Impact of hemispheric specialization on reactive upper limb motor control after perturbations via a newly designed reactive pinch-holding-up activity test
Background
Reactive motor control is essential for optimizing movements, particularly in response to unexpected perturbations. Although hemispheric specialization is known to influence motor performance, its role in reactive motor control during fine motor tasks remains uncertain. This study aimed to develop a reliable reactive Pinch-Holding-Up Activity test to deliver controlled perturbations and measure reactive responses, evaluate the effects of various perturbation scenarios on grip responses, and investigate hemispheric influences on motor adaptation.
Methods
This cross-sectional observational study recruited 20 right-handed young adults to assess the reliability of the test and 26 participants to investigate the effects of hemispheric specialization. The reactive Pinch-Holding-Up Activity test comprised three conditions: predictive perturbation, unpredictable perturbation during holding, and unpredictable perturbation during lifting. Key parameters analyzed included reaction time, time to regain grip stability, peak grip force, force ratio, and baseline pinch force.
Findings
The test demonstrated good reliability, with the intraclass correlation coefficient improving from 0.571 to 0.868 after removing outliers. In the perturbation during lifting condition, both hands exhibited lower peak grip force compared to the perturbation during holding condition (p = 0.002 for the right hand; p < 0.001 for the left hand). The left hand showed greater precision in timing and force adjustments under both holding and lifting conditions (p < 0.05).
Interpretation
These findings indicate that the test is a reliable tool for assessing fine motor control and reveal hemispheric differences in reactive motor adaptation. The left hand's superior precision under unpredictable conditions suggests potential applications in rehabilitation and motor adaptation research.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
