A classification of manipulative hand movements / J. M. ELLIOTT in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-3 (June 1984)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-3 (June 1984) . - p.283-296 Titre : A classification of manipulative hand movements Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : J. M. ELLIOTT, Auteur ; Kevin CONNOLLY, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.283-296 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The nature of manual manipulation of objects is discussed. It is argued that a functional distinction should be made between palmar grips which immobilise an object in the hand, and digital patterns which permit manipulation. Such a distinction is separate from any anatomically defined power and precision configurations. Manipulative hand movements may be grouped into three classes, based on differences between sequenced patterns of movement and synergies, the latter being further subdivided into simple and reciprocal patterns. Within each of the three classes, a number of individual movement patterns are described. These differ mainly in the number of digits involved and the way in which the thumb is employed. The classification is concerned with movements of the digits directed at manipulating an object within the hand. It is not concerned with movements of the hand as a whole, using the wrist or more proximal joints, while holding an immobilised object.

Measurement of kinaesthetic sensitivity / A. J. R. DOYLE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 28-2 (April 1986)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 28-2 (April 1986) . - p.188-193 Titre : Measurement of kinaesthetic sensitivity Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. J. R. DOYLE, Auteur ; Kevin CONNOLLY, Auteur ; J. M. ELLIOTT, Auteur Année de publication : 1986 Article en page(s) : p.188-193 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Two recent papers (Laszlo and Bairstow 1980, Bairstow and Laszlo 1981) have used the method of constant stimuli to measure kinaesthetic difference thresholds. If this method is used, however, certain constraints must be observed: these concern the values of the stimuli relative to the threshold, and the numbers of observations made at each value. Laszlo and Bairstow appear to have neglected these constraints, which must cast doubt on their results. In any case, the method of constant stimuli has largely been superseded by staircase techniques for threshold estimation, on grounds of economy of trials for a given level of accuracy in estimation. It is concluded, therefore, that the details of the method as described by Laszlo and Bairstow are unsuitable for testing kinaesthetic sensitivity, and that other methods are preferable.
