Van, Wijck Frederike Marlijn Jeanneke. "Skill acquisition in people with chronic upper limb spasticity after stroke." Thesis, Queen Margaret University, 2006. https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/7410.

Abstract:

Background: After a stroke, a considerable proportion of people experience upper limb (UL) impairments, which may affect their activities of daily living. Focal spasticity is common, for which botulinum toxin-type A (BTX-A) is used increasingly. However, published randomised controlled trials have not used valid outcome measures to assess the effects of BTX-A on spasticity and have hardly explored its impact on UL function. The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate whether task-specific UL practice in the form of an evidence-based, functional skill acquisition programme, administered a

Abstract:

This paper investigates in what way employment for low-skilled workers is connected to the wage dispersion in a country by comparing Sweden to six European countries. Previous research on this topic used cross-section analysis, but this essay takes another approach by comparing the changes in the wage dispersion and employment and by breaking down the change in the wage dispersion into parts and studying the change in the wage for different percentiles. The paper finds that wages in Sweden have not converged, which likely contributed to the increase in the employment gap between people with hi

Abstract:

Background: Due to a high occurrence of motor impairment following stroke, motor learning is fundamentally important for stroke rehabilitation. Motor learning interventions can be difficult to deliver by clinicians and researchers due to individual differences in motor abilities that are compounded by neural changes associated with an ischemic insult. To enhance motor learning, interventions must be grounded in understanding patterns of performance change, both behaviourally and neurologically. Methods: In Chapters 2 and 3, performance data were fitted to exponential curves to measure perfo

Abstract:

Currently, mental handicap nursing reflects a scenario whereby major advances have occurred within a relatively short time scale. Sophistication not previously recognised has created an educational requirement for a clear relationship between knowledge, skills and assessment. Student nurses are expected to develop their skills through reflective practice, and it is the intention of this study to analyse the place of practical skills assessment in the educational and professional growth of students as they progress through their programme of training.

Abstract:

People recommender systems (PRS) are a special type of RS. They are often adopted to identify people capable of performing a task. Recommending people poses several challenges not exhibited in traditional RS. Elements such as availability, overload, unresponsiveness, and bad recommendations can have adverse effects. This thesis explores how people’s preferences can be elicited for single-event matchmaking under uncertainty and how to align them with appropriate tasks. Different methodologies are introduced to profile people, each based on the nature of the information from which it was obtaine

Aims and rationale for the studies: The overall aim of this thesis was to analyse the relationships between cognitive abilities and number skills in children and adults. Examining the links between number skills and cognitive abilities is important both to improve our theoretical knowledge and to inform practitioners who are assessing and teaching children who have number skills difficulties. One important theoretical debate that can be informed by this work is whether normally developing individuals solve problems involving numbers using distinct cognitive modules that are specialised for suc

To better understand the difficulties and strengths associated with both high and low functioning individuals with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), the hyper-systemising theory has been proposed by Baron-Cohen and colleagues.
