Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives01:14

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.5K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Self-Concept

1.6K
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

1.6K
The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress. According to this theory, the unconscious mind contains thoughts, memories, and emotions that are too disturbing to face directly.
Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...

Concepts and Prototypes

The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Basic Concept

6.2K
Engineering mechanics is a branch of engineering that studies motion and the forces acting on objects. It is a fundamental subject and forms the basis of many other engineering disciplines. Length, time, mass, and force are some basic concepts in engineering mechanics.
Length, which measures the distance traveled by an object, is a fundamental concept in engineering mechanics. We use coordinates relative to a reference point to describe the distance. Length not only helps to describe the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Movement Science
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Human movement analysis faces challenges in clinical and research settings.
  • Discrepancies exist in conceptualizing movement, particularly postural control, between neuroscientific and clinical fields.
  • Understanding movement efficiency, metabolic cost, and muscle synergies is crucial for research and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare and contrast the conceptualization and operationalization of human movement between Bobath clinicians and the neuroscientific community.
  • To identify commonalities and differences in defining movement concepts.
  • To foster a unified understanding and encourage dialogue to address the research-practice gap in human movement science.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of conceptual frameworks in human movement.
  • Review of literature on neuroscientific and clinical perspectives of postural control, movement efficiency, and muscle synergies.
  • Discussion of sensory information's role in motor performance and its implications for different perspectives.

Main Results:

  • Identified commonalities and differences in defining movement concepts between clinical and neuroscientific approaches.
  • Highlighted the role of sensory feedback in motor control and its varied interpretation.
  • Showcased limitations of linear measures and the potential of muscle synergy analysis for understanding movement variability.

Conclusions:

  • A potential disconnect exists between clinical and neuroscientific perspectives on human movement, particularly concerning sensory information, base of support, and alignment.
  • Facilitating a common understanding requires open dialogue between Bobath clinicians and neuroscientists.
  • Addressing the research-practice gap can enhance the investigation and application of human movement principles.
