Age-related differences in the motor planning of a lower leg target matching task

摘要: While the development and execution of upper extremity motor plans have been well explored, little is known about how individuals plan execute rapid, goal-directed tasks with lower extremities. Furthermore, amount time needed to integrate proper visual proprioceptive feedback before being able accurately a movement not understood; especially in children. Therefore, purpose this study was initially interrogate planning provided child may influence preparation leg movement. The results displayed that pre-movement reaction accuracy goal directed All subjects had longer times less accurate movements when no provided. In addition, children slower times, movements, than adults for all presented targets times. These highlight require more successfully extremity. This suggests potentially robust internal models these types skills.
