    • The present invention describes computer-implemented methods and apparatus for treating motor control and somatosensory perception deficits. The motor control and somatosensory perception deficits may have their genesis in a wide variety of issues ranging from injury, disease, or a gradual degradation of motor control over time due to repetitive strain, for example. By administering a computer-implemented training regime directed to improve sensory feedback and motor control, abnormal motor control and somatosensory perception may be substantially improved. The computer-implemented training regime includes somatosensory perception and motor control exercises which may be flexibly administered. Several training apparatus are described for implementing the somatosensory perception and motor control exercises. The training apparatus described herein are capable of driving improvements in temporal, spatial and intensity resolution of somatosensory feedback. In addition, the apparatus allow the training to be monitored and adapted on a quantitative basis as treatment proceeds. Advantageously, this provides a more accurate and effective training tool for treating motor control deficits. Further, the computer-implemented methods and apparatus allow treatment to be administered in the convenience of the person's own home and on a daily basis.

    • A method and apparatus for implementing a training regimen which addresses motor control problems accompanied by sensory degradation. Accordingly, the training regimen is applicable to motor control disorders associated with a variety of different causes, including traumatic injury, disease, aging and gradual “occupational” type injury. For example, in an individual suffering from repetitive strain injury (RSI), the disabling motor control problems are often accompanied by sensory problems. These sensory problems appear to be caused over time by harmful attended rapid repetitive movements resulting in undesirable changes in the somatosensory, proprioceptive and/or kinesthetic ability of the affected regions of the individual. The present invention hypothesizes that repetitive delivery of simultaneous or nearly simultaneous afferent sensory inputs, under attended conditions of high cognitive drive, results in a learning-induced integration of the representation of the individuality of otherwise differentiable parts of the subjects thereby degrading the sensory feedback loop necessary for normal motor control. What started out as a degradation of the sensory feedback capability, essential for proper motor control, eventually manifests over time as a motor control problem. Thus, motor control problems which are accompanied by sensory degradation can be alleviated by a regimen of remedial re-differentiating sensory training of the affected regions of the individual. Accordingly, the training regimen differentially stimulates two locations within the afflicted portion of the individual. Feedback from the individual indicates the degree of difficulty the individual has in sensing differentially between the two locations. The stimulation is then adapted to the individual based on the feedback. Adaptation includes increasing the distance between the two locations and/or changing the spectral or temporal characteristics of the stimuli.
