Lack of interlimb transfer following visuomotor adaptation in a person with congenital mirror movements despite the awareness of the visuomotor perturbation
2021, Brain and CognitionCitation Excerpt :Numerous studies were conducted to investigate the pattern of interlimb transfer and demonstrated that the pattern varied across different motor skills. For example, investigators have uncovered skills that transfer from the dominant to the nondominant arm (Wang and Sainburg, 2004; Criscimagna-Hemminger et al., 2003; Ammons 1958; Gordon et al., 1994; Halsband 1992) and from the nondominant to the dominant arm (Sainburg and Wang, 2002; Wang and Sainburg, 2006a; Hicks 1974; Parlow and Kinsbourne 1990; Taylor and Heilman 1980), as well as skills that transfer in both directions (Morton et al. 2001) and skills that do not transfer in either direction at all (Baizer et al. 1999; Kitazawa et al. 1997; Rand et al. 1998; Teixeira 1993). Some studies also showed that the pattern of interlimb transfer following the performance or adaptation of a motor skill under a novel visuomotor environment can also vary depending on certain factors, such as workspace locations for each arm and movement features in question.
Intermanual Transfer Effects in Below-Elbow Myoelectric Prosthesis Users
2016, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationLateralized motor control processes determine asymmetry of interlimb transfer
2016, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :However, other studies have reported that handedness has no influence on transfer of motor practice effects across the arms (Balitsky Thompson and Henriques, 2010; Stockinger et al., 2015). While earlier studies tended to examine transfer of tasks such as finger tapping (Laszlo et al., 1970) keyboard pressing (Taylor and Heilman, 1980), and writing (Parlow and Kinsbourne, 1989, 1990), more recent studies have focused on adaptation to environmental perturbations during reaching, a paradigm that allows for the quantification of the extent of transfer, as well as assessing the coordinate system governing transfer. In the case of adaptation to novel force fields imposed by programmable robotic devices, some studies reported asymmetries in the direction and extent of transfer (Sainburg, 2002; Criscimagna-Hemminger et al., 2003; Wang and Sainburg, 2004a; Duff and Sainburg, 2006; Schabowsky et al., 2007; Yadav and Sainburg, 2014b; Lefumat et al., 2015), while Stockinger et al. recently reported complete symmetry in transfer of adaptation to velocity-dependent curl-fields imposed by a robotic device.
Keeping an eye on imagery: The role of eye movements during motor imagery training
2011, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Previous studies evaluating intermanual transfer due to physical practice have reported large differences in transfer depending on the nature of the task and the direction of transfer. Some training studies showed symmetrical (or bilateral) transfer of learning (Elliott and Roy, 1981; Imamizu and Shimojo, 1995), while others showed that transfer occurred more efficiently from either the dominant to the nondominant hand (Parlow and Kinsbourne, 1990) or vice versa (Taylor and Heilman, 1980). Also with regard to imagery practice, asymmetries in intermanual transfer were found (Lohse et al., 2010).
Unilateral strength training increases voluntary activation of the opposite untrained limb
2009, Clinical NeurophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Finally, the limited functional benefits directly associated with the contralateral strength training effect may not apply to other types of contralateral training effects such as cross-limb transfer of motor learning, as certain types of motor skills have been shown to transfer strongly to the opposite untrained limb (Parlow and Kinsbourne, 1990; Dizio and Lackner, 1995; Teixeira, 2000; Morton et al., 2001; Weeks et al., 2003) and may have significant clinical benefits.
