PART 1: REACH, GRASP, AND MANIPULATION
PART 1: REACH, GRASP, AND MANIPULATION
What are the 4 key components of UE control?
- ) Locating the object (visual regard or perhaps auditory regard)
- ) Transportation of arm in space (reaching and the necessary postural control to support reaching)
- ) Grasp and release
- ) In-hand manipulation
What is the difference between feedback and feedforward control?
- Feedback – input from sensory systems is compared to a reference signal (the movement that was intended) – the difference is used to update the output of the system.
- Feedforward – or anticipatory control – relies on previous experience to predict the consequences of sensory information that is received.
Locating a Target:
- Normally ________ is used to locate object and guide UE movements – requires coordination of eyes (central visual field) and head (peripheral visual field)
- Kinematic studies – eyes reach object before head movement occurs but EMG studies – neck muscles are activated first.
- Reaching to objects in the far visual field will also involve _______ movements.
- Hand movements are more accurate if _____ movements are involved.
- vision
- trunk
- eye
Kinematics of Reach and Grasp:
- The control of arm movements depends on the _______ of the task.
- During pointing – all segments of the arm are controlled as a unit.
- During reach and grasp – the hand is controlled ____________ of the other arm units.
- Velocity profiles and movement durations vary dependent on _______.
- goal
- independently
- task
Grasping:
- Patterns vary depending on________, ______, and _______ of object.
- ________ vs. ________ (eye liner versus hammering).
- Posture of thumb and fingers will vary.
- location, size, and shape
- power vs precision
- ______ grasp – handle of a suitcase
- _________ grasp – softball
- _________ grasp - bottle
- Hook
- Spherical
- Cylindrical
- ________ Grip – the finger and thumb pads are directed toward the palm to transmit a force to the object.
- ________ Grip – the forces are directed between the thumb and fingers – allows movement of the object relative to the hand and within the hand.
- Power
- Precision
What are the requirements for successful grasp? (2)
- The hand must be adapted to the shape, size, and use of the object.
- The finger movements must be timed appropriately in relation to transport so that they close on the object just at the appropriate moment.
Shaping of the hand for grasp occurs during the ___________ phase of the reach and is affected by:
- ) the ________ properties of the object such as size, shape, and texture.
- ) the ________ properties such as orientation, distance from the body, and location with respect to the body.
Transition Phase
- intrinsic
- extrinsic
What are the 4 phases of Grasp and Lift tasks?
- ) Contact between fingers and object.
- ) Grip force and load force (load on fingers) increase.
- ) Load force overcomes weight of object – movement starts.
- ) End of task – decrease in grip and load force shortly after object makes contact with table.
Grasp and Lift Tasks:
- This scheme allows great flexibility in lifting objects of different weights.
- Duration of loading depends on objects ________.
- Grip and load force ratios have to be above a certain level otherwise _________ will occur.
- Previous experience and afferent information assist in determining these ratios.
- If there is a mismatch – receptors in finger pads are activated – pacinian corpuscles.
- Role of cerebellum – predictive control of grip forces.
- ________ lesion – poor predictive control of grip forces.
- ________ lesions – normal timing of predictive grip forces but reduced response amplitudes.
- weight
- slipping
- cerebellar
- cortical
- Although reach and grasp are controlled by different systems, the timing of each is _________.
- In a patient with dysfunction, do we train them seperately or together?
- coupled
- both separately and together

- What do we develop at 9-13m of age?

Eye Head Coordination:

- Initial tracking is performed with ________ eye movements.
- Limited ______ ________ present in the infant.
- Quickly improves around __ weeks of age.
- __ months – eyes stay on object most of time.
- __ months – predictive abilities.
- Head movements in smooth pursuits – present in 1 month olds and increases with age through at least 5.
- before
- saccadic
- smooth pursuit
- 6w
- 3m
- 5m
Eye Hand Coordination:
- At __ months – head-arm movements become coupled very strongly and then become uncoupled to allow more flexibility.
- At __ months – beginning postural stability – stable base for moving.
- 2m
- 4m
Motor Components of Reach and Grasp:
- __-__ months –extension of arm – opening of hand – difficulty to grasp object.
- __ months – reaching becomes more refined – approach path straightens, number of segments of the reach decreases.
- __ months – visually guided reaching.
- Reaction time reducing with age up to 16-17 years.
- 0-2m
- 4m
- 5m
Changes in Adults:
- ____-______ changes such as slowing of onset latencies for postural response or decreased movement speed.
- Coordination factors related to changes in movement or muscle activation patterns.
- Changes in the use of ________ and _________ control of both postural and mobility skills.
- time-related
- feedback and feedforward
Reaching Changes with Age:
-Discrete reaching slows __-__% in velocity – depending on task.
Hypothesized to be due to changes in information processing.
Changes in reaching coordination with more time spend in the deceleration phase.
More complex tasks – more age related changes.
30-90%
Grasping Changes with Age:
- Decrease in manual ________.
- Time required to manipulate small objects increased __-__% by age 70.
- Older adults use larger grasp forces and take longer to adapt the force.
- Most age-related decrements in reaching performance can be improved with training. Training effects remain high for at least a month after training has ended and also transfer to other reaching tasks.
- dexterity
- 20-45%
