Altered gravity environments, such as microgravity and hypergravity, pose unique challenges for performing fine motor tasks with object manipulation. Altered gravity has been shown to reduce the speed and accuracy of complex manual tasks. This study aims to leverage electromyography (EMG) and virtual reality (VR) technologies to provide insights into the neuromuscular mechanism of object weight compensation. Seven healthy subjects were recruited to perform arm and hand movements, including a customized Box and Block Test with three different block weights, 0 (VR), 0.02, and 0.1 kg. EMG was recorded from 15 muscles of arm and hand while manipulating objects instrumented with force sensors to collect contact forces. Muscle co-contraction extracted from EMGs of antagonistic muscles was used as a measure of joint stiffness for each task. Results show that the co-contraction levels increased in the task with the heavy object and decreased in the VR task. This relationship suggests that the internal expectations of the object weight and the proprioceptive and haptic feedback from the contact with the object are driving the co-contraction of antagonistic muscles.</p>","PeriodicalId":74568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
