Für den Golfputt deuten bisherige elektrophysiologische Studien auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen Putt-Leistung und der EEG-Aktivität im Alpha-Frequenzbereich hin. In der vorliegenden Studie untersuchen wir, ob Alpha-tACS über dem Motorkortex zu einer Verbesserung des Golfputts führt. Dazu erhielten jeweils 15 fortgeschrittene Golfer entweder Alpha-tACS oder Sham-Stimulation in drei Blöcken mit jeweils 50 Putts vor, während und nach der Stimulation. Als abhängige Variablen wurden sowohl die Bewegungsausführung (Wiederholbarkeit) als auch das Bewegungsergebnis (Distanzkontrolle) erfasst. Ein förderlicher tACS-Effekt auf die Putt-Leistung konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden.","PeriodicalId":49343,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Neuropsychologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45868813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Die Korrelationen zwischen beiden Testbatterien waren gering, diesbezügliche Normwertvergleiche zeigten signifikante Unterschiede. Aus den Analysen zur Testmotivation ergab sich ein Vorteil für die KiTAP. Leistungsparameter beider Testbatterien korrelierten nur schwach mit Schulnoten. Die Ergebnisse stellen im Grundschulalter Reliabilität und Validität sowie die Güte der Testnormierung beider Verfahren infrage. In der diagnostischen Praxis bei Kindern sollten mit TAP und KiTAP erhobene Untersuchungsbefunde nur mit Vorsicht interpretiert werden, da je nach verwendetem Verfahren unterschiedliche Befunde zu erwarten sind.","PeriodicalId":49343,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Neuropsychologie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43556679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The booklet “1, 2, 3 – All About Neuropsychology” focuses on neuropsychological therapy, while “Look Carefully – Psychosocial Assessment” addresses psychosocial assessment. Both booklets explain the topics in a patient-oriented and age-appropriate way and motivate patients to actively participate in two sessions each (psychoeducational, work and exercise, and reflection). The evaluation of the booklets showed a positive association between neuropsychological assessment and therapy.

Darüber hinaus erfährt es derzeit interessante Erweiterungen durch den Einsatz von „Augmented Reality“- und von „Virtual Reality“-Verfahren. Weiterhin empfohlen zur Behandlung des Neglects wird das Training mittels langsamer Folgebewegungen zur kontralateralen Seite und mittels Nackenmuskelvibration. Unter den nichtinvasiven transkraniellen Hirnstimulationsverfahren hat sich das kontinuierliche Theta-Burst Stimulation (cTBS) -Protokoll in Bezug auf die Neglectsymptomatik als wirksam erwiesen, wenn es mit mindestens einem weiteren Trainingsverfahren (z. B. Explorationstraining) kombiniert wurde. Zur Behandlung des Pusher-Syndroms wurden Visuelles-Feedback-Training und robotergestütztes Laufbandtraining von unterschiedlichen Gruppen erfolgreich eingesetzt. Die Situation ist problematischer bei jenen Verfahren, die zur Behandlung der weiteren in der Leitlinie besprochenen Störungen der Raumkognition (Bálint-Syndrom, Simultanagnosie, optische Ataxie, Störungen der visuell-räumlichen Wahrnehmung, visuokonstruktive Störungen, topografische Störungen) eingesetzt werden.

To address this research gap, we conducted a descriptive analysis of clinical and neuropsychological data from N = 29 critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to an early neurological rehabilitation facility. Most patients had been diagnosed with critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), and one-third exhibited additional brain damage. Upon admission, all patients exhibited severe cognitive impairments, demonstrating significant improvement following neuropsychological therapy. Nonetheless, the neurocognitive outcomes at discharge displayed a high cognitive and psychoemotional status variability.
