OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate two-point discrimination (2PD) sense and kinesthetic sense dysfunctions in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients compared with a healthy group. METHODS The 2PD sense, muscle force, and kinesthetic differentiation (KD) of strength; the range of motion in radiocarpal articulation; and KD of motion were assessed. RESULTS The 2PD sense assessment...

An experiment investigated in human adults the sensorimotor transformation involved in pointing to a spatial target identified previously by kinesthetic cues. In the "locating phase," a computer-controlled mechanical arm guided the left [condition LR (left-right)] or right [condition RR (right-right)] finger of the blindfolded participant to one of 27 target positions. In the subsequent "pointi...

This paper outlines a PhD project that focuses on bodily interaction. The project is grounded in interaction design informed by psychology, sports psychology, kinesiology, cognitive science and phenomenology and explored within the context of competitive sports, leisure/fun and education. As the project is in its initial stages this paper presents the approach of the project and outlines some o...

According to recent findings, intentional motor actions are controlled by resetting the referent position, R, at which neuromuscular elements, including reflexes, begin to act. It is suggested that somatosensory afferents inform the brain about the deviation (P) of body segments from the centrally set referent position. To perceive the actual position (Q) of body segments and form the position ...

Background. Modern literary sources indicate that of the five main channels through which a person receives information (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and tactile sensations), subjects learning mainly use only three — auditory, visual, determine visual kinesthetic. Purpose was to types perception by interns participants training in specialty “Anesthesiology intensive care” optimize postgraduate...
