ANALYSIS OF THE USEFULNESS OF VISUAL FEEDBACK TESTS IN THE ASSESSMENT OF VISUOMOTOR COORDINATION IN HEALTHY PEOPLE
Journal Title: Medycyna Sportowa - Year 2015, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
[b]Background. [/b]Visual biofeedback tests enable to examine eye-hand coordination and the ability of asymmetrical limb movement. However, these tests can be unreproducible because of the learning curve. The aim of the study was to assess the presence of a learning curve during training using a visual biofeedback test.[b]Material and methods. [/b]The study involved 30 young people. During each session, the subjects were trained using an exercise available with Neuroforma software. Each subject participated in 6 sessions of 10 minutes each. In the last three sessions the scores awarded for the execution of the exercise, the percentage time of correctly performed exercises and the level of difficulty achieved were assessed.[b]Results.[/b] The results for the first exercise in each testing session, performed at the same difficulty level, were, on average, 92, 95 and 96 points; improvements in subsequent sessions were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). There was also no improvement in the percentage time of correctly performed exercises (p> 0.05). Time of appropriate simultaneous movement of both hands during the three testing sessions was, respectively, 79%, 81% and 84%.[b]Conclusions. [/b]1. There were significant individual differences in both the baseline level of coordination and the learning rate. 2. No clear learning process was observed between the three consecutive testing sessions, which may suggest that the exercise investigated can be a reliable measuring tool to assess visuomotor coordination.
