Influência da seletividade de atenção no desenvolvimento da percepção corporal de crianças com deficiência motora

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of using cognitive strategies for directing attention (learning cues) on the development of body awareness in children with motor deficiencies. METHOD: Twenty-two children of both sexes, aged 7 to 10 years, were selected based on their similar functional characteristics and were divided randomly into two groups: cue group (n= 11) and no cue group (n= 11). The cue group followed a methodological sequence in which attention was directed using learning cues, while the no cue group followed a different sequence, in which there was no directing of attention. These programs were followed for two weeks, with two sessions of 50 minutes each per week. Pre, post and retention tests were applied using the following instruments: body part identification test, kinetic perception test and critical body part perception test. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and the Tukey multiple comparisons test were used to analyze possible significant differences. RESULTS: The results indicated significant differences (p< 0.01), with superior performance by the cue group in the variables of kinetic perception and critical body part perception. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that selectivity of attention may contribute towards the development of body awareness in children with motor deficiency.Influence of selectivity of attention on the development of body awareness in children with motor deficiencies Objective: To investigate the influence of using cognitive strategies for directing attention (learning cues) on the development of body awareness in children with motor deficiencies.

O papel da atenção na fisioterapia neurofuncional

This study presents a theoretical review of attention in the creation of strategies of movement control from the perspective of the systemic paradigm applied to motor behavior and its relationship with the motor control approach in neurofunctional physical therapy. The following databases were consulted Medline, PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, and PEDro, including articles from 1990 to 2009. Research has shown the understanding of attention as a mediator agent between a subject and the environment in the process of self-organization of organic sub-systems during the realization of a motor task. Similarities between this theoretical perspective of attention and the assumptions that support the motor control in the neurofunctional physical therapy approach have been identified, evidencing paths of scientific investigation for a better comprehension about the attention role on neuromotor system adaptation of individuals with neurological lesions and its efficiency to promote human functional movement.Este estudo apresenta uma revisao teorica sobre o papel da atencao na realizacao de tarefas motoras, adotando-se a perspectiva do paradigma sistemico aplicado ao comportamento motor e sua relacao com a abordagem do controle motor na fisioterapia neurofuncional. Foram consultados os bancos de dados Medline, PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, e PEDro, incluindo artigos de 1990 a 2009. Nos estudos pesquisados, observou-se o entendimento da atencao como um agente mediador entre o individuo e o ambiente no processo de auto-organizacao dos subsistemas orgânicos durante a realizacao de uma tarefa motora. Foram identificadas similaridades entre esta perspectiva teorica sobre a atencao e os pressupostos que fundamentam a abordagem do controle motor na fisioterapia neurofuncional, evidenciando caminhos de investigacao cientifica no sentido de ser mais bem compreendido o papel da atencao na adaptacao do sistema neuromotor de pessoas com lesao neurologica e sua efetividade na promocao do movimento funcional humano.

Dicas de aprendizagem auxiliam as crianças com TDC na aquisição de uma habilidade motora complexa

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar se as dicas de aprendizagem auxiliam criancas com TDC na aquisicao de uma habilidade motora complexa. Dez criancas com TDC e 14 de desenvolvi- mento tipico, de 9 a 11 anos, foram divididas nos grupos TDC com dicas (TDCD), TDC sem dicas (TDCS), desenvolvimento tipico com dicas (GDTD) e desenvolvimento tipico sem dicas (GDTS). As criancas participaram de sete aulas, durante tres semanas, para a aprendizagem do rolamento peixe, com o uso das dicas “empurre o chao”, “coloque a mao o mais longe possivel” e “queixo no peito”. Os resultados nao foram estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos, o que evidencia que as dicas nao apresentaram efeito positivo na aprendizagem do rolamento peixe.

Troca velocidade-acurácia em tarefa de contornar figuras geométricas

O presente estudo analisou o paradigma da relacao inversa velocidade-acuracia, atraves da lei de Fitts, em tarefas de contornar figuras geometricas. Um software especialmente desenvolvido permitiu manipular a forma (quadrado, triângulo e diamante) e o tamanho da figura (perimetro e numero de voltas para contorna-la), e a espessura da linha, fornecendo indices de dificuldade (ID) entre 2,32 e 8,46 bits. Foi verificada a robustez da lei de Fitts na tarefa de contornar figuras geometricas. Ademais, foi sugerido que, em analises que contemplem o numero de repeticao da tarefa (por exemplo: com movimentos discretos e ciclicos), o indice de dificuldade pode ser calculado a partir do numero de tentativas, apresentando uma relacao TM x ID exponencial ao inves de linear.
