[Substantiation of a procedure for correction of the properties of human motor abilities via biofeedback for support reaction].

BACKGROUND

Stability training, including rehabilitation, using the principle of biofeedback for support reaction on the stabilometric platform, is used to restore the functions of maintaining balance in medicine and to increase vertical stability in athletes, etc. in sports.

AIM

To substantiate a procedure to correct the properties of human motor abilities during stability training, which are based on the consideration of the consistently involved levels of the nervous system in the construction of movements during games using biofeedback for support reaction.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The multilevel motion construction concept proposed by N.A. Bernstein (1947) was analyzed. Computer-assisted stabilometry, including Romberg's test with the eyes open and closed in the European standing (for 51 sec), was used for objective instrumental assessment of postural function. The study included 7 university students who belonged to a special medical group for their health status. The training was stopped when the student felt worse, tired, and unwilling to continue the game. The training duration was 12 to 22 minutes. To obtain reliable results, all stabilometric examinations were made from 8 to 9 o'clock in the morning. The study results were statistically analyzed using the goodness-of-fit test: Z-test (equality of the observed frequencies of two events), Wilcoxon signed rank test (when comparing dependent samples).

RESULTS

The paper describes a relationship between the provisions of the multilevel motion construction concept proposed by N.A. Bernstein and the information about the levelled organization of movements during games via biofeedback for support reaction; guidelines for their use and experimental confirmation for the higher function of motor abilities: muscle synergy and kinesthetic sensitivity.

CONCLUSION

There is evidence for the positive training effect on the function of motor ability properties of the pallidothalamic level of the nervous system during games via biological feedback for support reaction, their informative value compared with other stabilometric indicators.
