Authors: Zarro Michael , Silverson Oliver , Soenksen Wade , Thein-Nissenbaum Jill , Cataldo Cirone Elise , Rowland Robert , Staker Justin
Published: October 2022

Background

Over the past decade, there has been an increased focus on collaboration within collegiate athletics based sports medicine. Specifically, athletic trainers (ATs) and physical therapists (PTs) are working together, often side-by-side, to provide optimal care for the injured athlete. However, the roles and responsibilities of the PT within this model are currently not well described.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify educational training, credentials, roles, and responsibilities of the PT working with collegiate athletes.

Study Design

Cross-sectional survey

Methods

An anonymous, descriptive online survey focusing on the demographic and occupational characteristics of PTs providing care for collegiate athletes was created and distributed electronically through the American Academy of Sports Physical Therapy (AASPT), a subgroup within the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Results

One hundred forty eligible responses were included. Sixty-four percent (90/140) of the respondents were male; 86% of the respondents (120/140) reported working in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I setting. Half (70/140) of respondents were also ATs, and 60% (83/140) were board-certified sports clinical specialists (SCS). All respondents (140/140) provide rehabilitation exercises; nearly all provide sports performance enhancement and manual therapy (97%, 136/140 and 96%, 135/140, respectively). Other identified roles and responsibilities included communication with the athletic training staff, event coverage, and personnel management.

Conclusions

The role of the PT within collegiate athletics sports medicine is highly varied; years of experience, certification, credentials, and location of patient care are also variable.

Clinical Relevance

PTs working in a collegiate athletics sports medicine setting have many paths to entry and diverse job duties. PTs interested in working in this setting should prioritize developing relevant experience and communication skills.

Rehabilitation Guidelines for Use Following a Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO): A North American Based Delphi Consensus
Authors: Disantis Ashley E. , Ruh Ethan , Martin RobRoy , Enseki Keelan , McClincy Michael
Published: October 2022

Background

Treatment of acetabular dysplasia with a periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) has been shown to improve long term outcomes and is considered the gold standard in the setting of symptomatic hip dysplasia in patients younger than 35 years of age. Post-operative rehabilitation following a PAO plays an important role in helping patients return to their prior level of function and reduce the impact of strength deficits that may persist. Currently, there is a paucity of research supporting post-operative rehabilitation guidelines. The purpose of this study is to present expert-driven rehabilitation guidelines to reduce practice variation following a PAO.

Methods

A panel of 16 physiotherapists from across the United States and Canada who were identified as experts in PAO rehabilitation by high-volume hip preservation surgeons participated in this Delphi study. Panelists were presented with 11 questions pertaining to rehabilitation guidelines following a PAO. Three iterative survey rounds were presented to the panelists based on responses to these questions. This three-step Delphi method was utilized to establish consensus on post-operative rehabilitation guidelines following a PAO.

Results

Total (100%) participation was achieved for all three survey rounds. Consensus (>75%) was reached for 11/11 questions pertaining to the following areas: 1) weight-bearing and range of motion (ROM) precautions, 2) therapeutic exercise prescription including neuromuscular control, cardiovascular exercise, and flexibility, and 3) objective measures for return to straight line running and return to full participation in sports.

Conclusion

This Delphi study established expert-driven rehabilitation guidelines for use following a PAO. The standardization of rehabilitative care following PAO is essential for achieving optimal outcomes despite other factors such as geographical location and socioeconomic status. Further research on patient-reported outcomes is necessary to confirm successful rehabilitation following the guidelines outlined in this study.
Physical impairments in Adults with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) undergoing Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: O'Brien Michael J M , Jacobsen Julie S , Semciw Adam I , Mechlenburg Inger , Tønning Lisa U , Stewart Chris J W , Heerey Joshua , Kemp Joanne L
Published: October 2022

Background

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition associated with hip pain and impairments. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a common surgical treatment for DDH. Outcomes following PAO have historically been based on radiology or patient reported outcomes, and not physical impairments.

Objective

To investigate differences in physical impairments in adults with DDH undergoing PAO compared with asymptomatic participants, and to investigate pre- to post-PAO changes in physical impairments.

Design

Systematic review with meta-analysis

Methods

A literature search was performed in five databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Sports Discuss, and PsychINFO), using the PRISMA checklist. Studies were considered eligible if patients were aged 15 years and older, treated with PAO for DDH and if they included a physical impairment outcome measure. Two independent reviewers performed data extraction and assessed methodological quality, using a modified version of the Downs and Black checklist.

