Preterm birth leads to an increased risk of long-term consequences, with over 50% of children born <30 weeks facing motor, cognitive, or behavioural impairments. Early monitoring of motor developmental trajectories, strongly associated with neurodeve...
Insights into the general nature of motor skill could fundamentally change how we develop movement abilities, with implications for musculoskeletal well-being and injury. Here, we sought to identify indicators of general motor skill-those shared by e...
Humans use diverse skills and strategies to effectively manipulate various objects, ranging from dexterous in-hand manipulation (fine motor skills) to complex whole-body manipulation (gross motor skills). The latter involves full-body engagement and ...
Locomotor learning is important for improving gait and balance impairments in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). While PD disrupts neural networks involved in motor learning, there is a limited understanding of how PD influences the time course of...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Automated surgical skill assessment using kinematic and video data (hard data) sources has been widely adopted in the literature. However, experts' opinions (soft data) in the form of free-text could be an invaluable source ...
For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the "ceiling effect." One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we chall...
This study aimed to investigate the relative importance of parameters from several domains associated to both selecting or de-selecting players with regards to the next age group within a professional German youth soccer academy across a 7-year perio...
Twenty-first-century roboticists envision robots capable of sorting objects and packaging them, of chopping vegetables and folding clothes. But although many today believe that the only factors necessary for robots to achieve dexterous manipulation a...
Growing evidence supports that early sport specialization in children and adolescents may compromise long-term athlete development and high-performance acquisition. This study aimed to determine the presence of specialised shooting roles in formative...
