Effects of biofeedback on whole lower limb joint kinematics and external kinetics
Biofeedback (BFb) is a useful tool to accelerate the skill development process. Limited research has applied BFb to the whole lower-limb in a complex skill therefore the aim of this research was to assess the effectiveness of a biofeedback intervention targeting whole lower limb kinematics. Thirty-two healthy participants were randomized to a BFb (n = 16) and…Continue Reading Effects of biofeedback on whole lower limb joint kinematics and external kinetics
Do National and International Ethics Documents Accord With the Consent Substitute Model for Emergency Research?
In 2010 Largent, Wendler, and Emanuel proposed the “consent substitute model” for emergency research with incapacitated participants. The model provides a means to enroll participants in emergency research without consent, if five conditions are met: 1) the research addresses the patients’ urgent medical needs, 2) the risk–benefit ratio is favorable, 3) there are no known…Continue Reading Do National and International Ethics Documents Accord With the Consent Substitute Model for Emergency Research?
Sensoriality, Social Interaction, and “Doing sensing” in Physical–Cultural Ethnographies
As recently highlighted, despite a burgeoning field of sensory ethnography, the practices, production, and accountability of the senses in specific social interactional contexts remain sociologically under-explored. To contribute original insights to a literature on the sensuous body in physical–cultural contexts, here we adopt an ethnomethodologically sensitive perspective to focus on the accomplishment, social organization, and…Continue Reading Sensoriality, Social Interaction, and “Doing sensing” in Physical–Cultural Ethnographies
