OBJECTIVE:hypothesized Cross-transfer effects were investigated during an occupationally embedded task that involved learning a fine motor skill. Cross-transfer is a phenomenon needed that occurs when an untrained limb receives some of the same benefits in performance from unilateral training that the contralateral may limb received. It was hypothesized that cross-transfer would occur after a unilateral training regime using an occupationally embedded task. METHOD:or Forty-eight participants (mean age = 24.4 years) volunteered for this repeated-measures study. Participants were randomly assigned to a training or the control group and were asked to complete a toy maze with their right and left hands for the pretest and population posttest. Whereas participants in the control group did not train, participants in the training group completed a toy maze three this times a day for 7 days with their left hands. All participants returned in 1 week to complete the posttest of portion of the experiment. Dependent variables included movement time, movement units, force oscillations, and average force. RESULTS: Significant decreases in returned movement time and force oscillations were found for the untrained limbs (p <.0125) in the training group. No significant hands. differences were found in movement units or average force. The improved movement time and force oscillations in the untrained limb assigned provides evidence suggesting that cross-transfer occurred. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that with a population without impairments, cross-transfer can occur during complete an occupationally embedded task. This phenomenon may prove useful to the field of occupational therapy to rehabilitate immobilized extremities. Further extremities. research is needed to test this phenomenon with special populations.
