Spiral Analysis Normative Data Study

 

Brief Study Description

    This study looks at upper limb motor function and aims to collect data about how normal    

    controls execute a particular task that is commonly used in the neurologic exam--drawing

    spirals. We seek healthy individuals with no history of depression, neurologic disorders, or

    recent hand or arm injuries. You will be asked to draw spirals with both hands, under various

    conditions (e.g., vision, no vision, clockwise, and counterclockwise). The study involves no

    needles, medication, or restrictive devices. The total time of participation is around 1 hour,

    including time for screening, explanation, and drawing. You will be compensated $20 for

    your time and travel expenses. For more information, please refer to the consent form,
