Bimanual coordination and aging: neurobehavioral implications.
We investigate whether aging leads to global declines in discrete and continuous bimanual coordination tasks thought to rely on different control mechanisms for temporal coupling of the limbs. All conditions of continuous bimanual circle drawing were associated with age-equivalent temporal control. This was also true for discrete simultaneous tapping. Older adults' between-hand coordination def...
متن کاملDimensionality in rhythmic bimanual coordination.
Newell and Vaillancourt (2001) hypothesized that the dimensionality of motor behavior is a function of the level of task performance and the task dynamic. The present study examined high (in-phase), moderate (antiphase) and low (45°, 90°, and 135° relative phase) levels of task performance in bimanual coordination. Estimates of dimensionality were calculated for the component (effector movement...
متن کاملfMRI study of bimanual coordination.
Eleven right-handed subjects performed uni- and bimanual tapping tasks. Hemodynamic responses as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in the primary somato-motor cortex (SMC) showed that during bimanual activity the SMC contralateral to the hand taking the faster rate was more strongly activated than the SMC contralateral to hand taking the slower rate. There were no asymm...
متن کاملBimanual coordination: influence of age and gender.
INTRODUCTION Bimanual hand coordination is very important in carrying out day to day activities like buttoning the shirt, driving, picking up objects. It depends on various factors like age, gender, education, intactness of central and peripheral nervous system, Occupation and lifestyle. AIM The aim of the study was to compare the efficiency of bimanual hand coordination between right handed ...
