Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Depending on the performance of the participants, who are asked to perform a maximal electromyogram (EMG) for 2 seconds we will use a) the highest value of the EMG, b) the mean, or c) the median for analysis. We will also measure the control of the hand by asking the participants to control opening and closing the hand at slow speed, at comfortable speed, and at high speed. The speed and the aperture of the hand will be measured.	—
