Affordance-based control of braking in cycling: Experience reveals differences in the style of control
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 May 4;95:103225. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103225. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigated whether in an in-situ collision avoidance experiment cyclists regulate braking by adopting an affordance-based control strategy. Within an affordance-based control strategy for braking, deceleration is controlled relative to the maximum achievable deceleration rather than by nulling out deviations from ideal deceleration, and potentially allowing for different braking styles. Twenty active- and eighteen inactive-cyclists were asked to cycle on a straight path in an indoor gym and to stop as close as possible i...

Visual behavior of racing bike cyclists in multi-tasking situations
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 May 4;95:103224. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103224. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDistracted biking can have serious repercussions for the rider such as accidents. The purpose of the present experiment was to determine the effect of visually monitoring two parameters, the cadence, and the heart rate on a bike computer fixed on a racing bike, and simultaneously detect hazardous traffic situations. Individuals (n = 20) were instructed to ride a racing bike that was fitted onto a roller trainer. After conducting a bicycle step test to assess the maximal heart rate (HFmax), participants were assigned to a with...

Online corrections can occur within movement imagery: An investigation of the motor-cognitive model
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 May 1;95:103222. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103222. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe motor-cognitive model proposes that movement imagery additionally requires conscious monitoring owing to an absence of veridical online sensory feedback. Therefore, it is predicted that there would be a comparatively limited ability for individuals to update or correct movement imagery as they could within execution. To investigate, participants executed and imagined target-directed aiming movements featuring either an unexpected target perturbation (Exp. 1) or removal of visual sensory feedback (Exp. 2). The results of b...

Visual feedbacks influence short-term learning of torque versus motion profile with robotic guidance among young adults
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 May 1;95:103221. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103221. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRobotic assistance can improve the learning of complex motor skills. However, the assistance designed and used up to now mainly guides motor commands for trajectory learning, not dynamics learning. The present study explored how a complex motor skill involving the right arm can be learned without suppressing task dynamics, by means of an innovative device with robotic guidance that allows a torque versus motion profile to be learned with admittance control. In addition, we assessed how concurrent visual feedback on this profi...

Reduced trunk movement control during motor dual-tasking in older adults
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 Apr 30;95:103223. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103223. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOlder adults have a decreased trunk movement control which is linked to their higher fall risk. While motor/cognitive dual-tasking deteriorates balance and walking in older adults, there is limited understanding on how trunk kinematics and kinetics are affected by dual-tasking in scenarios where falls can occur. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine the impacts of a challenging motor dual-task, specifically obstacle avoidance during walking, on trunk and lower-body kinematics and kinetics of older adults compa...

Exploring harmonic walking development in children with unilateral cerebral palsy and typically developing toddlers: Insights from walking experience
Hum Mov Sci. 2024 Apr 20;95:103218. doi: 10.1016/j.humov.2024.103218. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis longitudinal study investigated the impact of the first independent steps on harmonic gait development in unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) and typically developing (TD) children. We analysed the gait ratio values (GR) by comparing the duration of stride/stance, stance/swing and swing/double support phases. Our investigation focused on identifying a potential trend towards the golden ratio value of 1.618, which has been observed in the locomotion of healthy adults as a characteristic of harmonic walking. Locomotor ability ...
