iTMT Protocol | Unit | Description |
---|---|---|
Start Point | NA | When the computer-cursor was inside of the home circle and cursor velocity exceeded a pre-defined threshold (initiation of movement) |
End Point | NA | When the computer-cursor reached to one of the target circle and cursor velocity was below a pre-defined threshold (stopped in the target circle) |
iTMT Trial | NA | A target reaching including moving the computer-cursor from the home circle to one of the target circle |
iTMT Round | NA | Five iTMT trials including successfully completing reaching to all five targets (1-A-2-B-3) |
iTMT Test | NA | The whole iTMT test including successfully completing three iTMT rounds |
iTMT Derived Parameters | Unit | Description |
iTMT Time | s | The time needed to successfully complete the iTMT test |
iTMT Velocity | unit/s | Maximum ankle-rotation velocity, averaged by the first 15 iTMT trials |
iTMT Power | Unit2/s3 | Maximum multiplication of ankle-rotation velocity and ankle-rotation acceleration, averaged by the first 15 iTMT trials |
iTMT Exhaustion | % | Percentage of decline in maximum ankle-rotation velocity from the 1-to-5 iTMT trials toward the 11-to-15 iTMT trials |
iTMT Variability | % | Coefficient of variation (CoV) of ankle-rotation velocity during the first 15 iTMT trials |
