  • Summary:cross education

    Dear List,

    Thanks to all who replied to my question regrading the ability of
    cross education to occur in motor tasks in addition to strength and
    muscular endurance. While not all my questions have been
    answered, your help has been invaluable.

    In addition to cross education, other terms have been proposed
    inclusing bilateral transfer and effector independence, and this may
    make our job more difficult in finding all the information about this
    phenomenon.

    Below is the summary of the replies i recieved.

    Hi Justin,

    I am a PhD student at University of Southern Cal. in the
    department of
    Biokinesiology. The following articles are from a motor control,
    rather
    than a biomechanics, perspective. Let me know if they are helpful.
    1. Steenbergen, et al. (1996). Exp Brain Res 110:91-98
    2. I only have the author for this one:
    Cohen (bipedal coord in stroke) Affected limb enhanced and
    unaffected
    drawn toward affected.
    3.Franz, et al. (1996) Phychological Science 7 (5): 306-310. This is
    about
    spatial and temporal coupling in bimanual movements callosotomy
    patients. I
    think this is an excellent study.

    Good Luck,

    Dear Justin:

    In motor learning parlance, the phenomenon to which you refer
    is commonly termed "bilateral transfer of learning". You might
    try that phrase in your searches. I know there has been some
    recent work on that topic but I don't have the references at my
    fiungertips. You might also check recent motor behavior texts
    by R.A. Schmidt and T. Lee, R.A. Magill, D. Rose, and C.
    Shea et al. for references. Finally, much of this type of work
    is published in the Journal of Motor Behavior, Human Movement
    Science, and Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport.

    Good luck!

    Justin,

    I am a Ph.D. student in motor learning at Texas A&M University.
    There has been some research in our lab concerning transfer of
    force production between limbs and transfer between biceps and
    triceps of the same limb. Some of the results are in press, but I
    don't think any have been published yet. In brief, relative force (i.e.
    relative force of two consecutive pulses) is transferred, but absolute
    force (correct amount of force) is not. Similar results have been
    found with dynamic elbow flexion-extension. This work has been
    done by Charles Shea. His email is cshea@tamu.edu.

    Justin,
    I am only vaguely aware that there has been some research done
    on this
    phenomenon in the U.S. Some people also refer to this as a type
    of
    entrainment. If you search under "entrainment" only a small
    portion will
    address what you are seeking.

    I believe Moshe Feldenkrais did some fairly scientific research on
    this
    topic. Unfortunately, Feldenkrais' work was embraced by the
    alternative
    heath community more than the medical community, which simply
    means it will
    be difficult to find much in refereed journals. It may, however,
    provide
    you with enough to create a bridge from the 1930's to the present.

    Good Luck,
