Healthy volunteers help unravel movement mysteries
NCT ID NCT02610647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how complex our movements are by measuring finger-tapping patterns in 60 healthy volunteers. The goal was to understand normal sensorimotor behavior and see if these measurements could be useful in future clinical settings. No treatment was given; it was purely observational.
