Dataset description

Using kinematic analysis and Visual 3D software we calculated temporal and spatial variables regarding how people with a cervical spinal cord injury reach and grasp objects using one hand and two hands simultaneously compared to younger and older adults. Participants with a cSCI produced reach-to-grasp actions which took longer, were slower, and had longer deceleration phases than uninjured participants. These differences were exacerbated during bimanual reach-to-grasp tasks. Maximal grasp aperture was no different between groups, but reached earlier by people with cSCI. Participants with a cSCI were less synchronous than younger and older adults but all groups used the deceleration phase for error correction to end the movement in a synchronous fashion.
