Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the influence of fatigue induced by a series of palmar grip repetitions on the involuntary activation of synergistic and contralateral muscles (motor overflow) during an isometric flexion activity of the index finger in healthy participants | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To examine the relationship between motor overflow and muscle fatigue after a series of palmar grip repetitions. To analyze force generation during an isometric flexion activity of the index finger at 70% of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC), considering the influence of laterality and motor preference in healthy women | — |
