The standing posture is one of the most important factors in the maturation of the neuromotor system, and it is an evolutionary necessity that phylogenetically makes possible the differentiation of functions between the upper and lower limbs, influencing a greater development of the latter; with a fundamental change in the shape of the foot: it increases the importance of the tarsus and metatarsus and reduces the work of the fingers, which facilitates the movement, transfer and independence of the individual in their activities of daily life. The design and production of the prototype of the device, the judgment of the experts, as well as the results of the physiotherapeutic evaluation before and after the standing program, are the threads that are woven in this research proposal. This study seeks to propose a prototype of a standing frame for pediatric patients with spina bifida. The design of a device for standing is proposed based on the individual characteristics of the users, which was evaluated by experts to later perform a case study on a standing program with this type of device in pediatric patients with spine bifida. The designed prototype seems to offer adequate conditions for maintaining standing and on some musculoskeletal conditions of the patient studied. The study concludes that assisted standing should be promoted through inexpensive, functional and continuous monitoring devices. A user-applied design is proposed and not a generic device model.

This chapter presents a case study related to the development of an in-school framework that is concerned with the identification, assessment and interventional management of children with developmental coordination disorder and motor learning disabilities. The aim was to use reliable and tested procedures of identification and assessment as well as to adopt teaching methodologies that discover, reveal and use the individual characteristics of each child to reduce the limitations and to make in-school movement situations accessible to all students. The initial goal was not necessarily the immediate improvement of motor dexterity of the child, but the improvement of the psychological and socio-affective.

The effects of biofeedback trainings (BFT) are sufficiently detailed in scientific literature. However, the mechanism of their formation and individual characteristics of the reactions are not fully disclosed. The purpose of the paper is to study the indirect effect of biofeedback trainings aimed at managing arterial pulse on hypoxic stability and ANS state in healthy people, taking into account the individual characteristics of the response. Materials and Methods. The study involved 28 young women and 26 young men (19–23 years old), who underwent a 15-day biofeedback training. The authors measured the trial subjects’ heart rate (HR), duration of RR-intervals, blood pressure before and after the training. A hypoxic stress test was also carried out. Results. According to the results of the biofeedback trainings, all the volunteers were retrospectively divided into two groups: “reducing heart rate” (R) and “non-reducing heart-rate” (N). All females and N males demonstrated an almost twofold decrease in the number of low-resistant-to-hypoxia persons with their transition into a group of medium- and high- resistant ones. N-girls, if compared with R-girls, showed a greater increase in the number of highly resistant persons (p=0.06). Resistance comparison between male groups also showed a significant increase in highly resistant persons in N-males, if compared to R-males (p=0.01). Biofeedback-training in all groups led to a steady blood pressure decrease (both systolic (p<0.001) and diastolic (p<0.03)). Conclusion. The results obtained indicate an adaptive decrease in sympathetic activation at rest and in response to physiological (hypoxic) stress. Moreover, training effect intensity depends on the individual characteristics of the ANS initial state. Keywords: biofeedback, heart rate, hypoxic stress test, blood pressure, autonomic nervous system. Эффекты влияния тренингов с биологической обратной связью (БОС) достаточно подробно освещены в научной литературе, однако механизм их формирования и индивидуальные особенности возникающих реакций не до конца раскрыты. Цель. Изучение косвенного влияния цикла БОС-тренингов по управлению артериальным пульсом на гипоксическую устойчивость и состояние ВНС у здоровых людей с учетом индивидуальных особенностей реагирования. Материалы и методы. В исследовании приняли участие 28 девушек и 26 юношей от 19 до 23 лет, которые прошли 15-дневный БОС-тренинг. До и после тренинга проводилось измерение частоты сердечных сокращений (ЧСС), длительности RR-интервалов, артериального давления, а также гипоксический стресс-тест. Результаты. По показателям успешности БОС-тренингов добровольцы ретроспективно были подразделены на группы «снижающих ЧСС» (С) и «неснижающих» (Н). У всех девушек и Н-юношей было выявлено практически двукратное снижение количества низкорезистентных к гипоксии лиц с переходом их в группу средне- и высокорезистентных. У Н-девушек по сравнению с С-девушками количество высокорезистентных выросло сильнее (р=0,06). Сравнение резистентности между группами юношей показало также существенный прирост высокорезистентных в группе Н-юношей по сравнению с С-группой (р=0,01). БОС-тренинг у всей группы привел к устойчивому снижению АД, как систолического (p<0,001), так и диастолического (p<0,03). Выводы. Приведённые результаты свидетельствуют об адаптивном снижении симпатической активации в покое и в ответ на физиологический (гипоксический) стресс. При этом выраженность тренировочного эффекта зависит от индивидуальных особенностей исходного состояния вегетативной нервной системы. Ключевые слова: биологическая обратная связь, частота сердечных сокращений, гипоксический стресс-тест, артериальное давление, вегетативная нервная система.

SummaryUsing a monoclonal antibody-based assay, we measured the fibrin degradation product release in the supernatant of plasma clots obtained before and after venous occlusion (VO) in 30 patients with definite or suspected vascular thrombosis (19 definite and 2 suspected deep vein thrombosis, 6 recurrent superficial thrombophlebitis, 3 arterial occlusions of lower limbs). tPA and PAI-1 concentrations were determined using ELISA assays; the post-occlusion values were corrected for haemoconcentration. The increase in tPA during VO was correlated with haemoconcentration (r = 0.74), but 3 patients had ineffective VO (<2% increase in proteins). The fibrinolytic response to VO was evaluated using the shortening of the time necessary for the release of 200 μg of fibrin degradation products per mg of fibrinogen (Δ T 200). Two among the 27 patients with effective VO were bad responders with a Δ T 200 <3 h (whereas all the others had Δ T 200 >10 h). These patients had respectively a deficient tPA release (Δ tPA = 1 ng/ml) and an elevated PAI-1 level at rest (33 ng/ml). Several other patients were bad responders in terms of tPA release or of shortening of the euglobulin clot lysis time but they had a normal Δ T 200. This plasma clot test reflects the ability of free tPA to bind to fibrin (the amount of which depends on the level of tPA and PAI-1), and may be useful in the diagnosis of a hypofibrinolytic state.

The work is devoted to the consideration of improving the quality of teaching students the discipline “Numerical methods” through the development of the cognitive component of computational thinking based on blended learning. The article presents a methodology for the formation of computational thinking of mathematics students, based on the visualization of algorithmic design schemes and the activation of the cognitive independence of students. The characteristic of computational thinking is given, the content and structure of computational thinking are shown. It is argued that a student with such a mind is able to manifest himself in his professional field in the best possible way. The results of the application of the technique are described. To determine the level of development of the cognitive component of computational thinking, a diagnostic model has been developed based on measuring the content, operational and motivational components. It is shown that the proposed method of developing computational thinking of students, taking into account the individual characteristics of students’ thinking, meaningfully based on the theoretical and practical aspects of studying the discipline, increases the effectiveness of learning the course “Numerical methods”. The materials of the article are of practical value for teachers of mathematical disciplines who use information and telecommunication technologies in their professional activities.
