Virtual motor training of individuals with upper extremity amputations – Relative effects on movement variability and cognitive load
The focus of this project is on methods for optimising rehabilitation for upper-extremity prosthesis users. Upper extremity training protocols will be developed and evaluated using measures of movement variability and cortical brain activity. The project is embedded within the field of motor control and learning and is based on the premise that augmented variability in practice can enhance motor learning and rehabilitation.
