Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for improving one of a somatosensory perception and a motor control deficit for a human subject using a computer-implemented training apparatus, said computer-implemented method comprising:(a) administering, using said computer-implemented training apparatus, a training regime including one of a set of somatosensory and motor control exercises to said human subject, said training regime having sufficient intensity to affect a lasting improvement in said one of a somatosensory perception and motor control deficit within said human subject;(b) obtaining, using said computer-implemented training apparatus, a performance response of said human subject responsive to said one of a set of somatosensory and motor control exercises;(c) altering, using said computer-implemented training apparatus, one or more parameters pertaining to said one of a set of somatosensory and motor control exercises, wherein said altering of said one or more parameters is performed responsive to said performance response and is configured to facilitate improving said one of a somatosensory perception and a motor control deficit within said human subject; and(d) repeating at least (a) for a sufficient number of repetitions to affect said lasting improvement in said one of a somatosensory perception and a motor control deficit.
