The mechanisms that the central nervous system employs to control the movement performed with the upper limbs is still matter of research [1]. The present work proposes a neurophysiological approach allowing to decode the electrical activity during the reaching and grasping movement compared to a resting state condition through the assessment of the synchronization between high-density EEG and the data gathered by a stereofotogrammetric system. The results of this study could be particularly relevant for the evaluation of the mechanisms of functional recovery of finalist movements, such as reaching and grasping, in patients with acute stroke.

Abstract
The mechanisms that the central nervous system employs to control the movement performed with the upper limbs is still matter of research [1]. The present work proposes a neurophysiological approach allowing to decode the electrical activity during the reaching and grasping movement compared to a resting state condition through the assessment of the synchronization between high-density EEG and the data gathered by a stereofotogrammetric system. The results of this study could be particularly relevant for the evaluation of the mechanisms of functional recovery of finalist movements, such as reaching and grasping, in patients with acute stroke.
