Implication

This observational study shows that acute loss of tactile input impairs eye-hand coordination, suggesting altered sensory reliance during dexterous tasks.

Key Points

Participants maintained task performance despite the loss of tactile feedback, but took longer to complete trials.
Notable changes in gaze-hand coordination occurred, indicating a compensatory mechanism for lost tactile input.
Digital anesthesia was used to remove cutaneous sensations while preserving motor function in a dexterity task.
These findings highlight the importance of sensory feedback and the compensatory nature of eye-hand coordination.
