Assessment of Upper Limb Motor Performance Using an Interface With Haptic Feedback

Summary

The purpose of the study is to test an evaluation environment based on a device that has the ability to provide the user with tactile (haptic) sensations. This environment will be used to investigate how the arm movements of a healthy person are performed, and then - at a later stage - to find out whether it is possible to measure changes during musculoskeletal pain. Electrical signals produced by the brain (called electroencephalogram or EEG) will be recorded by means of electrodes on the surface of the scalp (non-invasive). In addition, the angle of the elbow joint during movement will be measured, with the intention of using objective measures to aid future evidence-based clinical decision making.

It is expected that the developed environment can be used -in the near future-, to evaluate the progression of pathologies associated with muscle pain, or to quantify the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapies.
