Table 1 note: Dependent variables (HRT = hand reaction time; HMT = ballistic hand movement time; HCMT = corrective hand movement time; peak velocity; on/off-axis CE = constant error; Angle = angle at peak velocity; path length; TTR = time to recovery from a direction reversal) were tested with separate modified t-tests [53] for each condition (C = coronal 180°/90°; H = horizontal; S = para-sagittal) for each visual target type (diagonal/horizontal). Note that a negative change in peak velocity or on-axis CE reflects an impaired performance for IG relative to the controls. *p′<0.05; **p′<0.001; ***p′<0.001; ****p′<0.0001, corrected for multiple comparisons (Holm-Bonferroni).
