“…As the results of the presented study show, the neurofeedback training resulted in a selective increase in the energization component of the ERPs of the Olympic athlete under study. Therefore, it is a valuable technique to change the brain and life of individuals [21,22,23,24], and therefore it can help to overcome or more effectively manage a variety of conditions in sportsmen who have lost the performance confidence after injury in sport.…”

Neurofeedback training in the subject under study increased the amplitude of the monitoring component of ERPs generated in the anterior cingulate cortex, accompanied by an increase in beta activity over the medial prefrontal cortex. Taking these changes together, it can be concluded that that even a few sessions of neurofeedback in a high performance brain can significantly activate the prefrontal cortical areas associated with increasing confidence in sport performance.

“…Body balance, as has been shown by many academics worldwide, is a genetically conditioned ability [ 2 , 6 ], which may be developed particularly during the early stages of biological development [ 4 , 7 ]. During the later stage the development of this ability is inherently hampered by the fact that the brain already is in possession of a completely formed and appropriately ‘cut’ neurological set of connections [ 20 – 22 ]. Equally, the motor abilities are already formed [ 8 ].…”

BackgroundThe aim of the research was an evaluation of 2 training programs covering the same standard physical activity in the initial stage (warm-up) and the main (motor exercises) as well as a separate end part in Program A of stretching and in Programme B of vibration training designed to improve the level of body balance.Material/MethodsWe tested 40 randomly chosen students of the Academy of Physical Education and Sport in Gdansk, subsequently divided into two 20-person groups: C (average age 21.3±1.2), and E (average age 21.8±1.1). The training of body balance was conducted for 8 weeks: we used in Group C Program A and in group E Program B. The evaluation of body balance was done 3 times: at the beginning, at midway point, and at the end of the experiment. The stabilographic tests with posture-graphical method and the task of 1-leg balance standing with eyes closed was used.ResultsIt was found that in the first examination both groups did not significantly differ in terms of the tested parameters of balance. During the training process we obtained increased time of maintaining balance on 1 leg. This difference was significant between tests 1 and 2 both for Group C (p=0.0002) and for E (p=0.0034), while between the tests 2 and 3 in Group E (p=0.0213) only.ConclusionsThe training Program B is more effective to maintain balance on 1 leg when compared to Program A.

“…Within each of these categories, three to five activities are assessed according to the patients estimated percentage contribution to their performance. The level of assistance the patient requires is specified in points according to a scale adapted from the ASIA Scale, which gives internationally accepted standards for the neurological and functional classification of spinal injuries [33]:…”

The effectiveness of selected Tai Chi exercises in a program of strategic rehabilitation aimed at improving the self-care skills of patients aroused from prolonged coma after severe TBI

BackgroundDifficulties in self-care constitute a very common problem for patients recovering from prolonged coma after a severe TBI, and a major factor reducing their quality of life. Effective new rehabilitation programs that would help solve this problem are urgently needed. The purpose of our experiment was to evaluate improvement in this respect in a group of patients aroused from prolonged coma who participated in a goal-oriented rehabilitation program (Rehab-3), enhanced with selected elements of Tai-Chi.Material/MethodsWe examined 40 patients aroused from prolonged coma after a severe TBI, undergoing long-term rehabilitation according to a standard phased rehabilitation program. These patients were divided into two numerically even groups: a control group treated according to the standard program, and an experimental group, who received an additional goal oriented program enhanced with selected Tai-Chi exercises. The research methods included analysis of documentation (MRI, CT), a structured clinical interview, and the Standard Self-Care Scale.ResultsThe experimental group achieved significant improvement of self-care skills, whereas in the control group the improvement was slight and not statistically significant. The value of co-efficient j (0.64) indicates a very strong association between the rehabilitation procedure and improved self-care in the experimental group, but not in the control group.ConclusionsOur results confirmed that a goal-oriented rehabilitation program enhanced with elements of Tai-Chi was more effective than the standard program in improving the performance of activities of daily living.
