BACKGROUND
This study was aimed at investigating the impact of assisted cycling therapy (ACT) on fine manual dexterity in adults with Down's syndrome (DS).
METHODS
Nine persons with DS completed four different interventions: voluntary exercise (VE), voluntary with music (VEM), assisted exercise (AE) and no exercise (NE). Fine manual dexterity (e.g., Purdue Pegboard) was tested pre and post interventions.
RESULTS
The results showed dominant and bimanual hands were improved after AE but no evident in either subtest after VE. The assembly subtest, processed by spatial-temporal ability, was only improved after VEM and NE.
CONCLUSIONS
It is speculated that AE stimulated more peripheral sensory input to the motor cortex and neurotransmitters than the other interventions. In addition, the involvement of music may enhance spatial intelligence during VEM. Even though the exact mechanisms are still unknown, the implication of our results showed that AE and VEM can improve fine manual dexterity in persons with DS.
背景
本研究旨在探讨辅助循环疗法（ACT）对唐氏综合征（DS）成人精细运动技能的影响。
方法
9 名 DS 患者完成了 4 种不同的干预措施：自愿运动（VE）、自愿加音乐（VEM）、辅助运动（AE）和不运动（NE）。干预前后测试精细运动技能（例如，Purdue 钉板）。
结果
结果表明，AE 后优势手和双手的精细运动技能都有所提高，但 VE 后两个分测试均无明显改善。装配分测试，由空间-时间能力处理，仅在 VEM 和 NE 后得到改善。
结论
据推测，AE 比其他干预措施更能刺激运动皮层和神经递质的外周感觉输入。此外，音乐的参与可能会在 VEM 期间提高空间智力。尽管确切的机制尚不清楚，但我们研究结果的意义表明，AE 和 VEM 可以改善 DS 患者的精细运动技能。
