Abstract Summary
This work examined the performance of a hand-tracking task prior-to and following either wrist flexor or extensor isometric fatigue. Wrist extension and flexion force decreased equally following fatigue. Tracking error was significantly greater immediately following fatigue compared with baseline, but recovered to pre-fatigue levels after one minute. This work suggests fatigue of the flexors and extensors is equally detrimental to hand and wrist performance.
