Fig. 1From: Myoelectric interface training enables targeted reduction in abnormal muscle co-activationA reaching task that participants performed to assess the training effects using EMG data. During the motor assessment, participants performed reaches (only away-from-body reaches) three times to each of six targets (approximately 4″ in diameter and spaced 1ft apart), placed at the waist and shoulder height, in front of, and lateral to the impaired arm. The participants were asked to bring the arm back to the rest position at the side (elbow extended maximally, shoulder adducted, not flexed nor rotated with the thumb facing anteriorly) after each reach. The arrows indicate three directions of reach at the waist and shoulder heightBack to article page
