Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Using Optotrak we measure the trajectories of rigid bodies (see point 12 for more information). From this we derive GEV, NGEV and the ratio of these two for the 40 trials in the first part and for the 40 trials with a linear trajectory in the second part (uncontrolled manifold method). These two measures will be compared.
Secondary outcome
Kinematic measures, joint angles, GEV, NGEV and ratio will be computed for all trials.
Study design
The total duration of a session will be approximately 1.5 hour.
Intervention
Several different virtual balls will be presented on a plasma screen horizontally positioned in a table (Panasonic TH-50PY70F, width: 110cm, height: 62cm). There will be two conditions, reaching and interception. In the reaching condition only the target distance will be manipulated. The target distances will be 20, 30 and 40cm to the right from the starting position of the right index finger which is in front of the participant.
Similar to the reaching condition, the interception distances will be 20, 30 and 40 cm from the starting position of the participants’ right index finger. In addition, the to be intercepted targets will fall under 26.5, 0 or -26.5 degrees. Half of the participants will execute the reaching trials before the interception trials and the other half of the participants will execute the reaching trials after the interception trials.
Inclusion criteria
The subjects included in this study are able bodied and right handed, with normal or corrected to normal vision. Both male and female subject will be included. All subjects included will be between 18 and 30 years of age.
Exclusion criteria
Subjects with (history of) pain or musculoskeletal impairments of the arms or upper body will not be included.
The same accounts for subjects with prior experience in the use of myoelectric devices and subjects younger than 18 or older than 30.
