Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is based on previous studies on the search of the limit of the peri-personal space. In a previous study, Gouzien et al. (2017) evaluated the peri-personal space of action of patients with upper limb amputations and sought a link between this space and the level of integration of their myoelectric prosthesis. We have decided to implement part of this protocol to evaluate the peri-personal space for another population with upper limb patholog: segmental exclusion of the upper limb.

Exclusion is a phenomenon that is very little studied but known to orthopedic surgeons and physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians. It is characterized by the non-use or underuse of a limb segment in the absence of central nervous system involvement. This phenomenon is compared to peripheral neglect. Most of the time, the patient is unaware of his disorder "he forgets his finger without realizing it", but this phenomenon can be reversible under verbal exhortation from a third party.

The aim of this study is to observe if there is a change in peri-personal space in patients with unilateral segmental exclusion.

Patients with exclusion

Measurement of the actual and perceived maximum reachable distance

Intervention Type OTHER

A device (a table) will present luminous targets (green circles) to the subjects. Subjects will be asked to determine whether or not they are able to reach this target with their upper limb.

Control

Measurement of the actual and perceived maximum reachable distance

Intervention Type OTHER

A device (a table) will present luminous targets (green circles) to the subjects. Subjects will be asked to determine whether or not they are able to reach this target with their upper limb.
