ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

In daily life tasks of the upper limb, we must make quick corrections with our hands in unstable postural situations. Postural and reaching control mechanisms are involved in the accurate execution of upper-limb tasks. RESEARCH QUESTION This research aimed to determine the effect of different postural stability conditions on the motor performance of the upper limb in a reaching task with non-static targets.

METHODOLOGY:

19 young participants performed a reaching task toward targets that exhibited a change in position (at 200 or 600 ms) in different postural conditions (bipedal-firm, bipedal-foam, and unipedal-foam surface). Performance on the screen (motion time and spatial error), balance (center of pressure displacements, CoP), and index finger movements were recorded during the reaching task.

RESULTS:

The instability affects the finger kinematic (displacements) and CoP kinematic (displacements, speed, and smoothness) without affecting the performance on the screen (precision and duration). The timing of target change affects the performance on the screen, finger kinematic (speed and smoothness), and CoP kinematic (displacements, speed, and smoothness).

SIGNIFICANCE:

Postural and reaching control systems enable accurate hand motions in less stable situations, even in reaching tasks with non-static targets. The postural and reaching control systems can protect the end-effector performance during unstable conditions but not during trials with less time to correct the motion.
