Age-Related Differences in Bimanual Isometric Force Tracking by Elisa Galofaro, Nicola Vale, Giulia Ballardini, Nicola Smania, Maura Casadio

“…Notably, the percentage of total force exerted by the left hand was negatively correlated with the disparity between the left and right coefficients of variation. This study confirms previous findings on the effect of aging on bimanual force control and provides evidence suggesting that the contribution of each hand may depend on the variability in force exertion.…”
