The effect of a task-specific training on upper limb performance and kinematics while performing a reaching task in a fatigued state.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fatigue impacts motor performance and upper limb kinematics. It is of interest to study whether it is possible to minimize the potentially detrimental effects of fatigue with prevention programs.

Objective

To determine the effect of task-specific training on upper limb kinematics and motor performance when reaching in a fatigued state.

Methods

Thirty healthy participants were recruited (Training group n = 15; Control group n = 15). Both groups took part in two evaluation sessions (Day 1 and Day 5) during which they performed a reaching task (as quickly and accurately as possible) in two conditions (rested and fatigued). During the reaching task, joint kinematics and motor performance (accuracy and speed) were evaluated. The Training group participated in th
