Characterization of the disruption of neural control strategies for dynamic fingertip forces from attractor reconstruction

Abstract: The Strength-Dexterity (SD) test measures the ability of the pulps of the thumb and index finger to compress a compliant and slender spring prone to buckling at low forces (<3N). We know that factors such as aging and neurodegenerative conditions bring deteriorating physiological changes (e.g., at the level of motor cortex, cerebellum, and basal ganglia), which lead to an overall loss of dexterous ability. However, little is known about how these changes reflect upon the dynamics of the underlying biological s… Show more

“…The detailed rationale and methodology for this nonlinear analysis are provided in detail elsewhere[29] and in[6], and therefore, are only described briefly below. It is based on the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems, where the time evolution of a system is defined in a phase space or state space .…”

“…The embedding parameters τ and m must be properly chosen to accurately reconstruct the attractor. Several approaches have been proposed to choose the optimal embedding delay, and for this analysis we focus on and employ the first minimum of the mutual information function[29, 36]. The embedding delay τ must be large enough so that the information gained from measuring the value of y i+ τ is significantly different from the information already known from the previous point, y i .…”