Results

Of 5,017 studies, 24 studies were included with 2190 patients. The methodological quality scores ranged from 39% to 88%. With low level of evidence, meta-analysis showed 58% of patients had a positive anterior impingement test (95%CI: 39-76%), prior to PAO and one to three years after PAO. Five years after PAO, the proportion fell to 17% (95%CI: 11-24%). Prior to PAO, patients with DDH walked with a lower peak hip extension angle, compared to asymptomatic participants (SMD 0.65 (95%CI 0.21-1.10). Best evidence synthesis of non-pooled data showed limited evidence of increased walking velocity, stride length and improved hip flexion and extension moment 18-months post-PAO compared to pre-op. Cadence, hip abduction and hip flexion strength did not change.

Conclusion

Most patients with DDH have a positive hip impingement test, pre-PAO. Compared to asymptomatic participants, patients with DDH demonstrate physical impairments during walking which appear to improve after surgery. Hip abduction and flexion strength did not change pre- to post-PAO.

Ultrasound Measurement of Lateral Patellar Displacement: A Cadaveric Validation Study
Authors: Kwan Lok Yin Ada , Killingback Alban , Adds Philip J
Published: October 2022

Background

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints seen in outpatient settings. It has been suggested that hip adduction creates loads on the iliotibial band and causes lateral displacement of the patella (patellar tilt), which can lead to uneven patellofemoral joint loading, and hence, cause patellofemoral pain. In previous studies in the literature, ultrasound has been used to measure lateral patellar displacement. However, the method lacks validity data.

Purpose/Hypothesis

The aim of this study was to validate the use of ultrasound to measure lateral displacement of the patella, by comparing the position of the patella as measured first by ultrasound, and then by direct measurement.

Study Design

Descriptive Laboratory Study.

Methods

Nine soft-fixed cadavers were used in this study. The cadavers had been donated for anatomical examination and research under the Human Tissue Act (2004). The distance between the lateral femoral condyle and the lateral edge of the patella were measured by B-mode real-time ultrasound, and then by direct measurement, in two positions, neutral and at 20° hip adduction.

Results

The mean difference in the patella-to-lateral femoral condyle distance in the neutral position and at 20° adduction was 0.27 cm (ultrasound), and 0.34 cm (direct measurement), respectively. There were no significant differences between the measurements obtained by US and by direct measurement (Pearson correlation= 0.97, p=0.83).

Conclusion

Ultrasound is a valid and reliable method for measuring patellar position relative to the femoral condyle, and the validity data reported here suggest that it can be used with confidence in clinic to assess lateral patellar displacement.

Hamstring Injury Rehabilitation and Prevention in the Female Athlete
Authors: O'Sullivan Lucy , Preszler Jamie , Tanaka Miho
Published: October 2022

Hamstring injuries (HSIs) are common in female athletes and are associated with a lengthy recovery period and a high rate of reinjury. Currently, the majority of existing literature investigating HSI rehabilitation has been conducted using male participants. However, female athletes display intrinsic anatomical and biomechanical differences compared to males that influences the way this population experiences HSIs and HSI rehabilitation. HSI rehabilitation and injury prevention guidelines for female athletes must take these differences into account. Female athletes display anatomical differences such as increased anterior pelvic tilting, gluteus maximus weakness, an increased pelvic width-to-femoral length ratio, and an increased degree of femoral anteversion, all of which can predispose females to HSIs. Maneuvers designed to strengthen the gluteal musculature and transverse abdominis can overcome these risk factors. Females show increased joint laxity and a greater range of motion of hip flexion and internal rotation compared to males. Females have lower passive hamstring stiffness than males, therefore hamstring flexibility exercises may not be as necessary during rehabilitation for females as in the male athlete population. Female athletes may instead benefit from trunk stabilization exercises and agility training due to neuromuscular control deficits that arise from the maturation and growth of the female pelvis. Existing literature on hamstring injury prevention shows consistent use of the Nordic Hamstring Exercise and balance exercises may reduce the risk of sustaining an HSI in both males and females, though more studies are needed to ascertain the optimal regimen for injury prevention in the female athlete population specifically. The goal of this clinical commentary is to discuss sex-specific anatomic and biomechanical differences of the lumbar, pelvic, and hip regions with the aim of providing guidelines for rehabilitation and injury prevention of HSIs in female athletes.

