Summary

Enhanced expectancies (EE) in virtual reality training improved balance and reduced dual-task costs more than autonomy support. This suggests EE strategies enhance injury-resistant movement adaptations.

Area of Science:

  • Motor learning and control
  • Virtual reality in rehabilitation
  • Biomechanics and injury prevention

Background:

  • Optimizing Performance through Intrinsic Motivation and Attention for Learning (OPTIMAL) theory guides motor learning interventions.
  • Autonomy support and enhanced expectancies (EE) show promise in reducing cognitive-motor dual-task costs.
  • Reducing dual-task costs is crucial for adaptive, injury-resistant movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of autonomy support versus EE-enhanced virtual reality (VR) interventions.
  • To reduce dual-task costs during single-leg balance tasks.
  • To investigate injury-resistant movement adaptations.

Main Methods:

  • A within-subjects 3x3 trial design was employed.
  • Twenty-one male and 24 female participants (18-30 years) underwent VR single-leg squat training.
  • Interventions included autonomy support (avatar color choice) and EE (positive kinematic biofeedback); outcomes measured via center of pressure metrics during single-leg balance under single- and dual-task conditions.

Main Results:

  • The EE group demonstrated significant reductions in dual-task costs for anterior-posterior center of pressure mean and SD on the right side compared to the control group.
  • Effect sizes (Cohen's d) for EE were substantial (0.80 for mean, 0.88 for SD).
  • These improvements were observed from baseline to immediate retention.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced expectancies (EE) strategies may be more effective than autonomy support (AS) in promoting injury-resistant movement adaptations.
  • EE strategies are easily implementable in clinical and sport settings.
  • VR-based motor learning interventions can effectively reduce dual-task costs and enhance movement quality.
