Abstract

This study investigated the effects of transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) on para-athletes' manual dexterity and intralimbal coordination. Six para-athletes from a Boccia Team participated. t-PBM was administered using a LED helmet with 204 LEDs (660 and 850 nm) emitting 10 mW each, delivering 9 J/cm² per LED during 15-min sessions three times a week. The trial lasted 2 weeks, with baseline, placebo treatment, and post-treatment assessments. Manual dexterity was measured by Box and Ball Test (BBLT), and intralimbal coordination by discrete and continuous horizontal and vertical touch tests. Results showed significant improvements in manual dexterity for the t-PBM group compared to the placebo. Discrete vertical touch tests showed reduced time to perform movements, and continuous vertical touch tests showed increased movement frequency in the t-PBM group. No significant improvements were observed in the placebo group. t-PBM was shown to be a potentially effective treatment, with significant benefits in fine motor skills.

经颅光生物调节对羽毛球运动员精细运动技能的影响。

本研究探讨了经颅光生物调节（t-PBM）对残疾人运动员手灵活性和肢体协调能力的影响。6名来自地滚球队的残疾人运动员参加了比赛。t-PBM使用带有204个LED（660和850 nm）的LED头盔进行管理，每个LED发射10 mW，每个LED在15分钟的疗程中每周三次提供9 J/cm2。试验持续2周，包括基线、安慰剂治疗和治疗后评估。采用盒球测试（Box and Ball Test， BBLT）测量手灵巧度，采用离散和连续水平和垂直触摸测试测量肢体内协调性。结果显示，与安慰剂相比，t-PBM组的手灵巧性有显著改善。离散垂直触摸测试显示，t-PBM组的运动时间缩短，连续垂直触摸测试显示，t-PBM组的运动频率增加。在安慰剂组没有观察到明显的改善。t-PBM被证明是一种潜在的有效治疗方法，对精细运动技能有显著的好处。