Exploring the Effects of a Neck Strengthening Program on Purposeful Soccer Heading Biomechanics and Neurocognition
Authors: Waring Katelyn M. , Smith Edward R , Austin Gary P , Bowman Thomas G
Published: October 2022

Background

Cervical (neck) strengthening has been proposed as an important factor in concussion prevention. The purpose of the study was to determine if a six-week cervical strengthening program affected neurocognition and purposeful soccer heading biomechanics. The hypothesis was that the neck strengthening program would improve strength, maintain neurocognition, and alter purposeful soccer heading biomechanics.

Study Design

Randomized controlled trial.

Methods

Twenty collegiate soccer athletes (8 males, 12 females, age=20.15±1.35 years, height=171.67±9.01 cm, mass=70.56±11.03 kg) volunteered to participate. Time (pre, post) and group (experimental, control) served as the independent variables. Four composite scores from the CNS Vital Signs computer based neurocognitive test (CNSVS; verbal memory, visual memory, executive function, reaction time) and aspects of heading biomechanics from inertial measurement units (xPatch; peak linear acceleration, peak rotational acceleration, duration, Gadd Severity Index [GSI]) served as the dependent variables. Each athlete completed a baseline measure of neck strength (anterior neck flexors, bilateral anterolateral neck flexors, bilateral cervical rotators) and CNSVS after heading 10 soccer balls at two speeds (11.18 and 17.88 m/s) while wearing the xPatch. The experimental group completed specific cervical neck strengthening exercises twice a week for six weeks using a Shingo Imara™ cervical neck resistance apparatus while the control group did not. After six weeks, the participants completed the same heading protocol followed by measurement of the same outcome variables. The alpha value was set to p<0.05 a priori.

Results

The interaction between time and group was significant for visual memory (F1,17=5.16, p=0.04, η2=0.23). Interestingly, post hoc results revealed visual memory decreased for the control group from pretest (46.90±4.46) compared to posttest (43.00±4.03; mean difference=3.90, 95% CI=0.77-7.03, p=0.02). Interactions for all other dependent variables were not statistically significant (p>0.05).

Conclusions

The cervical neck strengthening protocol allowed maintenance of visual memory scores but did not alter other neurocognitive measures or heading biomechanics. The link between cervical neck strengthening and concussion predisposition should continue to be explored.

Authors: Hermawan Dadang , Darsana I Made , Ernawan Yana
Published: October 2022

The inevitable transformations brought about by the rapidly changing Internet of Things (IoT) impact all aspects of life today, including management and businesses. Specifically, areas of businesses depending mainly on internal supply chain capacity are experiencing a paradigm shift to ensure effective company performance regarding purchases, production, company sales, and product distribution. This shift means that challenges faced by the internal chain supply unit can be solved by adopting and adapting IoT as a new way to minimize work delays and save time. Moreover, IoT automatically leads to performance and productivity increases. Therefore, the present paper aims to justify adopting and adapting IoT applications in Indonesian companies, including retail businesses. Most companies’ internal supply chain units face several difficulties during and after the devastating peak of COVID-19, which has led to a total global lockdown. These problems' complexity is exponential and requires innovative ways to solve their prevailing challenges. This study used observation, interview, and documentary research methods through a large-scale survey. The survey obtained the necessary information regarding how companies utilize IoT to improve their performance and productivity without hindering their internal supply chain and production units. The study concluded that the adoption of IoT, if well implemented, leads to a sustainable company and uninterrupted supply chain performance, indicating the proper performance of the organization. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-SP1-017 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Neacsu Ana , Gheorghe Daniela
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The aim of the present study is obtaining the calorific values and the qualitative properties of the pellets made from four agricultural by-products co-fired with coal and non-cofired, in order to highlight the importance of co-fired biomass as alternative energy source. The studied samples are coarse ground grist of sorghum seeds, rape seeds, soyabean, sunflower seeds and their mixture with coal. The following parameters are calculated: higher heating values, bulk densities, energy densities, fuel value index, nitrogen and sulphur content. The proximate composition as defined by ASTM was established: moisture, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon. The moisture and ash content of the studied agricultural by-products are identified as the main factors of calorific influence. The obtained results come to confirm the ability of co-fired biomass to be used as fuel. As resulted from the experimental data, the co-fired biomass of agricultural residues are good resources as biofuel in the form of pellets. Among the studied samples, co-fired sunflower seeds grist presents the highest heating value, highest fixed carbon content and fuel value index, thus being a good alternative to fossil fuel in order to produce energy and reduce the domestic air pollution and the amount of wood needed.
 
