TLDR
Cerebellar patients with parietal or cerebellar lesions showed some similar and some contrasting deficits in reach-to-grasp coordination, and the cerebellum was more dominant in controlling temporal coupling between transport and grasp components.Abstract:
Background: The differential contributions of the cerebellum and parietal lobe to coordination between hand transport and hand shaping to an object, have not been clearly identified. Objective: To contrast impairments in reach to grasp coordination, in response to object location perturbation, in patients with right parietal and cerebellar lesions, in order to further elucidate the role of each area in reach to grasp coordination. Method: A two-factor design with one between subject factor (right parietal stroke; cerebellar stroke; controls) and one within subject factor (presence or absence of object location perturbation) examined correction processes used to maintain coordination between transport to grasp in the presence of perturbation. Sixteen chronic stroke participants (8 with right parietal lesions and 8 with cerebellar lesions) were matched in age (mean=61years; standard deviation=12) and hand dominance with 16 healthy controls. Hand and arm movements were recorded during unperturbed baseline trials (10) and unpredictable trials (60) in which the target was displaced to the left (10) or right (10) or remained fixed (40). Results: Cerebellar patients had a slowed response to perturbation with anticipatory hand opening, an increased number of aperture peaks and disruption to temporal coordination, and greater variability. Parietal participants also exhibited slowed movements, with increased number of aperture peaks, but in addition, increased the number of velocity peaks and had a longer wrist path trajectory due to difficulties planning the new transport goal and thus relying more on feedback control. Conclusion: Patients with parietal or cerebellar lesions showed some similar and some contrasting deficits. The cerebellum was more dominant in controlling temporal coupling between transport and grasp components, and the parietal area was more concerned with using sensation to relate arm and hand state to target position.read more

TL;DR: The results indicate that performing a well-learned upper limb movement with concurrent cognitive task leads to decreased efficiency of motor control in chronic stroke survivors compared with HCs.

TL;DR: The modified reach-to-grasp movement performed without the constraint of the splint, demonstrates similar motor control and coordination between the grasp and transport components of reach- to- Grasp as in seated reach-To-Grasp.

TL;DR: The relationship between the raters' judgments was significant and the reliability was good, and it is believed these results to be positive enough to encourage further trials of the modified Ashworth scale for grading spasticity.

The Timing of Natural Prehension Movements
TL;DR: Prehension movements were studied by film in 7 adult subjects and found that transportation of the hand to the target-object location had features very similar to any aiming arm movement, that is, it involved a fast-vel velocity initial phase and a low-velocity final phase.

Is the cerebellum a smith predictor
TL;DR: This article suggests that the cerebellum forms two types of internal model, a forward predictive model of the motor apparatus and a time delays in the control loop, which delays a copy of the rapid prediction so that it can be compared in temporal register with actual sensory feedback from the movement.
