Relationship between motor coordination and executive function in adults and older adults

Brazilian older adults present a relatively low schooling level when compared with other populations. In clinical practice, defining if more subtle alterations observed in executive function (EF) and motor coordination tests in older adults are due to an initial neurological condition or low schooling level is difficult. This study aimed to evaluate the possible differences in motor coordination and EF between adults and older adults with high and low schooling level as well as the possible correlations between motor coordination and EF in this sample. A total of 75 healthy individuals (aged from 30 to 89 years) were evaluated. EF was assessed by the trail making test (TMT) whereas motor coordination was assessed by the upper limb diadochokinetic test, which is the rapid alternation between supination and pronation of the forearms (right, left, both performing in-phase movements, and both performing anti-phase movements). Analysis of variance showed that age and schooling level possibly influenced EF and motor coordination. Possible relationships between EF and diadochokinesis were calculated by Pearson’s correlation. Older adults with low schooling level were significantly slower on the TMT part B (cognitive and motor) and delta TMT (cognitive). All groups were slower performing the anti-phase movement, especially those with low schooling level. Results showed only weak correlations between EF and motor coordination. Age and schooling level influenced executive function and motor coordination. However, the EF and motor coordination tests presented no correlation when these two factors were statistically corrected.

“…Assim como em Voos, Custódio e Malaquias 20 e Voos et al 21 , verificamos que indivíduos mais velhos e com menor escolaridade levaram mais tempo para realizar a parte B do TMT. Aparentemente, porém, os indivíduos apresentaram bom desempenho na parte motora (parte A).…”

RESUMO A população idosa brasileira possui escolaridade relativamente baixa, quando comparada a outras populações. Na prática clínica, torna-se difícil decidir se alterações mais sutis, observadas nos testes de função executiva (FE) e coordenação motora de idosos, devem-se a um quadro neurológico inicial ou à baixa escolaridade. O objetivo do trabalho foi investigar: (1) possíveis diferenças na coordenação motora e FE de adultos e idosos com escolaridade alta e baixa; e (2) possíveis correlações entre coordenação motora e FE nessa amostra. Foram avaliados 75 indivíduos saudáveis, com idade entre 30 e 89 anos. A FE foi avaliada por meio do trail making test (TMT) e a coordenação motora foi avaliada com o teste de diadococinesia dos membros superiores, que consiste na alternância rápida entre supinação e pronação do antebraço (direito, esquerdo, de ambos os antebraços em fase, e ambos em antifase). A análise de variância investigou possíveis influências da idade e da escolaridade na FE e coordenação motora. O teste de correlação de Pearson investigou possíveis relações entre FE e diadococinesia. Idosos com escolaridade baixa foram significativamente mais lentos na parte B (cognitivo-motora) e no delta (cognitiva) do TMT. Todos os grupos foram mais lentos na condição antifase, sobretudo os idosos com escolaridade baixa. Encontramos apenas correlações fracas entre FE e coordenação motora. A idade e a escolaridade influenciaram na FE e na coordenação motora; porém, os testes de FE e coordenação motora não apresentaram correlação quando esses dois fatores foram corrigidos estatisticamente.

“…Because cognitive-motor learning is influenced positively by educational status, 40 the hypothesis of this study was that people with higher educational status would respond better to the treatment based on the MSI model. Cognitive-motor learning seems more important to perform exercises and activities associated to the treatment based on MSI model compared to the performance of the exercises associated with treatment based on stretching and strengthening exercises.…”

Study design: Secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial. Background: Treatment based on the Movement System Impairment-Based classification for chronic low back pain results in the same benefit when compared to other forms of exercise. It is possible that participant's characteristics measured at baseline can identify people with chronic low back pain who would respond best to a treatment based on the Movement System Impairment model. Objectives: To assess if specific characteristics of people with chronic low back pain measured at baseline can modify the effects of a treatment based on the Movement System Impairment model on pain and disability. Methods: Four variables assessed at baseline that could potentially modify the treatment effects of the treatment based on the Movement System Impairment model were selected (age, educational status, physical activity status and STarT back tool classification). Separate univariate models were used to investigate a possible modifier treatment effect of baseline participant's characteristics on pain and disability after the treatment. Findings of interaction values above 1 point for the outcome mean pain intensity or above 3 points for disability (Roland Morris questionnaire) were considered clinically relevant. Results: Linear regression analyses for the outcomes of pain and disability did not show interaction values considered clinically relevant for age, educational status, physical activity status and STarT back tool classification.
