A methodological study for the multifactorial assessment of motor adaptation: Integration of kinematic and neural factors

摘要: The aim of this work was to design a multimodal approach for the investigation different factors Motor Learning involves (e.g. planning, execution, correction, …). Attention focused onto issue Adaptation (MA), which takes place when learning partially (but not completely) new motor strategy is needed. We hereby present report about methodological set-up has been developed and tested adaptation during repetitive pointing tasks. exploited potentialities combined use electroencephalographic motion analysis techniques find possible relation between activity central nervous system neuro-musculo-skeletal one. adaptation-related changes in oscillatory brain movement kinematics were monitored visually-guided, feedback-controlled, sequence Our preliminary results suggest that proposed protocol: (i) can discern modifications alpha beta frequency bands; (ii) sensible kinematic alterations; and, (iii), allows quantitative evaluation performance terms both final result patterns. In we identified bunch neuro-motor biomarkers, propose as indicators adaptation.
