Title: The meaning of local stability for the co-ordinated movement human palm
Biography:
Abstract:
Introduction The motoral co-ordination is ability to executing folded movements: exactly, quickly and in changing conditions. The stability of the part of the human body is the essential element for the possibility of the realization of the movement. It is the special fix point for that part of the human body during the executed movement in space.
The aim of the work is the analysis of dependence between the chosen parameters of the motoral co-ordination wrist and human palm and the local stability or its lack.
The material and methods: 81 persons study (healthy, the stroke of the brain). Age of studied: 20-80 years old, the women and men. To the investigation of the parameters of the co-ordination movement (the range of movement, speed/ frequency of the movement, the strength of the flex of the palm) were used Hand Tutor device and hand dynamometer. The patients were examined in two exit positions: sitting without the support and lying with the stability of the trunk and the tested upper limb.
Results: The introduction of local stability influenced on the change of the parameters of the motoral co-ordination of the palm fingers and wrist.
The conclusions: Local stability influences on the improvement of the co-ordination movements in the radio - carpal joint and the human palm. Local stability applied during exercises with the patient selectively improves the co-ordination movement the practiced parts of the body.
Key words: stability, motoral co-ordination, the range of the movement, speed/frequency, grip hand.
