Duration is expressed in ms. Velocity peak is expressed in m/s. Acceleration peak is expressed in m/s2. Straightness refers to the index of curvature, i.e. the percentage ratio between the arm average path length and the length of a straight line joining the initial and final positions. Smoothness refers to the number of units of the reaching movement velocity curves. Overshooting is expressed in mm. Values are means ±1 standard error of the mean.
