dc.description Visuo-motor skills are essential in the performance of various everyday tasks. These skills can be impaired in several neurological conditions. Effective rehabilitation schemes are needed in order to improve visuo-motor coordination in such subjects. This study will propose and test a training regimen as a potential approach for improving fine eye-hand coordination. It will also seek to understand the significance of feedback in visuo-motor improvement. We tested three groups of subjects: those who received training with feedback, those who received training without feedback, and a control group that received no training. The results indicate the effectiveness of our training routine and also highlight the importance of feedback in improving eye-hand coordination.
