It is important to maintain the communication with an agent (e.g., a robot), when people enjoy the human-agent communication. Recent studies reported that using shiritori, a game where players say a word starting with the last letter of the previous word, may be effective to verbally communicate with an agent speaking semi-natural language (i.e., words expressed by the combination of sounds of “do” and “ra”). This study examined what factors influence the communication with the agent using such language. Experiment 1 investigated the effect of the timing of providing information on the guessing of the word expressed by semi-natural language. Participants watched a video clip of the agent using such language, guessed the meaning of the word it spoke, and reported their confidence in their guess. They were provided information about the initial letter and the number of characters before or after watching the video clips. The results suggest that the timing of the information is not important to guess the semi-natural language word. Experiment 2 investigated the effect of shiritori with the agent on the guessing of semi-natural language. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: assuming shiritori, informed of the initial letter, and non-informed groups. The confidence rating was higher in the shiritori group than in the other groups. Therefore, the information provided by shiritori should be important to guess the semi-natural language words. We also discussed the possibility that the typical word pairs in shiritori can influence the guessing of such language.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinematic characteristics of the lower limbs in relation to the rotation movement of the body based on the moment of the ground reaction force. Twenty-two male collegiate baseball players (age: 19.8 ± 1.3 yr, height 1.75 ± 0.04 m, body mass 73.9 ± 6.2 kg, athletic career:12.1 ± 2.1 yr) participated. They performed baseball tee-batting, set at middle ball height for the strike zone. Threedimensional coordinate data were acquired with a motion capture system (Vicon-MX), and ground reaction force data for both legs were acquired with 3 force platforms. High and low groups (HG and LG) were categorized by the mean peak moment around the vertical axis of the body’s center of gravity caused by the ground reaction force. The period analyzed was that from stride-side foot contact with ground until ball impact, and 2 phases were defined as follows: backward phase, stride-side foot contact with ground until the peak moment of the ground reaction force; forward phase, the end of the backward phase until ball impact. Statistical analysis was conducted using an independent t-test between HG and LG (p <0.05), and the effect size was calculated (small: d = 0.2; middle: d = 0.5; high: d = 0.8). In the backward phase, the flexion angle of both hips was greater in the HG than in the LG at event1 (pivot-side: d = 0.74; stride-side: d =0.97). The abduction angle of the pivot-side hip was significantly greater in the HG than in the LG (stride-side foot contact with ground: d = 0.94; peak moment of the ground reaction force: d = 1.44). In the forward phase, the external rotation angle of the pivot-side hip was significantly greater in the HG than in the LG (d = 1.02), which contributed to the inter-group difference in the internal rotation angle at the instant of stride-side foot contact. These results indicate that the motions of both hip joints acted to rotate the whole body around the vertical axis effectively. The knowledge obtained from this study should provide useful suggestions and insights into coaching for movements of the lower limbs in order to improve batting performance in relation to the rotational movement of the body.

The purpose of this study is to determine a target ROM (T-ROM) at 3 months after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, by which patients can expect eventual full recovery. Subjects consist of 209 shoulders in 202 patients, including 116 males and 86 females with an average age of 61.5 years old, who underwent primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and were followed-up for a minimum of 2 years. There were 30 partial-thickness tears, 120 small to medium and 57 large to massive full-thickness tears. Anterior elevation (AE), external rotation at side (ER), and internal rotation (IR) ROM at 3 month after surgery (ROM-3M) were measured, and divided into five groups according to the values. The final ROM at 24 months after surgery was compared with each ROM-3M of these subgroups in order to determine the T-ROM. Then, according to the T-ROM, patients were also divided into two groups: less than the T-ROM (AE-, ER-, and IR-); and more than the T-ROM (AE+, ER+, and IR+), and average ROM in each group were compared with each other. The final ROM of AE was significantly better in the group of more than 120° than less than 120 degrees. Therefore, the T-ROM of AE was determined as 120°. Similarly, those of ER and IR were determined as 10° and L5 level. ROM at 6 and 9 months in the AE+ group was significantly better than those of the AE- group. Further, every ROM at 3 to 24 months in the ER+ group was significantly better than those of the ER- group. In conclusion, ROM at 3 months after surgery affects final shoulder function. Surgeons and therapists should pay attention to the T-ROM at 3 months after surgery described above in order to maximize patients's final shoulder function.

Primary frozen shoulder is believed to be a self-limited disease. However, many patients complain of prolonged symptoms such as night pain and refractory stiffness. The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of steroid injection to the glenohumeral joint for primary stiff shoulder associated with night pain. Subjects consisted of 115 consecutive patients, including 37 males and 72 females with an average age of 59.4 years old, who were diagnosed as having primary frozen shoulder at the shoulder clinic in our institute from May to November, 2009. Our treatment principles are as follows: we recommend patients who complain of night pain to keep their arm at rest and carry out trunk and scapular exercises, in addition to steroid injection to the glenohumeral joint once a week until the night pain subsides. Then, physiotherapy is initiated of the hand of therapists. Range of motion at the first visit and at the time when the night pain disappeared was evaluated, as well as that at the final follow-up which was 5.8 months on average.The mean forward flexion, external and internal rotation significantly improved when the night pain disappeared, which was 4.8 weeks on average, from 97.5, 9.2°, and S level to 117.5, 17.4°, and L4 level. The range of motion at the final follow-up was 144 degrees in flexion, 31 in external rotation, and L2 level in internal rotation.Steroid injection to the glenohumeral joint was effective for pain relief for patients with primary frozen shoulder associated with night pain. Removing inflammation at the glenohumeral joint is a key factor when treating such patients and this also enables patients to proceed with effective physiotherapy.

To investigate the effect of continuous focused attention on change detection, Nakashima & Yokosawa (2018) conducted a single object change detection task, manipulating blank durations and locations of study and test images (same/different). They suggested that attention can focus on a local area during a brief blank period, and that continuous focused attention facilitates only the detection of occurring change. We examined this suggestion further. To examine the possibility that observers strategically move attention during a long blank period rather than attention being spontaneously disengaged from a focused area, the image location condition was blocked. Additionally, the numbers of change trials and no-change trials were equated, in contrast to the larger number of change trials in the previous research. Even with these changes in method, our experiment showed that the change detection performance in the same location condition was better in the short blank than the long blank condition only in change trials. Thus, we suggested that attention certainly focuses on an area only briefly and facilitates change detection.

ある位置を注視していたとしても、頭部方向正面で見るか、横目で見るかによって、視覚処理が変容する。具体的には、頭部正面方向における視覚処理が促進される。本研究では、横目で注視点を見ている時の、視覚的注意の空間的な広がりについて検討した。実験では、注視点位置に呈示されるTの文字の向き判断と、周辺視野に呈示されるドットの検出を同時に行う、二重課題の有効視野課題を行った。また、注視点に対する頭部(と身体)方向を、正面・左右と操作した。注視点の左または右にドットが出てきた場合の検出率の差分を左バイアスという指標とし、頭部方向条件間で比較した。その結果、左バイアスは、頭部方向が左、正面、右の順に大きかった。同様に下バイアスも比較したが、頭部方向条件間に違いは見られなかった。よって、横目観察時には、水平方向において、有効視野が頭部正面側に偏って広がっていることが示唆される。
