Kodi Cheng presents a novel paradigm to study the skill amputees have required in using their prosthesis. She used eye-tracking to study how visuo-motor coordination during the use of a prosthesis approaches natural eye-hand coordination. With this approach she won the Young Investigator Award at the large International RehabWeek 2022 Conference in Rotterdam. https://blinclab.ca/members/kodi/
Abstract
Upper limb prosthesis users have disruptions to eye-hand coordination, with increased visual fixations towards the hand and less visual allocation for feedforward planning. Advanced upper limb prostheses aim to restore coordinated hand and arm function. However, this objective can be difficult to quantify as coordinated movements require an intact visuomotor system. Combined eye tracking and motion capture are technologies used to measure eye movements and upper limb kinematics, respectively. This talk will introduce the use of these technologies and explore its applications in studying the visuomotor behaviours of upper limb prosthesis users.
