Abstract

Client-oriented program objectives (COPOs) provide a structure to evaluate the quality of your agency's services and to demonstrate accountability to the consumers of your services. Agencies are encouraged to take a proactive stance and to examine their major service programs in light of the client outcomes their home care services are intended to achieve. Development of one or two major COPOs for each service program can be easily managed using the steps outlined in this article.

Integration of visual and somatosensory target information in goal-directed eye and arm movements.

In this study, we compared separate and coordinated eye and hand movements towards visual or somatosensory target stimuli in a dark room, where no visual position information about the hand could be obtained. Experiment 1 showed that saccadic reaction times (RTs) were longer when directed to somatosensory targets than when directed to visual targets in both single- and dual-task conditions. However, for hand movements, this pattern was only found in the dual-task condition and not in the single-task condition. Experiment 1 also showed that correlations between saccadic and hand RTs were significantly higher when directed towards somatosensory targets than when directed towards visual targets. Importantly, experiment 2 indicated that this was not caused by differences in processing times at a perceptual level. Furthermore, hand-pointing accuracy was found to be higher when subjects had to move their eyes as well (dual task) compared to a single-task hand movement. However, this effect was more pronounced for movements to visual targets than to somatosensory targets. A schematic model of sensorimotor transformations for saccadic eye and goal-directed hand movements is proposed and possible shared mechanisms of the two motor systems are discussed.
