Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a broad definition of a neurological condition in which disorders in movement execution and postural control limit the performance of activities of daily living. In this paper, we first review studies on motor planning in hemiplegic CP. Second, preliminary data of a recent study on eye-hand coordination in participants with hemiplegic CP are presented. Here, the potential role of vision for online and prospective control of action was examined.
Review and presentation of preliminary data of an eye- and hand movement registration experiment in hemiplegic CP.
Deficits in motor planning in hemiplegic CP contribute to limitations of activities of daily living. In the second part, exemplary plots of eye-hand coordination are presented for the affected and unaffected hand in one participant with hemiplegic CP, and for the preferred hand in controls, both as an illustration of the research methodology and to give an impression of the observed gaze patterns.
Research on CP should not solely focus on low-level aspects of action execution, but also take into account the more high-level aspects of motor control, such as planning. Possible deviations therein may be sought in altered gaze patterns as illustrated in the paper.
脑性瘫痪(CP)是对一种神经状况的广义定义,其中运动执行和姿势控制方面的障碍限制了日常生活活动的表现。在本文中,我们首先回顾关于偏瘫型CP运动规划的研究。其次,展示了一项关于偏瘫型CP参与者眼手协调的近期研究的初步数据。在此,研究了视觉对动作的在线和前瞻性控制的潜在作用。
回顾并展示偏瘫型CP眼手运动记录实验的初步数据。
偏瘫型CP的运动规划缺陷导致日常生活活动受限。在第二部分,展示了一名偏瘫型CP参与者患侧手和健侧手以及对照组优势手的眼手协调示例图,既作为研究方法的说明,也为观察到的注视模式提供一个印象。
对CP的研究不应仅关注动作执行的低层次方面,还应考虑运动控制的更高层次方面,如规划。如本文所示,可能在改变的注视模式中寻找其中的可能偏差。
