Haptics can be defined as the characterization and identification of objects by voluntary exploration and somatosensory feedback. It requires multimodal sensing, motor dexterity, and high levels of cognitive integration with prior experience and fundamental concepts of self versus external world. Humans have unique haptic capabilities that enable tool use. Experimental animals have much poorer ...

In this study, the intra- and interobserver reliability of the Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments (SWMFs) was determined in the hands of 15 patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. In addition, the amount and distribution of sensory loss in the hand, and the relation between sensory loss, intrinsic muscle strength, and hand dexterity was explored in 45 patients. SWMF testing had good intra- and i...

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Accurate assessment of motor function is important for documenting disability and the effectiveness of rehabilitative treatment. The Manual Function Test (MFT) was developed to evaluate unilateral manual performance in hemiparetic patients after stroke. This test consists of eight items, including the pegboard task, an item assessing dexterit...

The influence of the development of postural control of the trunk and center of the body on the development of fine manual dexterity ability is a common assumption. The objectives of this study were: (1) to examine the relationship between the adult version of the Nine-Hole Peg Test and the "children's version" in order to establish construct validity for the latter, and (2) to investigate the ...

To investigate neural coding characteristics in the human primary somatosensory cortices, the cortical representation of two fingers with different levels of functional skill has been focused (the thumb –high dexterous– and the little finger –low dexterous–). The finger dexterity was scored by the Fingertip writing test. In the two hemispheres, dynamic neural synchronization was analysed in the...

OBJECTIVE To explore circadian variation in pain, stiffness, and manual dexterity in patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Twenty one patients with hand OA, as defined by ACR criteria (17 women, four men, mean age 62.2 years, range 52-74 years) self rated pain and stiffness on separate 10 cm horizontal visual analogue scales and performed bead intubation coordinometry (BIC) six time...

BACKGROUND Mental practice (MP) is a cognitive strategy which may improve the acquisition of motor skills and functional performance of athletes and individuals with neurological injuries. OBJECTIVE To determine whether an individualized, specific functional task-oriented MP, when added to conventional physical therapy (PT), promoted better learning of motor skills in daily functions in indiv...

BACKGROUND After stroke, deregulated interhemispheric interactions influence residual paretic hand function. Anodal or cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can rebalance these abnormal interhemispheric interactions and improve motor function. OBJECTIVE We explored whether dual-hemisphere tDCS (dual-tDCS) in participants with chronic stroke can improve fine hand motor functi...
