Sentence examples for self-directed movement from inspiring English sources

Although patients cannot permanently suppress the tic they might experience the tic as a conscious, intentional and self-directed movement executed to relieve a premonitory urge [ 52].

By contrast, when the term "swarm" is used figuratively, the elements of the "figurative swarm" are brought to a state of aggregation in accordance with spatial and geometric constraints imposed upon them from without, by their surroundings, and not as a result of volitional, self-directed movement.

Similar kinematic profiles were observed for movements directed towards the co-twin and self-directed movements aimed at the eye-region, i.e. the most delicate region of the body.

By investigating kinematic profiles of movements in five pairs of twin foetuses, we demonstrated that, by the 14th week of gestation, twin foetuses not only display movements directed towards the uterine wall and self-directed movements, but also movements specifically aimed at the co-twin.

We demonstrate that by the 14th week of gestation twin foetuses do not only display movements directed towards the uterine wall and self-directed movements, but also movements specifically aimed at the co-twin, the proportion of which increases between the 14th and 18th gestational week.

Interestingly, the kinematic profile of movements directed towards the co-twin displayed an even higher degree of accuracy: movement duration was longer and the percentage of time spent decelerating was greater for movements directed towards the co-twin than for self-directed movements aimed at the eye or the mouth.

Finally, the third analysis employed a comparison of self-directed movements towards the mouth and the eye region, and movements directed towards the sibling.

The ability to scale kinematics depending on the goal of the action was further confirmed by the comparison of kinematic profiles for self-directed movements towards the mouth and the eye region, and movements directed towards the sibling.

These movements, such as stroking the head or back, last longer and are more accurate than self-directed movements, such as touching their own eyes or mouths.

It was also longer for self-directed movements than for outer-directed movements (P<0.05).

Movement duration for movements performed towards the co-twin was longer than for self-directed movements towards the eye or the mouth (Ps<0.001).
