Abstract Purposes. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between cervical radiculopathy and eye-hand coordination in patients with chronic unilateral cervical radiculopathy due to a discogenic lesion in the lower cervical spine. Methods. Sixty participants of both sexes participated in this study. Their age ranged from 30 to 50 years old. Patients were selected from governmental hospitals in Zagazig city, Egypt. Participants were divided into two groups: Group I (study group) included 30 patients with chronic unilateral cervical radiculopathy due to a discogenic lesion in the lower cervical spine. Group II (control group) included 30 healthy participants with no complaints. Neck pain intensity was assessed by the numeric pain rating scale. Weight and height were assessed by body mass index (BMI). All participants underwent eye-hand coordination assessment using the Purdue Pegboard Test, the Talking Pen by Wayne Engineering, the wall catch test, and the standardized finger-to-nose test. Results. There was a significant relationship between cervical radiculopathy and eye-hand coordination. There was a statistically significant difference between both groups (p = 0.001) in all eye-hand coordination tests as there was a significant decrease in Purdue Pegboard Test scores, dominant, non-dominant, bilateral, and assembly of the study group compared with that of the control group. There was a significant increase in Talking Pen test time and the number of errors of dominant and non-dominant hands in all tests of the study group compared with that of the control group. There was a significant decrease in standardized finger-to-nose scores and the wall catch test of the study group compared with that of the control group. There was a negative significant correlation between the numeric pain rating scale and Purdue Pegboard Test scores, standardized finger-to-nose test, and wall catch test. There was a positive significant correlation between the numeric pain rating scale and Talking Pen test time and the number of errors while using dominant and non-dominant hands. Conclusions. Patients with cervical radiculopathy have significant impairment in eye-hand coordination. This may give attention to physical therapists during the management of patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Lakshyajit Gogoi, Anil Mili, Poli Borah, Tadang Minu, Karuppasamy Govindasamy, Hemantajit Gogoi – The role of perception-action coupling in badminton-specific vision training: A narrative review –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(1); 66-72

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8EF8

Abstract
Background and Study Aim. Badminton is a sport characterized by intense competition and rapid pace, necessitating exceptional hand-eye coordination, mental sharpness, and visual acuity from its players. Rapid interchanges and complex shot combinations highlight the imperative for players to maintain heightened concentration and exhibit quick decision-making capabilities. Given these demands, visual training has emerged as an indispensable tool for enhancing athletic ability in badminton.
Aim. The study aims to examine the underlying theories of perception-action coupling, investigates various vision training methods for badminton, and evaluates research on their effects on players’ perception-action coupling.
Material and Methods. This study employs a narrative review methodology. We conducted an extensive literature search across diverse sources, using keywords like “badminton,” “perception-action coupling,” and “vision training.” The selection of studies was based on relevance to our research objectives, encompassing various study designs, including primary research, reviews, and expert opinions, facilitating a flexible and coherent synthesis of findings, enabling the exploration of context, significance, and implications within the area of the review while highlighting key insights and emerging trends.
Results. Several factors can influence a player’s perception-action coupling abilities in badminton, such as their level of expertise and training background. Expert players exhibit better perception-action coupling abilities than their less skilled counterparts. Additionally, several studies have investigated the impact of vision training techniques on perception-action coupling in badminton, revealing improvements in various visual skills crucial for performance.
Conclusions. The study explored the pivotal role of perception-action coupling in the context of vision training tailored for badminton players.

Aleksandra Deninger, Urszula Nowacka-Gębosz, Kamila Pilok, Małgorzata Domagalska-Szopa, Andrzej Szopa – Infant crawling and motor coordination level of children aged 4-7 years. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(5); 216-225

Abstract
Introduction. One of the stages of a child’s motor development in the first year of life is crawling, whose positive influence on psychomotor development has been supported by research. However, some children skip this stage of locomotion and start to move immediately in a standing position. The aim of the study was to assess the motor and visual-motor coordination of children who did not crawl in infancy and to compare the results with a group of children who did not omit this stage of motor development.
Material and methods. The study involved 53 healthy children aged 4-7 years attending preschool facilities in Upper Silesia. The control group consisted of 20 children, who did not crawl in infancy. The control group consisted of 33 children who were crawling in infancy. The research consist: author’s questionnaire and Ozierecki’s Test of motor and visual-motor coordination. Questionnaire concern five parts of information about health, development, and current motor skills level of children. The second stage of the study – Ozierecki’s Test (interpreted by A. Barański) was used to assess the motor and visual-motor coordination level of 4-16 years old children.
Results. The group of crawling children had a higher level of visual-motor coordination, but only in one of the examined skills (swinging). The presence of crawling does not significantly affect the motor abilities of an older child. In the study group, it is noted that the higher the value of Apgar points obtained at birth, the higher the motor skills and motor coordination.
Key words:
crawling, motor coordination and visual-motor coordination
