Peripheral nerve dysfunction could affect this control. We used Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a compressive neuropathy of the median nerve, as a model of nerve dysfunction. Whether CTS affects in-flight aspects of reaching-to-grasp is unknown. We compared kinematics of movements in CTS and healthy controls, using motion capture. We varied object properties to determine whether anticipatory signatures of reaching-to-grasp are preserved in CTS. We also examined the effect of removing visual feedback at movement onset. This manipulation forces greater reliance on non-visual control signals, which should highlight impairments due to CTS, while indexing how much movements rely on vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reach for this new ArticleinPress!(Michela Paroli et al.
