Nondominant hand computer mouse training and the bilateral transfer effect to the dominant hand

Abstract: This study explored the effects of training computer mouse use in the nondominant hand on clicking performance of the dominant and nondominant hands. Computer mouse use is a daily operation in the workplace and requires minute hand and wrist movements developed and refined through practice and training for many years. Our study had eleven right-handed computer mouse users train their nondominant hand for 15 min a day, five days per week, for six weeks. This study found improved performance with the computer mo… Show more

“…A possible reason for this observation may be due to the impact that short term learning effect has on the outcome of the capacity test. Short term learning effect of the ExtRA Capacity Test may have had a smaller effect on the dominant arm when compared to the non-dominant arm due to increased familiarisation that the individual has performing skill-based tasks with the dominant limb (Gonzalez et al, 2015; Schweiger et al, 2021).…”

“…For example, the Eduball method forces schoolchildren to practice bilateral [ 93 ] and non-dominant hand/leg training [ 94 , 95 ]. As the effect of an interhemispheric transfer [ 96 , 97 ], Eduball may increase the efficiency of PE in some motor parameters, mostly in object control skills (for more on a bilateral transfer effect, see [ 98 , 99 , 100 ]). Studies including longer than a one-semester intervention (e.g., a one-year experiment) are, however, needed to confirm this possible beneficial effect.…”

“…Data was obtained from 6 males (29.8 ± 1.8 years (mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM)) and 6 females (28.8 ± 2.1 years). Participant number was based on an a priori power analysis of mean difference in pre- and post-training scores for dominant and non-dominant hand computer mouse use [ 32 ].…”
