Improvements in Postural Stability, Dynamic Balance, and Strength Following 12 Weeks of Online Ballet-Modern Dance Classes for Older Women

Author(s): Chen EH; Bergdahl A; Roberts M;

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults and affect women at disproportionate rates. Dance has been used to improve postural stability, balance confidence and strength of older adults, but in-person classes are often inaccessible. This quasi-experimental pre-mid-post design study investigates whether 12 weeks of online dance ...

Exploring the challenges of avoiding collisions with virtual pedestrians using a dual-task paradigm in individuals with chronic moderate to severe traumatic brain injury

Author(s): de Aquino Costa Sousa T; Gagnon IJ; Li KZH; McFadyen BJ; Lamontagne A;

Background: Individuals with a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (m/sTBI), despite experiencing good locomotor recovery six months post-injury, face challenges in adapting their locomotion to the environment. They also present with altered cognitive functions, which may impact dual-task walking abilities. Whether they present collision avoidance s ...

Establishing a framework for best practices for quality assurance and quality control in untargeted metabolomics

Author(s): Mosley JD; Schock TB; Beecher CW; Dunn WB; Kuligowski J; Lewis MR; Theodoridis G; Ulmer Holland CZ; Vuckovic D; Wilson ID; Zanetti KA;

Background: Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) practices are key tenets that facilitate study and data quality across all applications of untargeted metabolomics. These important practices will strengthen this field and accelerate its success. The Best Practices Working Group (WG) wi ...

Spaced Apart: Autoethnographies of Access Throughout the COVID 19 Pandemic

Author(s): Dokumaci A; Bessette-Viens R; Goberdhan N; Lucas S; Mazowita A; Stainton J;

In this article, we present six autoethnographies of lives marked by crisis that reflect on the issues of access, very broadly defined, that the COVID 19 pandemic has raised or redefined for each of us. As the time of crisis has made access concerns more and more evident it also exposes how access is not an issue just for disabled people, but for all live ...

Does Conceptual Transparency in Manipulatives Afford Place-Value Understanding in Children at Risk for Mathematics Learning Disabilities?

Author(s): Lafay A; Osana HP; Levin JR;

We investigated the effect of conceptual transparency in the physical structure of manipulatives on place-value understanding in typically developing children and those at risk for mathematics learning disabilities. Second graders were randomly assigned to one of three manipulatives conditions: (a) attachable beads that did not make the denominations or o ...

Context-induced renewal of passive but not active coping behaviours in the shock-probe defensive burying task

Author(s): Alexa Brown

Renewal is the return of extinguished responding after removal from the extinction context. Renewal has been extensively studied using classical aversive conditioning procedures that measure a passive freezing response to an aversive conditioned stimulus. However, coping responses to aversive stimuli are complex and can be reflected in passive and active ...

Integrative Dance for Adults with Down Syndrome: Effects on Postural Stability.

Author(s): Dipasquale S, Canter B, Roberts M

Postural stability, one's ability to maintain an upright stable position, is a crucial aspect of functional mobility and independent living. The purpose of this study was to examine if integrative dance classes have the potential to improve the postural stability in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Utilizing a one group design, seven participants ...

Adaptive behaviour under conflict: deconstructing extinction, reversal, and active avoidance learning.

Author(s): Manning EE, Bradfield LA, Iordanova MD

In complex environments, organisms must respond adaptively to situations despite conflicting information. Under natural (i.e. non-laboratory) circumstances, it is rare that cues or responses are consistently paired with a single outcome. Inconsistent pairings are more common, as are situations where cues and responses are associated with multiple outcomes ...

The Effectiveness of Dance Therapy as an Adjunct to Rehabilitation of Adults With a Physical Disability.

Author(s): Swaine B, Poncet F, Lachance B, Proulx-Goulet C, Bergeron V, Brousse É, Lamoureux J, McKinley P

Background/Objective: To determine the added benefit on participants' mobility and participation of a 12-week dance therapy (DT) intervention combined with usual physical rehabilitation for adults with varied physical disabilities. Their appreciation of DT was also explored. Methods: We condu ...
