TABLE 2.
Definition of temporal synchronization in positive and negative mapping.
Mode | Definition of ΔTS (time difference between the moment of event A and B) | Calculation of ΔTS | ||
Event A | Event B | Left hand | Right hand | |
Positive mapping | Starting to inhale | Starting to increase force | ∣T(B1) − T(L1)∣ | ∣T(B1) − T(R1)∣ |
Inhalation end | Force reaching the maximum | ∣T(B2) − T(L2)∣ | ∣T(B2) − T(R2)∣ | |
Starting to exhale | Starting to decrease force | ∣T(B3) − T(L3)∣ | ∣T(B3) − T(R3)∣ | |
Exhalation end | Force reaching the minimum | ∣T(B4) − T(L4)∣ | ∣T(B4) − T(R4)∣ | |
Negative mapping | Starting to exhale | Starting to increase force | ∣T(B1) − T(L1)∣ | ∣T(B1) − T(R1)∣ |
Exhalation end | Force reaching the maximum | ∣T(B2) − T(L2)∣ | ∣T(B2) − T(R2)∣ | |
Starting to inhale | Starting to decrease force | ∣T(B3) − T(L3)∣ | ∣T(B3) − T(R3)∣ | |
Inhalation end | Force reaching the minimum | ∣T(B4) − T(L4)∣ | ∣T(B4) − T(R4)∣ |
