Functional training for initiating joint attention in children with autism.

Naoi N, Tsuchiya R, Yamamoto JI, Nakamura K.

Department of Psychology, Keio University, 2-15-45 Mita, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108-8345, Japan; Japan Agency of Science and Technology, 4-1-8 Honcho, Kawaguchi, Saitama 332-0012, Japan.

The present study aimed to examine the controlling variables for initiating joint attention (IJA) in three children with autism. During the baseline, target objects were presented in a location where the child could see them, but the adult could not, and the emergence of IJA was assessed. Children with autism showed some IJA skills during the baseline, but none initiated pointing. In training, the motivating operation for IJA was manipulated by using each child's preferred materials as targets of joint attention. It was found that more frequent and functional joint attention behaviors were emitted following training. The present study suggests that difficulties in IJA in children with autism could be partly explained by restricted interests in children with autism.

Functional vs. strength training in disabled elderly outpatients.

Krebs DE, Scarborough DM, McGibbon CA.

MGH Institute of Health Professions, Boston, Massachusetts 02129-4557, USA.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether high-intensity functional training (FT) or strength training (ST) better enables impairment, disability, and functional gains among disabled community-dwelling elders. DESIGN: Randomized, blinded, prospective clinical trial in a large, tertiary care outpatient rehabilitation department. Fifteen elders (62-85 yrs old) referred for physical therapy with one or more impairments, including lower-limb arthritis, participated in 6 wks of FT (weekly outpatient and three to five times per week of home practice in rapid and correct execution of locomotor activities of daily living, including gait, stepping, and sit to stand) or progressive resistive ST using elastic bands with intensity, therapist contact, and home practice similar to those of FT. RESULTS: Both groups significantly improved their combined lower-extremity strength (hip abduction, ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion, ankle plantarflexion, and knee extension) (P = 0.003), but no statistical difference between the ST and FT group gains (P = 0.203) was found. Subjects in both interventions improved their gait speed, but the FT group improved more than the ST group (P = 0.001). During chair rise, the FT group improved their maximum knee torque more than the ST group (P = 0.033), indicating that they employed a more controlled and efficient movement strategy. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that an intensive FT intervention results in strength improvements of comparable magnitude as those attained from ST and that FT also confers greater improvements in dynamic balance control and coordination while performing daily life tasks.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of task-specificity on knee extensor steadiness adaptations in functionally limited older adults. Twenty-four functionally limited older adults (74.6+/-7.6 years: 22 women, 2 men) completed a 10-week control period followed by 10 weeks (2 days/week) of resistance (RT), functional (FT) (practicing everyday tasks, i.e., chair rises) or functional + resistance (FRT) training, which featured both shortening and lengthening movements. During testing, subjects performed a steady isometric [10, 25, 50% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)] and shortening/lengthening (5, 30, 65% of MVC) knee extensor contractions. There were no steadiness (isometric, shortening or lengthening contractions) changes in the control period and no adaptations in isometric steadiness due to training. RT induced a 37% reduction in shortening fluctuations at 5% of MVC and 35% reduction in lengthening fluctuations at both 30% and 65% of MVC. FRT induced a 60% reduction in shortening fluctuations at 30% of MVC. No adaptations in dynamic steadiness were observed in the FT group. Further analysis indicated that those who were the least steady at baseline showed the greatest training effects during isometric (RT: R (2)=0.25, FRT: R (2)=0.49, FT: R (2)=0.38), shortening (RT: R (2)=0.36, FRT: R (2)=0.36, FT: R (2)=0.35) and lengthening (RT: r (2)=0.29, FRT: r (2)=0.44) contractions. In conclusion, steadiness improvements in groups performing resistance exercise, without a concomitant improvement in the FT group, supports a role for task-specificity in explaining steadiness adaptations, particularly for unsteady older adults.

Functional training for dentistry: an exercise prescription for dental health care personnel.

Jones AC, Forsythe S.

University of Southern California School of Dentistry, USA.

Athlete's Performance, an organization of specialists in the development of athleticism and injury prevention, has analyzed the seated postural demands of dental health care workers for the purpose of developing an exercise protocol appropriate to the dental profession. As with their individualized exercise prescriptions for some of the world's most acclaimed athletes, the conditioning of the torso is the focus of a prescription for exercise when injury prevention is emphasized. An analysis of the seated postural demands common to dental health care workers is the basis for an exercise protocol intended to strengthen the torso and encourage "good" seated posture.

BACKGROUND: Regular physical activity may improve different aspects of wellbeing in older people, such as quality of life, vitality and depression. However, there is little experimental evidence to support this assumption. Therefore, we examined the effect of different training protocols on quality of life, vitality and depression of older adults living in long-term care facilities. METHODS: Subjects (n = 173, aged 64 to 94 years, living in long-term care facilities), were randomized to six months of three different moderate-intensity group exercise training protocols, or to an 'educational' control condition. Exercise consisted of two 45-60-minute training sessions per week of 1) resistance training; 2) all-round, functional training; or 3) a combination of both. Perceived health, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), the Vitality Plus Scale (VPS) and the Dementia Quality of Life questionnaire (DQoL) were administered at baseline and after six months. RESULTS: In the combined training group a small but significant decline was seen in perceived health, DQoL and VPS score compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that neither strength training nor all-round, functional training of moderate intensity is effective in improving quality of life, vitality or depression of older people living in long-term care facilities.

Psychophysics in functional strength and power training: review and implementation framework.

Ives JC, Shelley GA.

Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, Neuromuscular Control Laboratory, Ithaca College, NY 14850, USA. jives@ithaca.edu

Functional training is considered to be training that attempts to mimic the specific physiological demands of real-life activities. Most approaches to functional training, though, omit important factors that contribute to physiological and neuromotor adaptations. Cognitive factors related to sports influence physiological performance, and subsequently, physiological and neuromotor adaptations. We present a rationale and a theoretical framework by which to create effective functional training methods that incorporate cognitive factors. This framework draws upon recent developments and strong empirical evidence in the areas of dynamic systems theory, perceptual skills training, and motor learning/control. Emphasized within rigorous physical training are practice-related techniques and motor-learning strategies. In particular, mental effort, attention, and intention manipulated in a discovery-learning paradigm provide a framework for functional strength and power training. This framework is suggested to help maximize sport-specific physiological adaptations, and subsequently, sports performance.

Functional training: muscle structure, function, and performance in older women.

Cress ME, Conley KE, Balding SL, Hansen-Smith F, Konczak J.

University of Washington, Department of Medicine/Geriatrics, Seattle 98127, USA.

Response to physical training at the cellular and whole muscle level has been established in older adults. However, the underlying molecular mechanism responsible for change has not been described nor have the relationships between change in muscle structure and functional performance been established. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the changes of muscle ultrastructure, muscle strength, and whole body functional performance as a result of a functionally directed exercise program (stair climbing). Women (65-83 years old) selected either the control (no exercise; N = 6) or exercise (N = 7) group. The 1-year functionally based exercise program was both aerobic (75% heart rate reserve) and resistive (weighted stair climbing). Muscle ultrastructure, determined by quantitative morphometry of the vastus lateralis tissue, and maximal step-height achieved by each subject were related to isokinetic strength and muscle morphology. Changes in myofibrillar area accounted for 48% of the variance in muscle strength changes. Change in muscle contractile protein was the underlying basis for change in thigh strength which, in turn, was the basis for functional performance. These data provide evidence that, in older women, a mild functionally based training program results in improved muscle structure and performance of the lower body.
