Abstract：
BACKGROUND:The relationship between normal and tangential force components (grip force - GF and load force - LF, respectively) acting on the digits-object interface during object manipulation reveals neural mechanisms involved in movement control. Here, we examined whether the feedback type provided to the participants during exertion of LF would influence GF-LF coordination and task performance. METHODS:Sixteen young (24.7 ±3.8 years-old) volunteers isometrically exerted continuously sinusoidal F(Z) (vertical component of LF) by pulling a fixed instrumented handle up and relaxing under two feedback conditions: targeting and tracking. In targeting condition, F(Z) exertion range was determined by horizontal lines representing the upper (10 N) and lower (1 N) targets, with frequency (0.77 or 1.53 Hz) dictated by a metronome. In tracking condition, a sinusoidal template set at similar frequencies and range was presented and should be superposed by the participants' exerted F(Z). Task performance was assessed by absolute errors at peaks (AE(Peak)) and valleys (AE(Valley)) and GF-LF coordination by GF-LF ratios, maximum cross-correlation coefficients (r(max)), and time lags. RESULTS:The results revealed no effect of feedback and no feedback by frequency interaction on any variable. AE(Peak) and GF-LF ratio were higher and r(max) lower at 1.53 Hz than at 0.77 Hz. CONCLUSION:These findings indicate that the type of feedback does not influence task performance and GF-LF coordination. Therefore, we recommend the use of tracking tasks when assessing GF-LF coordination during isometric LF exertion in externally fixed instrumented handles because they are easier to understand and provide additional indices (e.g., RMSE) of voluntary force control.
