Considerable literature on the role of attentional focus in motor performance and learning
has accumulated for over two decades. We report the results of comprehensive meta …

Upper limb function, essential for daily life, is often impaired in individuals after stroke and
cerebral palsy (CP). For an improved upper limb function, learning should occur, and …

Background Upper limb kinematic assessments provide quantifiable information on
qualitative movement behavior and limitations after stroke. A comprehensive …

Objective To examine the relationships between muscle mass, intramuscular adipose and
fibrous tissues of the quadriceps, and gait independence in chronic stroke survivors. Design …

Evidence is emerging for central nervous system (CNS) changes in the presence of
musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain. Motor control exercises, and potentially manual …

Dual-task performance is often impaired after stroke. This may be resolved by enhancing
patients' automaticity of movement. This study sets out to test the constrained action …

Objective: This study aimed to assess if external focus instructions result in greater
improvements in motor skill and automaticity compared to internal focus instructions in …

Exercise is one of the main rehabilitative interventions, commonly used to improve
performance and motor learning. During the application of attentional focus strategies …

Little is known about the effect of using an attentional focus instruction on motor performance
in people with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, this study explored the effects of different …

It is believed that motor performance improves when individuals direct attention to
movement outcome (external focus, EF) rather than to body movement itself (internal focus …
