A quantitative analysis of the so-called finger-tapping test was performed on 111 normal subjects. Quantitative analysis was also performed on 17 patients with cerebellar diseases, 14 with parkinsonism, and 14 with hemiparesis. All analyses were performed in a simple fashion using an 8-bit microcomputer fed through an electrocardiographic apparatus ...

Finger joint coordination during tapping
Journal of Biomechanics, 2006We investigated finger joint coordination during tapping by characterizing joint kinematics and torques in terms of muscle activation patterns and energy profiles. Six subjects tapped with their index finger on a computer keyswitch as if they were typing on the middle row of a keyboard.

Ipsilesional disruptions to reciprocal finger tapping
Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 1992Impairments in repetitive finger tapping have not been found in the ipsilesional hand, possibly because the performance measure (tapping rate) which has been used is not sufficiently sensitive. In this study, tapping performance of patients with lateralized brain damage was examined using more detailed measures reflecting intertap variability and the ...

Finger Tapping: Effects of Trials and Sessions
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 198618 normal, self-reported dextral subjects (9 men, 9 women) were assessed with a Halstead Manual Finger Tapping device, with 10 trials per hand for 10 consecutive wk. The test-retest reliability of the 10-trial average between the 10 sessions averaged .94 for men and .86 for women, for both preferred and nonpreferred hands.

FINGER TAPPING AND COGNITION IN PARKINSON'S
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2015ObjectiveTo investigate separable components of finger tapping (FT) of the thumb and index finger in Parkinson's (PD) with normal (PD-NC) and impaired cognition (PD-CI) and in healthy controls (HC).Methods58 PD and 29 HC performed FT for 30 seconds whilst attached to electromagnetic movement sensors sampling at 60 Hz.

Alternate finger tapping test in patients with migraine
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009Migraine patients are thought to show some cognitive dysfunction and slight structural abnormalities in the white matter of the brain, whereas most patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are known to have numerous white matter lesions, often affecting the corpus callosum.

Sex differences in finger tapping: A developmental study
Neuropsychologia, 1976Abstract The development of serial order in a simple finger-tapping task was examined in normal school age boys and girls from 5 to 16 yr. Girls were consistently more accurate in adhering to the rate of an external entraining beat and in tapping to a steady rhythm.

Spatial Memory for Patterns of Taps on the Fingers
IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2015Ongoing development of haptic technology has the potential to provide significant improvement in safety and performance in demanding environments where vision and hearing are compromised. Research regarding the cognitive psychology of touch is lacking and could be beneficial in the development of expectations about human performance for the refinement ...

Tracking irregular acoustic patterns by finger tapping
International Journal of Psychophysiology, 1988Acoustical sequences were divided by time intervals of various durations, and the performance of finger tappings following the stimuli were recorded. The results proved that it is difficult to synchronize finger tapping with irregular acoustical patterns.

Cognitive and biomechanical influences in pianists’ finger tapping
Experimental Brain Research, 2006Movement sequences such as typing or tapping display important interactions among finger movements arising from anticipatory motion (preparing for upcoming events) and coupling (non-independence among fingers). We examined pianists' finger tapping for the influence of cognitive chunking processes and biomechanical coupling constraints.
