Q

What are some key elements to reach, grasp, and manipulate tasks?

A
  • locating target (visual regard)
  • coordination of eye and hand
  • reaching (translocation of arm and hand AND postural support)
  • grasping including grip and release
  • in hand manipulation of object

Q

When there is an object in peripheral vision sequence of events during reaching and grasping, what happens?

A
eye movement (shortest latency)
head movement (EMG activity in neck is before eyes but inertia of head is large so our eyes move first)
-eyes focus on object before head stops moving

Q

When there is vision of the object needed, which moves more the head or eyes?

Q

When do you use full head and eye simultaneous movement?

A

when greater accuracy is needed

20
Q

What are the 3 distinct conditions in the target location?

A

eye movement alone
control of eye movement and head movement
locate in far periphery, eye, head and trunk movement together

21
Q

What does the parietal cortex do to your eyes and head when reaching and grasping?

A

it anticipates the amount of eye and head movement that is needed and updates the brain’s representation of the visual field based upon the anticipated movement

22
Q

How do we know that through visual saccades, the eyes catch up to the brain’s updated image?

A

because parietal neurons begin to fire 80 msec prior to the visual saccade

23
Q

How does the parietal neurons communicate with the premotor cortex and the frontal eye fields?

A

through corollary discharges

24
Q

Where are neurons that drive saccadic movements and UE movement located?

A

adjacent to the UE primary motor cortex in the frontal eye fields (saccadic movements) and the pre motor cortex (UE movement)

25
Hand eye coordination: Hand movements are more accurate when accompanied by?
eye movements
26
There is an _____ gain and _____ latency of visual pursuit movements when the hand is following the target.
increased gain and decreased visual pursuit
27
The link between hand and eye movement is not through proprioceptive feedback (movement is too fast to rely on feedback), so what is the linkage between?
afferent copy or corollary discharge
28
With hand eye coordination, what does proprioceptive feedback assist in?
accuracy of visual and manual pursuit
29
When used to point at an object, the arm and hand is controlled as what?
a unit
30
when reaching to grasp, the hand and arm are controlled how?
hand is controlled independently of the rest of the arm
31
What are the details of velocity with grasp?
acceleration phase < deceleration phase
32
What are the details of velocity with point and hit object?
acceleration phase > deceleration phase
33
velocity of grasp and throw
longer acceleration phase
34
velocity of grasp and fit object into box
shorter acceleration phase than grasp and throw
35
What are the different tasks that a patient should be able to do?
``` reach and point reach and grasp reach, grasp, and throw reach, grasp, and manipulate reach, grasp, and place in box or remove from box ```
36
What is the illusion called when there is a small object surrounded by larger object and the same small object surrounded by another small object would look bigger?
Ebbinghaus illusion
37
What two visual pathways does the Ebbinghaus illusion separate well?
dorsal and ventral visual streams
38
what is the ventral visual stream?
site where you cognitively recognize the relative size of objects
39
Where is the ventral visual stream going?
it is a pathway to the temporal lobe
40
What does the dorsal visual stream control?
grip size. positioning hands properly to pick up an object
41
Where is the dorsal visual stream going?
to the posterior parietal cortex
42
Duration of reaching with visual feedback?
longer duration but greater accuracy
43
What helps mediate cortically blind but visual behaviors when talking about pointing and target position?
superior colliculus
44
What role does visual feedback have on grasp?
no difference in the kinematics of grasp with or without feedback
45
What can be noted when using visual feedback when grasping?
the thumb position in relation to the wrist is the key
