Electrical Muscle Stimulation-Based Approach for Enhancing Hand-eye Coordination Training

Published: 11 May 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Hand-eye coordination refers to the harmonization between visual information and hand movements. In this coordination, the information perceived by the eyes is used to guide the movements of the hands. When faced with an unfamiliar activity, it is challenging to develop coordination between the hands in a short period. This study proposes a method for hand coordination training using Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). By employing EMS, it is possible to enhance attention distribution during bilateral hand movements and improve hand-eye coordination, potentially enabling individuals to train hand coordination skills in a shorter period. Ten participants performed a series of experiments with and without EMS. The results showed that the use of EMS rapidly improved participants’ hand-eye coordination skills during a customized training program.
