Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assist in the investigation of the role of the dopaminergic mechanism in the generation of force and manual speed, through the irradiation of contralateral uni-manual force of non-homologous muscles, thus helping to improve physical therapy rehabilitation techniques.