Resumen. El objetivo del presente estudio es obtener los valores de poderes caloríficos y las propiedades cualitativas de pellets elaborados a partir de cuatro subproductos agrícolas en co-combustión con carbón y sin co-combustión.  Esto se realizó con la finalidad de resaltar la importancia de la biomasa en co-combustión como fuente de energía alternativa.  Las muestras estudiadas son: molienda gruesa de semillas de sorgo, colza, soja, semillas de girasol y sus mezclas con carbón. Se calcularon los siguientes parámetros: poderes caloríficos superiores, densidades aparentes, densidades energéticas, índice de valor del combustible, contenido de nitrógeno y azufre. Se estableció la composición proximal definida por ASTM: humedad, ceniza, materia volátil y carbón fijo. El contenido de humedad y cenizas de los subproductos agrícolas estudiados se identifican como los principales factores de influencia calorífica. Los resultados obtenidos vienen a confirmar la capacidad de la biomasa de co-combustión para ser utilizada como combustible. Como resultado de los datos experimentales, la biomasa co-quemada de residuos agrícolas es un buen recurso como biocombustible en forma de gránulos. Entre las muestras estudiadas, la molienda de semillas de girasol cocida presenta el valor calorífico más alto, el contenido de carbono fijo y el índice de valor de combustible más altos, por lo que es una buena alternativa al combustible fósil para producir energía y reducir la contaminación del aire doméstico y la cantidad de madera necesaria.
Comparative study on electrochemical corrosion behavior of boronized X52 steel in 1 M HCl and H2SO4 solutions
Authors: Sliman Gougue , SAMI ZIDELMEL , Abdelkader Rouibeh , Tassi Hossine
Published: October 2022

This paper investigates the effect of boronizing treatment on the corrosion resistance of API X52 steel. Borides were grown on API X52 steel in a powder mixture containing 5% B4C as a boron source, 5% NaBF4 as an activator, and 90% SiC as diluents for 4 hours at 950 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the sample's boride layer contains only Fe2B phases. The corrosion behavior of borided and unborided specimens was investigated using the Tafel extrapolation method in 1M HCl and H2SO4 solutions. The results show that borided specimens have better corrosion resistance than unboronized specimens. The formation of layers of protective iron borides reduces the corrodability of the steel in the borided specimens. Boronizing increased the corrosion resistances of X52 steel in HCl and H2SO4 by 23 and 77-fold, respectively.

The goal of the study was to determine whether the heterotic influence and phenotypic link between a numbers of yield variables in F1 hexaploid wheat hybrids could be controlled (Triticum aestivum L.). Our research trail was held at the Botanical Garden of Sindh Agricultural University's Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics in Tandojam, Pakistan. Six parental varieties (Sunhri, PBGST2, Sarsabz, TD1, TJ83, and Moomal) and nine F1 hybrids (TJ83 x TD1, PBGST2 x TD1, TJ83 x Moomal, TD1 x Moomal, TD1 x Sarsabz, Sarsabz x Sunhri, and TJ83) were supplied with material seed by the Department of Plant Breeding. After eight characters were evaluated, the experimental fields were selected and put into a randomised complete block design with four repetitions. The hybrids differed considerably (P 0.01) for every trait examined with the exception of plant height and maturity up to 75% of the time, whereas the parents showed no differences in grain yield. There was significant heterosis in the F1 hybrids, as seen by the mean square of the parent and the hybrid. Overall, maturity was important up to 75% of the time, even if it was negatively correlated with the majority of production metrics, meaning that genotypes with early maturation produced lower yields. The spikelets spike-1, seed index, and harvest index in plant-1 were all adversely connected with plant height, however grain yield was significantly and favourably correlated with all yield indices. These findings showed that choosing plants that produce more grain could be based on one or more yield components.

