    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomechanics
    • Human Motor Control

    Background:

    • Understanding motor control is crucial for rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
    • Task difficulty is a key factor influencing movement execution and control strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of task difficulty on motor control during target-reaching movements.
    • To analyze kinematic variables in relation to the index of difficulty (ID).

    Main Methods:

    • Twelve healthy subjects performed target-reaching tasks with varying target sizes and distances.
    • Fitts' law was used to quantify task difficulty (Index of Difficulty - ID).
    • Kinematic variables including peak velocity (Vpeak), percentage time to peak velocity (PTPV), normalized jerk score (NJS), and fuzzy approximate entropy (fApEn) were measured.

    Main Results:

    • Both movement distance and target size significantly affected kinematic parameters, except for Vpeak influenced by target size.
    • A linear relationship was observed between PTPV or NJS and ID.
    • Vpeak and fApEn showed a linear relation to ID only when considering individual target sizes across distances.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased task difficulty may prompt a shift from feedforward to feedback motor control.
    • Findings enhance understanding of motor control in reaching movements and suggest potential clinical evaluation methods.
