to a maximum of 21 (plantar stepping, coordination and trunk stability like healthy rats).
Although this coordination has been documented in healthy individuals, the effect of PD on the ability to learn to anticipate appropriate digit position during grasp has yet to be examined.
These teams aimed to facilitate healthy lifestyle promotion practices through increased collaboration and coordination of care.
A healthy, happier staff is one that can shift flexibly between implicit coordination (during routine condition) and explicit coordination (during critical intervention) to ensure the highest level of patient safety [ 55].
The results provide direct evidence in healthy human subjects of specific cerebellar engagement during the coordination of movement, over and above the control of constituent movements.
