Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Primary outcome measure per test part;
<br><br>
The time elapsed between start of the first attempt to switch and the completion of the switch, the
error between required and produced velocity and the difference between the aperture of the
virtual gripper and the diameter of three differently sized virtual balls.

The above described measures will be ranked over participants per test. These ranks will be analyzed.

Doel van het onderzoek
In the process of developing a serious game which can be used to determine and improve patients’
capacity of producing switch signals for myoelectrically controlled hand prostheses, a part of the test
needs to be validated. The current study focusses on 1) determining whether subject are equally
good at performing discrete control as they are is performing proportional control and 2) gaining
insight into learning behavior of switching.
Onderzoeksopzet
All subjects will be measured on 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday). The pretest will be done at day
one, the posttest on day 5. The training days will be on day 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The primary results are based on times and distances. These measures are all based on data collected
from the avatar that is displayed on the screen.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
This study is set up with a pre- posttest design with a training period in between. During the training
all subjects will train with a serious game in a virtual reality setting. This serious game is controlled
using surface EMG measured on the flexor and extensor of the wrist. Per day this training will take 20
minutes. During the pre- and posttest all subjects will also perform an EMG controlled task in a
virtual environment.