Numerical Study of Thermal Conductivity Effect on The Performance of Thermal Energy Storage
Authors: Al-Ebadi Hassan , Abdullah Munther
Published: October 2022

In this study, the effect of the thermal conductivity of phase change material (PCM) on the performance of thermal energy storage has been analyzed numerically. A horizontal concentric shell-and-tube latent heat thermal energy storage system (LHTESS) has been performed during the solidification process. Two types of paraffin wax with different melting temperatures and thermal conductivity were used as a PCM on the shell side, case1=0.265W/m.K and case2=0.311 W/m.K. Water has been used as heat transfer fluid (HTF) flow through in tube side. Ansys fluent has been used to analyze the model by taking into account phase change by the enthalpy method used to deal with phase transition. The numerical simulation assumptions were three-dimensional, transient, and laminar flow was used. The result for the PCMs of performance, temperature distribution, and liquid fraction during the discharge process were compared to each other. Furthermore, the Nusselt number was analyzed. The result showed that the increase in thermal conductivity of PCM reduces the time of the solidification process by 20%. The performance of LHTESS for case 2 is 63.2%, whereas for case1 is 54.6%.

A conceptual framework for adaptive personalized nutrition advice systems (APNASs)
Authors: Renner Britta , Buyken Anette E. , Gedrich Kurt M. , Lorkowski Stefan , Watzl Bernhard , Linseisen Jakob , Daniel Hannelore
Published: October 2022

Nearly all approaches for personalized nutrition (PN) use information, such as the gene variants of individuals, to deliver advice considered more beneficial than generic one-size-fits-all recommendations. Despite great enthusiasm and the increased availability of commercial services, thus far, scientific studies reveal only small to negligible effects on the efficacy and effectiveness of personalized dietary recommendations, even when including genetic or other individual information. In addition, from the public health perspective, scholars criticize PN to primarily target socially privileged groups instead of the general population, which, thereby, potentially widens health inequality. Therefore, we propose to widen the current PN approaches by creating adaptive personalized nutrition advice systems (APNASs) tailored to the type and timing of personalized advice to individual need, capacity, and receptivity in real-life food environments. This concept encompasses a broadening of the current PN goals (i.e., what should be achieved) to incorporate individual goal preferences beyond currently advocated biomedical targets (e.g., making sustainable food choices). Moreover, it covers the personalization processes of behavior change by providing in-situ and just-in-time information in real-life environments (how and when to change), which accounts for individual capacities and constraints (e.g., economic resources). Lastly, it is concerned with a participatory dialogue between individuals and experts when setting goals and deriving measures of adaption. Under this framework, emerging digital nutrition ecosystems enable continuous, real-time monitoring, advice, and support in food environments from exposure to consumption. We present this vision of a novel PN framework together with scenarios and arguments that describe its potential to efficiently address individual and population needs and target groups that may benefit most from such a new PN advice.

Optimizing production of biodiesel from Nyamplung oil with microwave power setting
Authors: Syam Sudirman , Kurniati Sri
Published: October 2022

This experimental study examined the processing of biodiesel from Nyamplung oil bymicrowave power regulation. The aim is to optimize biodiesel yields based on the time process andheating temperature of 650 oC. A suitable method for analyzing biodiesel results is to set the 400Watts microwave power to 10%, 30%, and 50% of the maximum power. In this process a 1% w/wKOH catalyst is used with a variety of molar ratios of oil-methanol such as 1:6, 1:9, and 1:12. Theresults showed that the 1:6 molar ratio is the highest percentage of biodiesel obtained with avariation of power of 10% or equal to 40W. The fastest time in this process is 10 minutes. Incontrast, the 1:12 molar ratio is the lowest obtained percentage of biodiversity. The higher thetemperature and the molar ratio used the fewer biodiesel products are obtained.
Ab-initio quantum chemistry through computer algebra -- a challenge beyond Born-Oppenheimer theory
Authors: Kikuchi Ichio , Kikuchi Akihito
Published: October 2022

In this article, we demonstrate the first-principles computation of quantum chemistry through symbolic computation, using computational algebraic geometry. We have developed a Python program that generates symbolic formulas of one- and two-electron integrals. The approximations of those integrals by multivariate polynomials yield the set of equations required by quantum chemistry. We solve these equations in hybrid ways where numeric and symbolic computations are intertwined. We discuss the possibility of the extension of our scheme to treat the models beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
Investigating Social Benefits of Long-Distance Romantic Relationships During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Published: October 2022

Long-distance romantic relationships (LDRRs) have grown increasingly common due to career-related necessity and the proliferation of digital technologies. We sought to understand how LDRRs differed from individuals in cohabitating romantic relationships (CRRs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a multinational, six-wave dataset collected during the beginning of the pandemic (Nobservations = 2,954), we hypothesized an interaction whereby spending more time with one’s partner than was typical would lead to increased passion and decreased conflict for LDRRs, but decreased passion and increased conflict for CRRs. However, we found, regardless of relationship type, spending more time with one’s partner led to better outcomes. Nevertheless, LDRRs reported less conflict and more passion than those in CRRs. These associations remained consistent across case-control matched models and models adjusting for theoretically-relevant covariates. While LDRRs navigate periods of uncertainty better than CRRs, spending more time with one’s partner, irrespective of the arrangement, is ultimately beneficial.

Addiction medicine is a dynamic field that encompasses clinical practice and research in the context of societal, economic, and cultural factors at the local, national, regional, and global levels. This field has evolved profoundly during the past decades in terms of scopes and activities with the contribution of addiction medicine scientists and professionals globally. The dynamic nature of drug addiction at the global level has resulted in a crucial need for developing an international collaborative network of addiction societies, treatment programs and experts to monitor emerging concerns at national, regional, and global levels. In this protocol, methodological details of running longitudinal surveys at national, regional, and global levels through the Global Expert Network of the International Society of Addiction Medicine (ISAM-GEN) are presented. The surveys will be developed by global experts in addiction medicine on treatment services, service coverage, comorbidities, treatment standards and barriers, emerging drug addictions and/or dynamic changes in treatment needs across the world. Survey participants in categories of (1) addiction societies/associations, (2) addiction treatment programs, (3) addiction experts/clinicians and (4) related stakeholders will respond to these longitudinal global surveys. The results will be analyzed and cross-examined with available data and peer-reviewed for publication.
Virtual embodiment in fibromyalgia
Authors: Swidrak Justyna
Published: October 2022

Chronic pain alters the experience of owning a body and leads to disturbances in bodily perception. We tested whether women with fibromyalgia (FM) are receptive to bodily illusions of owning a visible and progressively invisible body in immersive virtual reality (VR), and what modulates this experience. Twenty patients participated in two experimental sessions; each session included two conditions in a counterbalanced order. We found that patients with FM could indeed experience virtual embodiment. Sentiment analysis revealed significantly more positive reactions to the progressively invisible body, yet twice as many patients declared they preferred the illusion of a visible virtual body. A linear mixed model revealed that the strength of embodiment was positively associated with body perception disturbances and negatively associated with FM symptoms intensity. No effect of pain during the VR experience nor interoception awareness on embodiment was found. The results indicated that patients with FM are receptive to virtual bodily illusions and that the impact of the embodiment depends on affective reactions, the level of cognitive body distortions, and the intensity of symptoms. Importantly, there is a large variation among patients which should be considered in future VR-based interventions.
Slipping while counting - gaze-gait interactions during perturbed walking under dual-task conditions

Published: October 2022

Walking is a complex task. To prevent falls and injuries, gait needs to constantly adjust to the environment. This requires information from various sensory systems; in turn, moving through the environment continuously changes available sensory information. Visual information is available from a distance, and therefore most critical when negotiating difficult terrain. To effectively sample visual information, humans adjust their gaze to the terrain or – in laboratory settings – when facing motor perturbations. During activities of daily living, however, only a fraction of sensory and cognitive resources can be devoted to ensuring safe gait. How do humans deal with challenging walking conditions, when they face high cognitive load? Young, healthy participants (N=24) walked on a treadmill through a virtual, but naturalistic environment. Occasionally, their gait was experimentally perturbed, inducing slipping. We varied cognitive load by asking participants in some blocks to count backwards in steps of seven; orthogonally, we varied whether visual cues indicated upcoming perturbations. We replicated earlier findings on how humans adjust their gaze and their gait rapidly and flexibly on various time scales: eye- and head movements responded in a partially compensatory pattern and visual cues mostly affected eye movements. Interestingly, the cognitive task affected mainly head orientation. During the cognitive task, we found no clear signs of a less stable gait nor of a cautious gait mode, but evidence that participants adapted their gait less to the perturbations than without secondary task. In sum, cognitive load affects head orientation and impairs the ability to adjust to gait perturbations.
Semiosis in Human Development and Evolution
Authors: Sinha Chris
Published: October 2022

Openings in the past and present between semiotics and theories of human development and evolution are explored. The foundations in theories of the sign of the psychological theories of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and Karl Bühler are summarized. Limitations as well as innovations of these 20th century approaches are identified. Key characteristics of the new wave of semiotically informed theories of human development and evolution are outlined, including the semiotics of artefacts and niche construction.
